    Oct 1 2024
    In this in-depth episode of Missing the Point, hosts Rayshawn Buchanan and Michael Marcangelo tackle the New England Patriots' disappointing start to the 2024 NFL season. The Patriots, now sitting at a rough 1-3, face serious questions following their 30-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. The offensive struggles are glaring, and the hosts break down the most critical issues, including quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s inconsistent play, the offensive line’s inability to protect him, and the underperformance of key players like running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Is it time for the Patriots to consider a quarterback change? Rookie Drake Maye is waiting in the wings, but would handing him the reins now help or hurt his development? With Offensive Coordinator Alex Van Pelt under scrutiny, we explore potential adjustments and whether Head Coach Jerod Mayo has the tools to turn this season around. We also address the critical injury situation, with star linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley out for the season, adding even more pressure on the defense, where Christian Gonzalez shines as one of the few bright spots. The episode also delves into how returning players like Kendrick Bourne and Cole Strange might impact the team’s fortunes. Plus, can Joey Slye’s record-setting 63-yard field goal provide a spark in a season that’s spiraling downward? With analysis on everything from Alex Van Pelt’s offensive scheme to how the Patriots can still make a push in a competitive AFC East, this episode offers Patriots fans and NFL followers a comprehensive breakdown of where the team stands and what lies ahead.

    Sep 26 2024
    In this extended episode of Missing the Point, hosts Michael Marcangelo, Dave Clarke, and Bob Kelly dive deep into the most pressing NFL news, starting with Brett Favre’s heartbreaking revelation of his Parkinson’s diagnosis. The former NFL star’s announcement has left fans shocked, as he continues to face personal and legal battles. The conversation then shifts to breaking down NFL teams that may already be out of playoff contention, including the 0-3 Cincinnati Bengals. Despite Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase’s undeniable talent, the Bengals' dismal start has fans and analysts alike questioning their chances. Could Trevor Lawrence’s struggles signal that the Jacksonville Jaguars are officially a cross-off for the season? The Raiders and Titans also come under scrutiny as the hosts debate whether they have any realistic playoff hopes. One of the episode’s more heated debates surrounds the Cleveland Browns and their embattled quarterback, Deshaun Watson. The hosts examine if it’s time for the Browns to move on and start Jameis Winston, especially as Watson’s contract continues to look like one of the worst front-office decisions in recent NFL history. Is there any way for the Browns to salvage their season? The crew also takes a hard look at their own teams: the Bears, Patriots, and Cowboys. With Chicago struggling behind Caleb Williams, is it time for a full reset? The New England Patriots are facing mounting pressure as Jacoby Brissett leads a stagnant offense, while the Cowboys are showing flashes of playoff potential. The episode also dives into honorable mentions like the Seahawks, Jets, and Cardinals, questioning whether Seattle’s win over a Tua-less Dolphins squad is enough to secure them a spot as contenders. Finally, the episode wraps with the weekly NFL Power Rankings. The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Philadelphia Eagles remain dominant, but rising teams like the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans continue to climb. The hosts debate whether the Packers and Saints are legitimate threats or simply benefiting from weak competition. Don’t miss this packed episode filled with hard-hitting NFL analysis, as the hosts dissect which teams are trending up, which are trending down, and where the NFL’s elite are positioned heading into the middle of the season. ------------------ Explore more on our website: https://www.MTPshow.com Connect with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/MTPSHOW Meet our hosts: Mike Marcangelo Dave Clarke Rayshawn Buchanan Bob Kelly Produced by Craig D'Alessandro For inquiries, contact Craig at Craig@mtpshow.com.
