There will be no excuses for Patriots players not to be in the building on Friday morning while the snow flies around New England. No “my car wouldn’t start” will be accepted from anyone. Bill Belichick gave his team “the snow speech” on Thursday. No one wants to be That Guy. “Just talking about getting ready for the snow, I live in an apartment complex right now so I’m sure…
Photo: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Sunday’s game in Miami isn’t a revenge game or a tune-up game for the postseason, it’s an opportunity to get better. No more, no less. When the Bills and Jets kickoff simultaneously with the Pats and Dolphins at 4:25, New England won’t know whether the AFC East title is on the line or not until things start to unfold in Orchard Park, which means the Patriots…
Kristian Wilkerson has worked hard to get his opportunity. It hasn’t always been easy but after a strong training camp in which he caught the coaching staff’s attention, Wilkerson was signed to the practice squad at the end of the summer. All season long he has been working and patiently waiting to get his opportunity. Well that moment arrived this past weekend when he was told he was getting called…
(AP Photo/Steven Senne) The Patriots finally achieved the offensive balance they have been striving for the past three weeks. It only took playing the Jacksonville Jaguars to do it but the Patriots finally put together a complete performance yesterday. They ran the ball well, they threw the ball well and they took care of the ball. In fact, the Patriots were so good on offense yesterday that they had a…
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots demolished the Jaguars, 50-10, on Sunday to improve their record to 10-6 and clinch a playoff spot. The Jaguars are one of the worst teams in the NFL and the Patriots did exactly what they were supposed to do; dominate for 60 minutes. There are several things that make a football team good and a there is a big difference between good and…
FOXBOROUGH – Back in 2018, the Patriots blew out the Jets on December 30th and everyone sort of dismissed it. Later on after the Super Bowl run, players admitted just how important that type of “get right” game was. So, when the hapless Jaguars visited Gillette Stadium Sunday afternoon for what could possibly be the last Patriots home game of the year, another day like that one in 2018 was…
The 2-13 Jacksonville Jaguars visit Gillette Stadium today. It has been a tumultuous season to say the least in Jacksonville with the firing of Urban Meyer and another lost season. The Patriots and Jaguars have a lengthy history, particularly in the playoffs. The two teams are meeting for the first time since the 2018 season when the Jaguars upset the Patriots 31-20 in Jacksonville. The Patriots are 7-1 against Jacksonville…

The Jaguars come in off of a loss to the Jets last weekend and the Patriots come off a demoralizing loss to the division rival Bills that likely cost them the division. Lets get started. Jaguars @…
The Patriots have signed veteran strong safety Adrian Phillips to a three year, $12.75 million dollar extension. The deal has a max value of $14.25M with $7.25 million guaranteed Phillips signed with the Patriots as a free agent in the spring of 2020. In his two years with the team, Phillips has emerged as an integral part of the defense and is one of the team’s best defensive players. The…

Stefon Diggs was supposed to get held in check by JC Jackson, especially after Jackson was talking about naming an island for himself akin to Revis Island back in the day. Instead, McKenzie had 11 catches for 125…
