Now officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Patriots will play out the string in Weeks 16 and 17 before looking ahead to an uncertain future. The guys discuss why Bill Belichick and the team failed in multiple ways this season, and give a progress report on the many first-year players who saw meaningful snaps in last week's loss to the Dolphins. Episode 17 of the Patriots Wire podcast is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group, with a fantasy segment from The Huddle and sports betting advice from the Sportsbook Wire.
