Breaking down Drake Maye's first career start in Patriots 41-21 loss to Texans

There were some good things from Drake Maye in his first NFL start, and some bad things from the rookie and the team as a whole in the Patriots 41-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Dan Roche and Mike Reiss break down Maye's performance and a fifth straight loss by New England.

If Christian comes back it helps stopping the run game also it doesn't help when your best linebacker your best safety and your best defensive lineman are gone and missing Bently is a huge hit to the defense

Encouraging game in that if Brissette had played it would have been 41-3. Baby steps.

He's right. The defense was supposed to be the shinning object. Pretty dull. Think the miss BB. He was glue that held it together for 23 years.

Penalties. Fumbles. Play calling.
Too many 3rd and long. No Stephenson.

We coming, NFL world, Patriots coming again. we just need some Tackles in the draft and a deep threat. You can see already see the Maye and Pop Douglas chemistry building. Team needs more discipline.

Cant give the first time coach time to get things together with this shamful downing him right off the back.

If they can shore up a better O line get better WR’s and better coaching this kid has a ton of talent
I see a 6’4 Aaron Rodgers if the organization builds appropriately around him

Who would of thought the defense is the worst unit on the field by week 5
