Patriots: Pats put on another brutal performance against Miami, will play Buffalo on Wild Card Weekend
Photo: Getty Images After talking so much all week about needing to build upon the Jacksonville game and gain some momentum heading into the playoffs, the Patriots had arguably its worst performance of the season in the finale against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon. For the third time in four games since the bye, New England no showed early and built an almost immediate hole that was ultimately too big…
NFL: Bill Belichick impressed with Hunter Long despite seeing minimal snaps during his rookie year
When the Patriots play the Dolphins in the regular season finale this Sunday, former Boston College tight end Hunter Long will officially wrap up his rookie season in the NFL. Long was a third round pick for Miami in last year’s draft. The former Eagle has appeared in seven games and has just one catch on three targets this season, but that’s mainly because the Dolphins have two very good…
Patriots: Ahead of snow storm Friday, no one wants to be “That Guy”
There will be no excuses for Patriots players not to be in the building on Friday morning while the snow flies around New England. No “my car wouldn’t start” will be accepted from anyone. Bill Belichick gave his team “the snow speech” on Thursday. No one wants to be That Guy. “Just talking about getting ready for the snow, I live in an apartment complex right now so I’m sure…
Patriots: Pats looking at Miami matchup as an opportunity to get better, not a revenge game or playoff tune-up
Photo: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Sunday’s game in Miami isn’t a revenge game or a tune-up game for the postseason, it’s an opportunity to get better. No more, no less. When the Bills and Jets kickoff simultaneously with the Pats and Dolphins at 4:25, New England won’t know whether the AFC East title is on the line or not until things start to unfold in Orchard Park, which means the Patriots…
Patriots: In need of a “get right” game, Pats throttle Jags by 40 & clinch playoff spot
FOXBOROUGH – Back in 2018, the Patriots blew out the Jets on December 30th and everyone sort of dismissed it. Later on after the Super Bowl run, players admitted just how important that type of “get right” game was. So, when the hapless Jaguars visited Gillette Stadium Sunday afternoon for what could possibly be the last Patriots home game of the year, another day like that one in 2018 was…
Patriots: Secondary looking for answers after loss to Buffalo
Photo: AP Photo/Bill Kostroun Entering the game this past Sunday, no one in their right mind thought Isaiah McKenzie would be the guy to torch the Patriots when Buffalo came to town. Stefon Diggs was supposed to get held in check by JC Jackson, especially after Jackson was talking about naming an island for himself akin to Revis Island back in the day. Instead, McKenzie had 11 catches for 125…

Patriots: Defense no-shows in 33-21 loss to Buffalo, Pats drop to No. 6 seed in the AFC
FOXBOROUGH – A year ago at this time, the Patriots were playing for pride, and even that was iffy. A day after Christmas this season, the stakes could not have been higher at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. With the Bills visiting for a much-anticipated rematch of the Monday night hurricane game a few weeks ago, there was no Christmas spirit on the field, just pure hatred with the AFC East…
Patriots: Pats enjoying Christmas while balancing preparation for showdown with Buffalo
As much as we’d all like to think Bill Belichick is the living, breathing, walking example of Scrooge, that’s just simply not the case. Bill is actually a big fan of Christmas. On Christmas Eve Friday, New England practiced inside Gillette Stadium around noon time with light snow falling and Christmas carols blaring throughout the stadium. Assistant coaches ran some red zone plays while players stretched at the start and…
