What a difference three days makes, huh? This past Tuesday in our weekly Tampa Bay Tuesday piece I closed by saying it appeared this Buccaneers team was starting to gel and become a formidable opponent. Well, with an ugly 20-19 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football, I could not have been more wrong. The game ended with Tom Brady giving us his best Brian Hoyer impression, forgetting…

It’s been quite a week or so for the Patriots. Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria had the unenviable task of interviewing the coach on Tuesday afternoon. The loss was one thing, but, just the circumstances surrounding the team right now are making the “focus on what you can control” mantra harder than ever to follow. What stood out Tuesday? Ordway opened by addressing that very topic, asking Bill…

Charlie Riedel/Associated Press This was setting up to potentially be one of the greatest regular season wins in franchise history. October 5, 2020 was going to be a night Patriots fans remembered in the same class as the comeback against Denver on that frigid night in Foxborough or, Drew Bledsoe’s win over Minnesota. The incredible story was unfolding before all of our eyes. New England’s starting quarterback was diagnosed with…

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports It still doesn’t look right, but Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are 2-1. Brady went in to what is usually a house of horrors for him and had a good day to help get the Bucs a 28-10 win over the Broncos. We all know how it’s usually looked when he went to Denver in his career, so this was probably a nice little mental hurdle…

This week’s interview with Bill Belichick by Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria was the best one  yet. Some failed humor regarding nicknames made for some outstanding awkward silence, but Bill also had some interesting stuff to say regarding Sunday’s 36-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This week the running game will be absolutely critical if the Patriots have any shot to hang with the high powered Chiefs…

As always, it’s one of the more valuable pieces of radio in this area each week that sometimes doesn’t get the credit it deserves. This week was a tough one for the entire Patriots organization as Bill…

AP Photo/Elaine Thompson SEATTLE – Dating back to the infamous “you mad bro?” in 2012, the Patriots and Seahawks have played some all-time classics. The Malcolm Butler pick, the non-pass interference call at Gillette back in 2016, and now another game can be added to the list. Cam Newton (397 yards) and Russell Wilson (288 yards, 5 TD’s) had a duel for the ages that saw the Patriots fell 35-30…
