The Patriots travel to Buffalo on Sunday to face a Bills team that has been chomping at the bit for a chance to dethrone the Patriots atop the AFC East. Sean McDermott has done a nice job turning the Bills around and he has done it with a veteran coaching staff headlined by old friend Brian Daboll at offensive coordinator and Leslie Frazier at defensive coordinator. Daboll of course is…
Patriots coach Bill Belichick acknowledged in an interview with Bill Lekas and Charlie Weis on Sirius XM NFL Radio that the Patriots are young and that due to their cap situation, they have not been able to add quality depth. “We’re playing more young players than we’ve played in the past (for a) combination of reasons. We were pretty heavily invested in our team in the past few years. From…
In a rather stunning turn of events, Bill Belichick actually answered questions from Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria like a normal human being on Monday. After the embarrassment that was the 33-6 blowout on Sunday, it was just assumed that BB would be his usual ornery self when he met with the guys on Monday. That wasn’t really the case though as Bill gave some legitimately honest answers…
AP Photo/Steven Senne FOXBOROUGH — For some reason last week, the New England Patriots decided to put out an “all dynasty” team. Of course, whenever these teams of the decade or century come out, it signifies the end of an era. So, did the Patriots call their shot when they decided to release the all dynasty team? It sure as hell felt that way on Sunday. The Patriots no-showed in…
Let’s face it. The Patriots are a broken football team and Bill Belichick cannot fix it. I know that is hard to believe but there is nothing he can do. I cannot believe I am going to say it, but this team stinks. I can no longer drink the Belichick Kool-Aid. He cannot fix this train wreck he put together. The Patriots roster is subpar and it falls on him…
LINE: New England -3, O/U 44.5 OPENING KICKOFF: The New England Patriots host old friend Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers at Gillette Stadium this afternoon (4:25 P.M.) This is just the 13th time these two franchises are meeting during the regular season. San Francisco holds a 8-5 advantage, taking the last meeting on November 20, 2016 30-17 in California. Between 1971 and 1995, the 49ers dominated the Patriots,…
The Patriots host the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday in a game that features the greatest coach of all time in Bill Belichick and one of the best offensive coach’s in the NFL today in Kyle Shanahan. When you look at the 49ers, you see how they were influenced schematically. Offensively, the 49ers take after Mike Shanahan’s Denver Broncos teams. They want to run the football and be balanced as…
The Patriots are now under .500 through at least five games of the season for the first time since 2002. So, when Bill Belichick met with Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria for his weekly appearance on WEEI on Monday, it was sure to be all sunshine and rainbows, right? We got the good old sarcastic Bill back for a good chunk of this week, and credit to the…
This is what the rest of the country has had to watch for the last 20 years. If you were disgusted for the majority of Sunday afternoon’s 18-12 loss to the Broncos, welcome back to the real world Patriots fans. We all knew that things would be drastically different without Tom Brady. However, Sunday’s debacle of a game was the first time we truly saw what life after Brady –…
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images The Patriots lost an ugly game to the Denver Broncos today. A game that proved no matter how good a coach Bill Belichick is and how effective the system is, you cannot overcome a pandemic and a lack of talent. Thanks to COVID-19, the Patriots have barely practiced the past two weeks. Multiple players including Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore have landed on the COVID-19…
