Former President of the United States Donald Trump took the time during his campaign to point out the New England Patriots‘ struggles in the 2023 season. Trump ripped into the Patriots by saying, “What’s going on with the Patriots?” He ultimately gave head coach Bill Belichick his praise by saying how good of a coach he is, but that did not stop him from wondering why New England has been struggling so much this season.

Donald Trump Is Right!
The New England Patriots have gotten off to a horrific 1-4 start to the 2023 NFL season. Their main problems come from the offense which has been having lots of trouble scoring points. The defense has been somewhat decent this season, but it is hard to recognize that with how bad the offense is. The Pats have allowed their opponents to outscore them 72-3 in the last two games for New England. The two opponents include the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints.
Quarterback Mac Jones has not been doing well at all and has been the main focal point of New England’s struggles. In the first five games of the season, Jones has only amounted to 1,008 passing yards and five touchdowns. He has also thrown for six interceptions this season which means he has more picks than touchdowns so far. If he wants to keep his job, he will need to step up his game big time.
What The Patriots Do From Here
Overall, the Patriots look like they could finish as one of the worst teams in the league. Some speculate that they are losing on purpose to try and get a quarterback in the draft like USC superstar Caleb Williams. After the embarrassing loss to the Saints in week five, Belichick told reporters that he is “Ready to start over” when talking about where the Pats go from here.
It has been a dumpster fire in New England so far and things do not look like they will get much better. They have one of the tougher schedules coming up and will be playing teams like the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills twice, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s not looking good over in Foxborough, and it is so bad that even Donald Trump took notice.
