AP Photo/Chris Szagola It has been a tumultuous tenure for Cam Newton in New England. However for the first in his Patriots career last night, Newton finally looked like the quarterback the Patriots were hoping for when they signed him last summer. Now this does come with the standard pre-season disclaimer. “It was against their second and third string guys” Despite that, it doesn’t mean that Newton’s performance last night…

For everyone like me who would rather watch a 38-35 game over a 24-21 game, we may be out of luck when watching the Patriots this season. I’m okay with it too if this is what it’s going to look like for the next six months or so. The Patriots offensive line and running backs were completely dominant on Thursday night in a 35-0 preseason win over Philadelphia. Now, in…

AP Photo/Chris Szagola) As far as preseason games go, this one was about as perfect as it gets.

The defense held Philadelphia to just 163 yards of total offense while Mac Jones (146 yards) and Cam Newton (103 yards,…

It’s rare that preseason games have a lot of meaning behind them, but Thursday night is a big one for the New England Patriots. There’s obviously still the quarterback competition, but with only one preseason game left until Miami preparation starts, the game against Philadelphia may be the most competitive, real football action the Pats get until that Miami game. The Giants are here for joint practices next week before…

Last week, in preseason game number one against the Washington Football Team, you saw a whole lot of new faces in a Patriots uniform. You had rookies making an impact on the offensive side of the ball right out of the gate in 1st round pick QB Mac Jones (13-for-19, 87 yds) & 4th round pick RB Rhamondre Stevenson (10 car, 127 yds, TD). And then you had a great…

Image courtesy of Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Patriots released tight end Troy Fumagalli with an injury settlement yesterday ending speculation that he could make the final 53 man roster. Fumagalli got off to a strong start the first two weeks of camp but tailed off after that and was fairly unimpressive in the limited snaps he got last Thursday night against Washington. At 6-6 248, Fumagalli…

The Patriots had an up snd down day in the first of two joint practices with the Eagles. There were a few highlights but there were a lot of lowlights we well.
