Lots of talk about:

-Is Frank Reich on the hot seat? If Indy continues to struggle, could be be fired this season?

-Where did it go wrong with Matt Ryan?

-How healthy is Jonathan Taylor?

-How has old friend Stephon Gilmore looked with his new team?

-How should Bill Belichick go about attacking the Colts on both sides of the ball?

-Is there any chance that Andrew Luck could end up riding to their rescue sometime soon?

...and much more.

Plenty of topics discussed, including:

-What is Rhamondre Stevenson doing this year that’s allowing him to have success?

-As a running back, how difficult, if at all, is it to share carries with a guy?

-We know about the practical aspects of being traded midseason—new team, new coaching staff, new playbook. But what are some of the things that we on the outside might not be aware of?

-What are some of your favorite Jamie Collins stories?

-How will Pats-Colts shake out?

...and much more.

Lots to talk about this week, including:

-Who would you start Sunday against the Jets, Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones?

-Devin McCourty said that if the defense keep giving up 33 points, it doesn’t matter who is going to be at quarterback. But how much of that loss was really on the shoulders of the D?

-Bill did not name a starter for the Jets game in the wake of Monday’s loss. What’s your guess on how he handle things behind the scenes moving forward?

-How can Tom Brady pull the Bucs out of their spiral?

-What are the Eagles doing that’s allowing them to have success, and can they maintain it?

Chris tackles three things that stand out about the Patriots right now:

-The QB question.

-Is Vegas buying in on New England?

-Can this rookie class be one of the most impactful of Belichick's coaching career?

Then, Kevin Fishbain from The Athletic joins the conversation to preview Pats-Bears...

-How did Chicago get off track, and how can it get things right again?

-What's happened to Justin Fields?

-Could N'Keal Harry make his 2022 debut against his old team Monday night?

-How much chatter in Chicago is there about the possibility of Bill Belichick passing George Halas?

...and much more.

It's a doubleheader this week on "The Patriots Report," as Khari Thompson stops by to talk about New England's win over Detroit, as well as...

-What was the most important defensive play of the Patriots' win?

-Whether or not the Patriots now have a quarterback controversy on their hands.

-How does the schedule set up for New England moving forward?

...and much more.

Then, it's former Super Bowl champion Je'Rod Cherry, who gives us an early look at the Patriots-Browns matchup. Je'Rod talks about...

-Why the Cleveland defense has struggled.

-How Jacoby Brissett has done at the helm of the Browns' offense.

-Which under-the-radar Cleveland player could have a surprise impact Sunday.

...and more, including Cherry's favorite Bill Belichick story.

Lots to talk about with Glover and Jack, including:

-The book on the Lions is simple… great offense — a world-class offense at times — and no defense. But is it really that simple when it comes to facing Detroit?

-How has Dan Campbell's attitude and approach we saw on "Hard Knocks" manifested itself in the first four games of the regular season for the Lions?

-One player on both sides of the ball who we aren’t talking about who has a chance to have a sizable impact on the game Sunday for Detroit.

-How do Lions' fans feel about Matt Patricia these days? What’s his legacy out there?

-If you were Bill Belichick, what’s your game plan for success Sunday?

...and much more.

In the wake of Sunday's game, Chris has a few thoughts on the good...

-the ground game, the rookies, the edge defense, and 95 percent of the offensive play calling.

...and the bad (including, but not limited to)

-the run defense, Isaiah Wynn, and five percent of the offensive play calling.

A first look back at the win over the Steelers, with what we liked:

•The running game and the four-minute offense.

•Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor.

•Most of the defense.

..and what we didn't.

•Get the tight ends more involved.

•Stop messing with Kendrick Bourne.

•The penalties, particularly the ones along the offensive line.

Some opening thoughts on the loss to the Dolphins.

-How do they bounce back?

-One pathway to success would appear to be having the defense carry them for a couple of weeks, while they manage to find some sort of offensive identity or rhythm. Is that a sustainable formula?

-What’s Gillette Stadium like in the days after a loss like that?

-The Steelers feel a little like the Patriots right now — they’re in the first year of the Roethlisberger Era, looking for an identity. Obviously, New England is going through the same thing without Brady. A fair comp?

-LeGarrette was only in Pittsburgh for a short period of time, but he really enjoyed playing for Mike Tomlin.

-Can we draw a parallel between Kendrick Bourne and Jonas Gray?

-And much more...

When it comes to early-season assessments, remember: It's never as bad as you think it is, and it's never as good as you think it is. Who gets a thumbs up for their performance in the Miami heat? And what areas need to be sharpened up moving forward. Chris gets you some answers.
