Patriots: Bill Belichick has been here before. The only difference is, he doesn’t have a quarterback

December 30, 2020

Bill Belichick has been here before. He has rebuilt franchises before. He did it in Cleveland and he has done it here. The only difference now is, he doesn’t have a quarterback. I trust Belichick to turn this thing around and make the Patriots competitive again but it is going to be hard without a quarterback. The quarterback of the future is currently not in the Patriots building. If Belichick…

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

December 23, 2020

While there’s still the segment of the media who will forever worship the ground he walks on, there are guys…

For the first time in 11 years and only the second time in the last…

The lackluster effort leaves the Patriots at 6-8 with two games left against the Bills (next Monday night) and Jets. Just to make…
