The Patriots lack of a playmaker was once again evident in Sunday’s 15-10 win over the Jets. New England had several opportunities to blow the game open but the lack of a skill player who can stretch the field and make defenders miss in space hindered the offense once again. Having to drive the hall on every possession is hard. You need to mix in short drives that are the…
Alright, through two weeks of picks John is 15-7 and both Adam and Stone are 13-9. John and Adam went 8-3 last week while Stone was 7-4.

If you listened to Mac Jones David Andrews and Hunter Henry after Sunday night’s game, you would think that there is a lack of commitment from some of the Patriots players. None of the players came out and said it outright, but if you read between the lines, it could an issue for the Patriots. When Jones was asked what has to happen for things to change, he gave the…
If the Patriots want to slow down the vaunted Philadelphia Eagles defensive line, they are going to have to do it by getting the ball out of Mac Jones hands quickly. Three-step pass plays, quick five-step passes, RPO’s and perimeter screens are all on the menu as Bill O’Brien and the offensive staff try to find ways to slow down one of the best defensive fronts in the league while…

Bill Belichick made his weekly appearance on the Greg Hill Morning Show early this morning and he was asked about his favorite Tom Brady moments. Belichick gave a good, succinct answer that proves like us, he appreciated Brady and what he meant to the Patriots and the region. “Well, there are six of them that come to mind. Can’t say enough about Tom – what he’s meant to this organization,…
The Patriots have signed former Eagles and Vikings receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad. The 2020 first round pick famously went one pick before Justin Jefferson. A speedster from TCU, Reagor was supposed to be a guy who can take the top off of defenses and make big plays but he never materialized into that type of player. Instead, he has been a depth receiver and kick returner thus…
