Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots beat the Jets 30-27 on a 51-yard Nick Folk field goal as time expired on Monday night, but was it even worth it? New England (3-5) was in a dog fight against the now 0-9 Jets, and with the AFC East all but out of reach as Buffalo sits at 7-2, Monday night’s game was a cruel reminder of where this organization is at…

The Patriots will face the Jets this week on Monday Night Football. The two long time rivals are familiar with each other but the Jets have had a lot of turnover over the course of the last 20 years. The Patriots of course have been guided by Bill Belichick during that time span. Adam Gase is the current head coach for the Jets and his tenure thus far has been…
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots have made a trade. New England traded a seventh round pick to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday for wide receiver Isaiah Ford. Ford was drafted by the Dolphins in the seventh round in 2016. At 6-2 194, Ford gives the Patriots some much needed size at receiver. He is a good route runner who can get open on short and underneath routes and competes…
POOL/Getty Another week, another loss for the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. This is a tough place to play and coach in when you’re winning, but when you’re 2-5 after being yearly Super Bowl contenders for the last 20 years, the sky is obviously falling and everyone deserves to be cut and or traded. Hell, some people even want Belichick fired already. So, with that in mind, here’s what…
The Patriots 24-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday prompted pundits and fans alike to declare that the season is over and that it is time to ship away any valuable commodities on the roster. In theory, it makes sense. See what you can get for a Stephon Gilmore and Joe Thuney, your two most valuable pieces and trade them. In reality, it is not that easy. Any trade the…
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…
Line: Bills -4.5 Opening Kickoff: The Bills will look to start the process of dethroning the Patriots atop the AFC East. New England has absolutely dominated Buffalo through the years, even before the Belichick era in New England. Last season, the Patriots earned their 27th series sweep of Buffalo with a 16-10 win at Buffalo and a 24-17 home win. It was the third straight year the Patriots swept the…
The Patriots travel to Buffalo on Sunday to face a Bills team that has been chomping at the bit for a chance to dethrone the Patriots atop the AFC East. Sean McDermott has done a nice job turning the Bills around and he has done it with a veteran coaching staff headlined by old friend Brian Daboll at offensive coordinator and Leslie Frazier at defensive coordinator. Daboll of course is…
Patriots coach Bill Belichick acknowledged in an interview with Bill Lekas and Charlie Weis on Sirius XM NFL Radio that the Patriots are young and that due to their cap situation, they have not been able to add quality depth. “We’re playing more young players than we’ve played in the past (for a) combination of reasons. We were pretty heavily invested in our team in the past few years. From…
