Things appeared tense in the Patriots owner’s suite Sunday during a clash with the Cardinals in Glendale. Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his son, team president Jonathan Kraft, seemed visibly frustrated after the Patriots lost five yards on a run with four minutes left in the first half and New England trailing, 10-0.

If the usual NFL information peddlers are correct and Robert and Jonathan Kraft are indeed intent on keeping overmatched rookie head coach Jerod Mayo on the job beyond this season, the Patriots’ 40-7 loss to the Chargers Saturday in front of an exclusive national television audience was the kind of debacle that had best make them reconsider.

"They paid to sit in the seats, and we've got to play better. If we play better, we don't have to hear that stuff." The post Patriots coach Jerod Mayo heard the ‘Fire Mayo’ chants and understands crowd’s frustrations appeared first on Boston.

New England's rookie coach was subject to chants calling for his firing in Saturday's home loss to the Chargers.

Jerod Mayo’s walk back to the locker room was slow. It was an eerie evening here. Foggy, dark, foreboding. Even though his tenure has only lasted 16 games, Mayo’s done this walk several times, the sulked retreat to the locker room after a performance that felt like rock bottom only for a new low to arrive.

Jerod Mayo heard it from Patriots fans on Saturday during the team's embarrassing 40-7 loss to the Chargers at Gillette Stadium.
