Lost in all of the hype surrounding Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro is also the return of old friend Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski retired after the 2018 season and was out of the game in 2019. When Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last spring, he coaxed Gronkowski out of retirement and the Patriots ended up trading Gronkowski to the Buccaneers. After a slow start last season, Gronkowski was force…

Have you made a decision yet, Patriots fans? For those lucky enough to have a ticket to Sunday’s monumental Tom Brady return, there is a legitimate choice to be made. Cheer for Brady like he still plays for your home team, or boo the hell out of him and hope Matt Judon, Christian Barmore and Dont’a Hightower knock him on his ass. There are very few (like myself) who will…

Patriots: The Patriots know that the key to getting to Brady is inside pressure

For years we have been told that the key to getting to Tom Brady is inside pressure. It is all about throwing him off of his spot. That theory will be tested this week when Brady and the Buccaneers visit Foxboro. Other teams have taken that approach to dealing with Brady in the past but it hasn’t exactly worked. Teams that have running quarterbacks can usually beat inside pressure by…

The Patriots were supposed to…

The Patriots played poorly in all three phases of the game in an ugly 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Offensively, the Patriots mustered only 13 points as rookie quarterback Mac Jones (30-51 270 yds, 1TD) was under siege all afternoon.
