Photo: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Sunday’s regular season home game against the Cowboys may have been one of the most entertaining games at Gillette Stadium in quite some time, but in the end, it will go down in history as a historically bad performance for the defense. Sure, the unit made some huge stops – particularly inside the red zone and even in goal-to-go situations – but it also gave up…

Patriots: Get to know the Dallas Cowboys

October 17, 2021

The Dallas Cowboys were added as the 17th opponent for the Patriots this past off-season. Whether it’s been at home or on the road, the Patriots have owned the Cowboys in recent years. Bill Beluchick has never lost to Dallas as Patriots head coach. Of course that could end today as the 4-1 Cowboys are a far more talented team than what they’ve had in the past and Mike McCarthy…

Patriots: Another big test early in his career looms for Mac Jones on Sunday

PHOTO: AP/Frank Franklin II Despite the loss, I think just about everyone agrees that Mac Jones passed the Tampa Bay test in terms of being able to handle the bright lights and everything else that came with the game during that wild week. Now, Jones is facing a similar yet completely different type of test when the Cowboys visit for another national TV game and a 4:25 kick off on…

PHOTO: JUSTIN REX/AP It wasn’t very pretty, but 2-3 looks and sounds a hell of a lot better than 1-4. Mac Jones continued to show is toughness behind a patchwork offensive line who did its job admirably on Sunday and Nick Folk buried a 21-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to give New England a 25-22 win. The defense continued to struggle as Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills threw…

Patriots: Fundamentally flawed defense almost cost the Patriots against the Texans

October 11, 2021
0 comment

Photo courtesy of USA Today/Texans Wire In football definition terms, the Patriots won an ugly game today against the Texans. A game quite frankly that they should have lost. If it wasn’t for Texans coach David Culley losing his mind with clock management and poor special teams play, the Patriots would be 1-4. A big reason they could have lost would have been the play of their defense which was…

Patriots: Get to know the Houston Texans

The Patriots visit Houston today to take on the Texans. It is another reunion game for them as old friends Nick Caserio and Danny Amendola are now employed by the Texans. Houston of course is without Deshaun Watson who is inactive due to off season legal troubles. Rookie Davis Millis has been the starter and he has struggled. After an opening week win against Jacksonville, the Texans have lost three…

Patriots: Can a 1-3 team have a “trap” game?

October 10, 2021
0 comment

Yes. Yes it can. In years past, this “get right” scenario for the Patriots would have been an absolute layup. We would all be fully confident in Bill Belichick’s ability to mess with a rookie quarterback and Tom Brady would shred this lackluster Houston defense and all would be right with the world come Monday morning. Those days simply don’t exist anymore and Sunday’s meeting with the lowly Texans is…

Patriots: Four ways to protect a back up offensive line

October 10, 2021
0 comment

The Patriots offensive line is banged up with as many as four starters possibly being out today. So, how will the Patriots get their back lineman acclimated to playing today? Well it’s simple. They need to do these four things offensively to make their back lineman comfortable and engaged in the game. 1. Run the football: Seems simple but the best way to get an offensive line engaged early is…
