The best conversations about the Patriots this week from The Greg Hill Show, Jones & Keefe, and WEEI Afternoons. Discussing whether the ghastly loss to the Chargers ultimately sealed Jerod Mayo's fate, and whether things would be going differently had the Patriots replaced Bill Belichick with Mike Vrabel. Also, debating how much Drake Maye should play in the season finale against the Bills. Plus, the weekly conversations with Mayo and Maye. All of that and more this week on Best Of the Patriots on WEEI

Kickoff with Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti for week 18 in the NFL. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward worth it in the top 10? Are the Giants still in no mans land? Picks against the spread for games that matter. Phil Simms joins the show to discuss the game of the century Vikings at Lions.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are back together and all share in the frustration that Alex Bregman still hasn't had any conversation with the Red Sox about signing. Where is the confidence level that Bregman will sign with Boston and why this move is so obvious for the Sox to make? Then, Ceddanne Rafaela's position seems a little unknown, but still has the potential to be a better-version of a former ALCS MVP for the Red Sox. And, with Fenway Fest almost a week away, the prospects who will be attending get shared which forces our guys to read into it just a little.
