Photo: AJ Mast/AP With three games left in the regular season, do we know who this Patriots team is yet? With a somewhat jarring 27-17 loss in Indianapolis on Saturday night, New England not only had its seven-game winning streak snapped, but also lost a grasp on the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Patriots: Hunter Henry has been the perfect Patriot so far

December 18, 2021

Photo: Carmen Mandato/Getty Images Hunter Henry might just be one of those perfect Patriots. The free agent tight end had high expectations heaped upon him by the fans coming into this season and rightfully so after New England jumped at the chance to sign him and Jonnu Smith very early on this spring. For the first few weeks once getting healthy his performance was underwhelming. Then, Henry suddenly became Mac…

Patriots: Unlikely 1-2 punch of Stevenson & Bolden might be the difference against Colts on Saturday night

December 17, 2021

Saturday night could very well need to be the Rhamondre Stevenson and Brandon Bolden show if the Patriots are going to remain the top seed in the AFC.

December 14, 2021

Image courtesy of Colts.com The Patriots were on their bye during Week 14, but managed to continue their good fortunes when both the Ravens and Bills suffered losses.

While it’s always tough for Patriots fans to sit around and watch the rest of the league play instead of firing up those tailgates or hosting those Sunday get-togethers, it’s clear the break comes at a perfect time for the team. Damien Harris pulled up with what looked like a hamstring injury last Monday night and it’s nice that Mac gets a…

Patriots: Are the Pats legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Here’s three reasons why the answer is yes and three reasons why the answer is no

December 9, 2021

Okay, so none of us thought the Patriots would be in this position back in August, right? Sure, once Mac beat out Cam for the starting job and it was clear he was going to be the guy moving forward, a lot of people believed he’d have what it takes to help lead this team to something better than the 7-9 finish a year ago. But, no one could have…
