The Patriots travel to Seattle in Week 2 to take on Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. The Seahawks are one of the top teams in the NFC and this was especially evident after they beat the Falcons 38-25. Offensively, Seattle racked up 406 yards of total offense in the win. Wilson was especially impressive completing 31 of 35 passes for 322 yards and 4 touchdown…
By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 Last week we decided that Bill Belichick’s weekly “Patriots Monday” interview with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria would be a topic of discussion for us all season long. Glenn Ordway has been perfecting the interview game for decades now. Meanwhile, as a former player, Christian Fauria sometimes has the ability to get some more thoughtfulness out of Bill compared to most media members. It’s clear that Bill…

The Patriots as expected tailored the offense to Cam Newton’s skill set. Newton carried the ball 15 times for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also threw for 155 yards. He finished with 230 yards of total…

The Cam Newton Era in New England opened with a 21-11 win at a silent Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It was certainly a changing of the times, as the running game was the story. Newton carried the ball 15 times himself for…
Line: Patriots -7 Key players for Miami: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, WR Devonte Parker, RB Jordan Howard, TE Mike Gesicki, LB’s Kyle Van Noy, Elandon Roberts, DE Christian Wilkins Opening kickoff: Old friend Brian Flores and his revamped Miami Dolphins visit Gillette Stadium to kick off the 2020 season. Miami beat the Patriots at Gillette to end last season and it cost them a first round bye. A lot has changed…
When the Patriots signed Cam Newton in July, many of us wondered how it would work in New England? The flamboyant Newton and the stoic Bill Belichick wasn’t exactly a match made in heaven. Fast forward to today and the two parties couldn’t be happier that they have joined forces. At least that is what they tell us. For Newton; a former league MVP, this is an opportunity to turn…
The Patriots kick off the 2020 season on Sunday with a visit from old friend Brian Flores and the Miami Dolphins. Miami closed out the 2019 season beating the Patriots at Gillette and costing them a first round bye in the process. Despite playing well down the down stretch last season, Flores fired offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea and brought in Chan Gailey for a second tour of duty as Dolphins…
By Kevin J. Stone/@kstone06 For years now, WEEI has always hosted a ‘Patriots Monday’, interviewing players and coaches throughout the day. The afternoon drive show OMF (Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria) is lucky enough to have Bill Belichick on during the season, and Monday evening provided another glimpse into the mind of BB as he gets set for Opening Day against Miami. While his tone will literally never…
Image courtesy of You Tube Leave it up to Bill Belichick to cut two kickers in one cutdown day. That was the highlight of today’s cuts for the Patriots. Both veteran Nick Folk and rookie Justin Rohrwasser were cut. Both could also end up back with the team. Rohrwasser on the practice squad and Folk could be re-signed because he doesn’t have to clear waivers. The Patriots cut the following…
It’s that time of year where all of us in the media around here try to get into Bill Belichick’s head when it comes to who will make the final roster. It is usually a meaningless venture but one worth undertaking nonetheless. So, without further ado. Here is my projected 53 man roster for the Patriots. Offense Quarterbacks (3) Cam Newton Brian Hoyer Jarrett Stidham Running Backs (5) Sony Michel…
