AP Photo/ Ashley Landis Are all the people that wanted this team to stick with Cam Newton and make a playoff push happy now? After last night’s putrid, disgusting, embarrassing 24-3 loss to the Rams, New England is now 6-7 and in all likelihood going to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Rams(9-4) held the Patriots to 220 yards of total offense and 10 first downs….

Patriots: Bill Belichick needs to get the memo. The Cam Newton era is over

December 11, 2020

Bill Belichick is a proud but stubborn man. It was never more evident than after last night when he responded to a question regarding Cam Newton’s status as the starting quarterback by saying “I am glad you asked that. Cam is our quarterback.” Cam is our quarterback? Really? After another abysmal performance and arguably the worse of his short Patriots career, Newton is still the starter? How? He completed 9…

The Patriots face the Rams tonight in a Super Bowl LIII rematch. While many of the names and faces have changed on both teams, many of the schemes remain the same. The Rams are still a heavy 11 and 12 personnel team on offense and defensively, they still play a 3-4 base despite a coordinator change in the off-season. Los Angeles is well coached and they do not beat themselves….

(Photo by Will Lester, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin/SCNG) Raise your hand if you thought the Patriots would beat the Chargers by 45 points on Sunday. Put your hand down. You’re lying. New England’s special teams unit had two touchdowns, the defense gave up just 258 total yards while forcing two turnovers and Cam Newton only threw for 69 yards in the 45-0 shellacking. Hell, even Jarret Stidham and N’Keal Harry…

If the Patriots want to have any shot of making the playoffs, then they need to win the next two games. It is that simple. New England is still “in the hunt” at 5-6 but they are currently tenth in the AFC. Given the fact that every other team in front of them has a .500 record or above, they essentially need to win out to clinch the seventh seed….

With WEEI in the midst of its “Giving Tuesday” fundraiser to help “K” cancer on Tuesday, we decided to hold off on the recap of Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF appearance until today. Ordway, Merloni and Fauria had a much happier coach on Monday than they’ve gotten in recent weeks, but there was still a few of those awkward silence Bill moments that this interview is now known for, but it…

Image courtesy of Billie Weiss/Getty Images Get used to it Patriots fans. Get used to the Patriots winning ugly games like they did yesterday against Arizona. Let’s face it. The Patriots are not good enough to win any other way. They lack the talent necessary to win games by two or more scores. This team is going to be in close games week in and week out. In order for…
