FOXBOROUGH – So, I know. At first glance, you’re probably saying ‘what?!’ when reading the title. Don’t get me wrong. The final drive is inexcusable, especially when you consider Indianapolis went 4-4 on ‘gotta have it’ plays to extend the game. But, I actually didn’t think the defense was all that bad on Sunday. Is Anthony Richardson Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen? Of course not, but New England has struggled…

New England led by one with a little over five minutes left in a matchup of two mediocre-at-best teams on Sunday. The Colts proceeded to put together a 19-play march spanning 80 yards in just over five minutes. Anthony Richardson hit Alec Pierce for a two-yard touchdown on 4th-&-goal with the game on…

The Patriots host a familiar opponent today when the Indianapolis Colts come to Foxboro. The two teams are facing off for the fourth straight season so there is a lot of familiarity between them.  The Colts won last season’s meeting in Germany, 10-6 in one of the worst losses in recent Patriots history.  New England will look to avenge that loss today.

If there was ever going to be a ‘rookie wall’ for younger players on the Patriots, it’s this season. Sitting at 3-9 and clearly limping to the finish line, most of the rookies on the Patriots will have had their seasons winding down by this point or within the next couple of weeks as college players just 10 or 11 months ago. Even those that could be on teams making…

In a bit of a surprise on Monday around 4:00 p.m., the NFL announced the reinstatement of Jabrill Peppers from the Commissioner Exempt List. This means that Peppers – who as of this past Friday had a jury trial date set for January 22nd – can participate in team activities, including practices and games. It remains to be seen whether the Patriots will welcome him back when the team practices…

Image courtesy of The South Florida Sun Sentinel  This was about much more than Miami being a house of horrors for the New England franchise. This was another embarrassing display of poor coaching and little-to-no execution as the Dolphins hammered the Patriots 34-15 in Florida on Sunday. New England had six pre-snap penalties and 10 total for 75 yards while Drake Maye also committed two more turnovers. The Pats were…
