Patriots: Defense shows glimpses of what could be, but it wasn’t good enough in opening loss to Miami

September 13, 2021

All preseason long, we’ve seen what type of chaos this defense could create. We saw it again at times on Sunday, but when the unit needed a stop the most in a 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Miami was able to do whatever they wanted. Matthew Judon and Josh Uche were as advertised, making big boy plays that made your jaw drop. On the flip side of that, the secondary…

Patriots fans suffered through the departure of Tom Brady last off season and then sat through a miserable 7-9 season in 2020. As a result, Bill Belichick loosened the purse strings this past off-season and decided to spend money. Boy did he ever. To the tune of $160 million dollars in contracts.

Everyone remembers the Jets game in 2001 as the game that changed the course of Patriots history. That day, of course, was when Drew Bledsoe was smoked on the sideline, forcing Tom Brady into action and the rest as they say is history. However, people often forget the emotional scene that took place before that game as Joe Andruzzi – a Patriots lineman at the time for those not old…

White’s mom is doing better now, but the grief…

Patriots: McDaniels, Brown believe Jones is the right guy for the job

If a rookie can gain the trust of Troy Brown, then he’s probably got the trust of the rest of his teammates. Both Troy Brown and Josh McDaniels spoke extremely highly of Mac Jones on Wednesday morning, a day after the news that Cam Newton was being released and Jones would be the starting quarterback rocked not only the football world but the sports world. Hell, channels 4, 5 and…
