New England Patriots 2025 Season Preview with Karen Guregian: Can Mike Vrabel Lead the Turnaround?

The New England Patriots are starting fresh in 2025, with Mike Vrabel taking over as head coach and Drake Maye stepping into his second year as the franchise quarterback. In this annual Missing the Point Patriots Season Preview, host Mike Marcangelo is joined by MassLive’s own Karen Guregian (@kguregian) to break down what fans should really expect this season.

This detailed conversation covers:

• Mike Vrabel’s leadership style and how it differs from Bill Belichick’s final years

• How Josh McDaniels’ return shapes the offensive identity

• Karen’s exclusive interview with Ernie Adams and why “you can’t win if you can’t block”

• Why the team moved on from Jabrill Peppers despite his physical style

• Stefon Diggs’ potential impact and why his role may resemble DeAndre Hopkins’ WR2 success in Houston

• Updates on Christian Gonzalez’s injury and how it affects the defense

• Concerns over offensive line depth and how it could determine the season’s success

• The role of rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson as an explosive third-down weapon

• WR Efton Chism’s impressive preseason and where he fits into a crowded receiver room

Karen also gives a game-by-game prediction, landing on a 9-8 finish and explaining what that record really means in today’s AFC.

If you’re a Patriots fan looking for real insight—not hype—this episode is your go-to preview for the 2025 season.
