Foxboro: So, the New England Patriots had a rough game against the Chargers, right? Fans were not happy, booing and even chanting “Fire Mayo.” It’s been a tough season, and the players felt it too. But here’s the thing: special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer had a pretty refreshing take on it.
When asked about the boos, Springer totally got where the fans were coming from. He shared a personal story about being a kid and feeling frustrated when his team wasn’t winning. He said, “If you don’t want to get shot at, don’t join the Army.” It’s a wild analogy, but it makes sense. He knows the pressure of the job and how much fans invest in the game.
Springer pointed out that going to a game isn’t cheap. Families spend a ton of money, and when the team loses badly, it’s understandable that they’d be upset. He’s all about wanting to improve and make sure fans leave happy next time. Unlike some players who were critical of the fans, Springer was more empathetic, saying they have every right to express their feelings.
It’s been a rough year for the Patriots, sitting at 3-13. Fans are frustrated, and honestly, they should be. The team has struggled, especially after such a bad loss. The hope was that rookie quarterback Drake Maye would bring some spark, but it hasn’t been enough. The coaching staff has also faced criticism for the team’s performance.
As the season wraps up, the Patriots are set to face the Buffalo Bills. A win would be nice, but a loss could mean they snag the top pick in the next draft. It’s a tough spot to be in, but at least Springer’s response shows he’s listening to the fans.
