Send Patriots Beat Writer Jeff Howe a Question for His Weekly Mailbag

The season may be over for the New England Patriots, but it’s not too early to start thinking about next season.

The Patriots looked like the best team in the league during the regular season, finishing with a 14-2 record and winning their last eight regular season games. However, the team lost when it counted most, and rather than a Super Bowl XXI rematch with the Green Bay Packers this weekend, Pats players, coaches and fans alike will be watching the Super Bowl at home.

How can the Patriots improve so next season they can play in the big game? Ask Jeff Howe, NESN.com’s Patriots beat writer.

Want to find out who the Patriots will draft in the first round or later? Will they make a move to acquire a big-name receiver? Could Chad Ochocinco be wearing a Patriots jersey? Will Logan Mankins and Matt Light be returning to the offensive line?

Leave your question for Jeff Howe’s mailbag in the comments section below. Jeff will pick a few questions to answer every week. Be sure to check back to see if your question was answered by Jeff.

In his first mailbag of the Pats’ 2011 offseason on Jan. 28, Jeff answered questions regarding the possibility of adding a pair of veteran running backs.
