Patriots: Patriots Need to Throw Deep to Win on Monday Night
In a now famous clip, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones boiled over on the sidelines against the Bills, extolling his coaches and teammates to push the ball down the field more because the quick passing game “sucks”. On Monday against Arizona, the Patriots will have the perfect opportunity to grant Jones his wish. The Cardinals come into the game at 4-8, losers of four out of their last five. In that…
Patriots: Despite lack of results, Belichick still backing offensive system
For a little while on Tuesday morning, Bill Belichick was in a good mood, smiling during his press conference and giving thoughtful answers during his first press conference of the week. By the end of it, the media workroom at Gillette Stadium was pretty tense as Belichick answered questions and defended the offensive system, staff and play calling that has been under so much scrutiny this season. “We’re not going…
Patriots: Marcus Jones A Lone Bright Spot in Loss to Bills
Photo by Billie Weiss/Getty Images The Patriots did not have much to smile about after Thursday night’s loss to the Bills, but one bright spot is the play of do-it-all rookie Marcus Jones.

Patriots: Loss to Bills reaffirms that the Patriots are a middle of the pack team

Patriots: Offensive ineptitude continues; Bills beat Pats again
FOXBOROUGH – It’s official. The Buffalo Bills own the New England Patriots. For 20+ years, fans could easily dismiss any threat from the lowly, laughing stock franchise, but not anymore. Thursday night’s primetime matchup wasn’t as ugly as the playoff game a year ago, but it wasn’t much better as New England fell 24-10 to its division rivals.

Patriots Scouting Report: Run fits the key in slowing down Allen
The Patriots issues with stopping running or athletic quarterbacks are well documented. Both Lamar Jackson and Justin Fields had big performances against the Patriots this season.

Gap Sound: Run fits are everything against an athletic quarterback. The Patriots have to make sure…
