The Patriots proved last night that they truly are a game plan specific team. Using a vanilla, run heavy offensive game plan and a defense designed to get consistent pressure on Matt Ryan, the Patriots rolled to a 25-0 win over the Falcons last night. It wasn’t pretty but style points do not matter in the NFL. Wins do and the Patriots dominated the Falcons last night en route to…
Image courtesy of AP/Danny Karnik The Patriots beat the Falcons 25-0 on Thursday night to push their winning streak to five games and their overall record to 7-4. What once looked like a potential .500 season after some tough September losses now looks like a season that won’t end until at least late January. There have been many reasons for New England’s resurgence, but the most underrated has been their…

The defense has given up a total of 1,273 yards during a five game winning streak. It seems like a big number, but it’s actually an average of just 254.6 yards per game. The Patriots manhandled the Falcons on Thursday night and despite the…

After a dismantling of a good Cleveland Browns team, they take on a foe that they have some good memories with, the Atlanta Falcons. This is a primetime game for the Patriots who are looking to solidify their contender status in the AFC. Lets look…

After all, the Ravens will forever be hated in these parts for kicking off Deflategate and despite Judon’s fairly well known reputation for being an impact guy on the field, surely that Ravens stench would infect the locker room at Gillette. Instead, it’s been…
The Patriots travel to Atlanta this week for Thursday Night Football. Atlanta enters the game at 4-5 and are coming off a blowout loss to Dallas. The Falcons have had their moments this season but they have also been very inconsistent. They are a tough team to play against because you don’t know which team will show up. They pose match up problems across the board. The Patriots lead the…
Image courtesy of yahoo.com It took tight end Hunter Henry a while to get acclimated to the Patriots offense but the free agent acquisition is finally starting to get comfortable in the system and it shows with how much he is producing of late. Henry has caught seven touchdown passes in the Patriots last seven games. He has emerged as Mac Jones go to guy in the red zone. Henry…
Photo courtesy of Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots have won four in a row and yesterday’s demolition of the Cleveland Browns is proof that they are a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC. It might be a little too early to call them a Super Bowl contender but that could change in the coming weeks if they were to beat Atlanta, Tennessee and Buffalo. It took a while for…
FOXBOROUGH – On a day where there were military members sworn in on the field before the game and a flyover followed the national anthem, the Patriots made sure they put on a show for all those that fight for our freedom. New England scored 45 unanswered points and hammered the Browns 45-7 for the team’s fourth straight win. In the last two home games against the Jets and Browns,…
The Cleveland Browns invade Gillette Stadium today for a showdown with the Patriots. Both teams are currently 5-4 so there are major ramifications for both teams in this one. The winner would have a much clearer path to the playoffs. Today will be the Patriots 1,000th game as a franchise. It will also be the 26th meeting between the Patriots and the Browns. Cleveland leads the all-time series with a…
