What happened to the Patriots blocking?

The New England Patriots came into the season with a projected elite offensive line. Mac Jones was supposed to be protected and the running backs were supposed to have holes all game long. Fast forward four games and it's the exact opposite. 

Fans are screaming for the offensive line to be shuffled and for Ted Karras to be inserted while Trent Brown is out. The problem is, it's not just Trent Brown's replacement that is having an issue. If you listen to people, it's the entire line. Karras cannot play the entire line and thus isn't going to make a difference if the other guys can't block.

So what's going on? Before I try to answer this, let me say it's just my opinion. Cole Popovich retired because he didn't want to be socially responsible. Is the problem the coaching? If it is, the Patriots need to get someone in there who can coach the offensive line. It's very late, who is really available to come in?

It could be injuries. Isaiah Wynn is playing for his career. Who knows about the rest of the line. Job security isn't a gimme for linemen. Who knows who else is hurt. It's been said players will stay quiet and hide injuries from medical staffs to avoid losing pay. The Patriots have also been accused of having guys play injured in the past. In fact look how serious both Edelman's and Sanu's 2019 injuries were. Could this be a case in New England?

If it's not the either of the two, then it's a mutiny. People cannot understand what's going on with the line, and things just don't seem to make sense. A mutiny could explain things. The cutting of Cam Newton was a shock to everyone outside the organization. It's possible that it was a shock to some in the organization. Newton's funk friday interview suggested that the decision to cut him came from upstairs. Newton was also a beloved guy by his teammates. Could the line be sending a message to Belichick or Kraft by leaving the offense out to dry? It would not be the first time an offensive line was rumored to refuse to block for a quarterback for various reasons. 

The Patriots have a problem blocking. I am not an expert. I don't know what's going on behind closed doors. Anything is possible. There is a problem in New England. Two of the three scenarios are correctable but if it's the last one, then Bill Belichick may have to make a cut or two to get a message through that he is the captain and what he says goes.

At the moment anyone who lines up behind this line is in danger. Maybe I'm being a little overly worried but better to error on the side of caution than not. I would expect owner Robert Kraft to say something if things continue because he made it clear that losing wasn't an option for the Patriots when talking about the quarterback position in the spring. And if Kraft is behind the cutting of Newton, that word should be coming this week.
