November 3, 2020

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Tom 6, Bill 2. It’s obviously not that simple, but as it stands after Monday night’s 25-23 win for the Buccaneers, Brady is winning the first round of the “was it the coach or quarterback?” argument that will last for decades. Brady technically needed a non-pass interference call to get to 6-2 on the year, but the Bucs are now second in the NFC, just behind…

Patriots: Cam Newton fumbles game away, Pats lose to Bills 24-21

As ugly as it looked on Sunday, the Patriots still had a chance to rip the hearts out of Buffalo Bills fans everywhere. Entering the season-altering game in a damp, cold and raw Orchard Park, New England was 35-5 against the Bills since 2000. Buffalo led by three with 4:06 remaining, but the Patriots took over at their own 21-yard line with a chance to put together a game-winning drive…

Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF interview on WEEI

In a rather stunning turn of events, Bill Belichick actually answered questions from Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria like a normal human being on Monday. After the embarrassment that was the 33-6 blowout on Sunday, it was just assumed that BB would be his usual ornery self when he met with the guys on Monday. That wasn’t really the case though as Bill gave some legitimately honest answers…

AP Photo/David Becker This looked familiar. If you were smart enough to flip over to Red Zone or find the Buccaneers-Raiders game during the abysmal Patriots game on Sunday, then you saw Tom Brady looking as good as ever with a vintage performance. The Bucs moved to 5-2 with a dominant 45-20 win and it appears like things are truly starting to click this time. Penalties have been down, the…

Patriots: End of the line? 49ers blowout New England by 27 points. Patriots now 2-4

AP Photo/Steven Senne FOXBOROUGH — For some reason last week, the New England Patriots decided to put out an “all dynasty” team. Of course, whenever these teams of the decade or century come out, it signifies the end of an era. So, did the Patriots call their shot when they decided to release the all dynasty team? It sure as hell felt that way on Sunday. The Patriots no-showed in…

The Patriots are now under .500 through at least five games of the season for the first time since 2002. So, when Bill Belichick met with Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria for his weekly appearance on WEEI on Monday, it was sure to be all sunshine and rainbows, right? We got the good old sarcastic Bill back for a good chunk of this week, and credit to the…

The roller coaster that is the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was back up on Sunday. After reaching arguably its lowest point of the season following an ugly Thursday night loss to the Bears, the Bucs continued their up-and-down year with an impressive 38-10 win over the previously unbeaten Packers. This one was more about the Tampa defense forcing Green Bay to flat out quit more than anything Brady or…

This is what the rest of the country has had to watch for the last 20 years. If you were disgusted for the majority of Sunday afternoon’s 18-12 loss to the Broncos, welcome back to the real world Patriots fans. We all knew that things would be drastically different without Tom Brady. However, Sunday’s debacle of a game was the first time we truly saw what life after Brady –…

Tampa Bay Tuesday: Bucs end up a down short in 20-19 loss to Bears

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…

Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly interview with OMF on WEEI

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…
