Let me start off by saying that if Sunday isn’t Bill Belichick’s final game in New England, I’ll be copying and pasting this when the day finally comes anyway, so you might as well just read it now.

As Matt Slater stood at the podium on Thursday morning answering questions about his (most likely) retirement and career as a whole, there was already a sense of acceptance in his voice that this will in fact be the end of a tremendous career.

As rumors continue to swirl about the future of the organization, one guy at the center of much of the discussion is Jerod Mayo.

As we start 2024, the football season will officially end when the Pats close things out against the Jets next Sunday at Gillette. We thought we’d start to look ahead to the top storylines locally for the upcoming season with Pro Days and combines right around the corner. Heck, it’ll be time for high school and college training camps before you know it! 1. The future of the Patriots This……
Image courtesy of Adrian Kraus/AP Photo) Ugly is an understatement when trying to sum up the Bills-Pats game in Orchard Park on Sunday. Turnovers ruled the day as New England handed Buffalo the ball four times en route to a 27-21 loss. Bailey Zappe had three first half interceptions and even though the Pats were in it late thanks to another impressive defensive effort, New England dropped to 4-12 on…
