AP Photo/Lynne Sladky The Patriots dropped their season finale to the Miami Dolphins, 33-24, on Sunday to finish the regular season 10-7. Next up for the Patriots is a Wild Card Round playoff matchup with the Bills in Buffalo. Before they get there, the Patriots will have to try to break a bad habit of self-inflicted wounds in their losses. In the Patriots ten wins, they have generally played well…
All week long the Patriots talked about the importance of getting off to a good start in their game against the Dolphins. Well, it is one thing to talk about and another thing to do it. After giving up an opening drive touchdown, Mac Jones followed that up with a gift wrapped pick six to cornerback Xavien Howard in the right flat. Before you knew, it was 14-0 Miami and…

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…

That feels weird to type but it is our new normal in the NFL after the expansion of the regular season from 16 to 17 games. The Patriots have a division matchup in week 18 with a familiar foe and one that they have some bad memories with, the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have…
The Patriots wrap up the 2021 regular season in Miami against old friend Brian Flores and the Dolphins. The Dolphins beat the Patriots 17-16 opening weekend at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots struggles in Miami are well documented. New England is 17-39 all time and has lost six of the last eight match ups in Miami. To say that Miami has been a house of horrors is an understanding. Here is…
Miami has not been very kind to the Patriots throughout their history. The Patriots have an all time record of 17-39 against the Dolphins in Miami. It has been especially rough in recent years with the Patriots losing in Miami in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020. It has been an ugly stretch despite the fact that the Patriots have won three Super Bowls during that time span. Addressing…
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…
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…
Kristian Wilkerson has worked hard to get his opportunity. It hasn’t always been easy but after a strong training camp in which he caught the coaching staff’s attention, Wilkerson was signed to the practice squad at the end of the summer. All season long he has been working and patiently waiting to get his opportunity. Well that moment arrived this past weekend when he was told he was getting called…
