Some may think this is the worst time possible for the Patriots to have to get on a plane Thursday and fly over to Germany while sitting at 2-7. Bill Belichick looks at it a bit differently. It seems as if there’s starting to be a bit of a ‘check out’ factor with some guys already and with the announcement on Wednesday morning that JC Jackson won’t be making the…

Washington dominated in all three phases for the majority of the game, but New England had a chance to tie or win the game with a last-minute drive until a ball ricocheted off of JuJu Smith-Schuster’s hands and into the waiting arms of a Commanders defender…
Courtesy of USATI The Patriots host the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium. It is a must win game for both teams if they want to salvage their season. The Patriots haven’t had many favorable match-ups this season but this is a game where they do. Let’s see if they take advantage of them. Here are five match-ups to watch in this game. David Andrews vs. Jonathan Allen: Andrews will have his…
The Patriots host the Washington Commanders today at Gillette Stadium. Like the Patriots, the Commanders have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball. On paper, Washington has a more talented roster but they do not always play up to their ability. The Patriots can take advantage of their inconsistency with a good plan and execution. Here are three offensive and defensive keys. 1. Get Douglas 20 touches: Quite frankly,…
With the MIAA playoffs in full swing this weekend, I thought it’d be a good time to get a bunch of Patriots players to talk about their favorite high school football memories, particularly in the postseason. After all, if not for people supporting them in the early stages of their careers, most pros wouldn’t be where they are today. High school football is really where dreams start to become a…
Bridget Condon still remembers what Friday nights at Kamitian Field in Holliston look, sound and feel like. Condon, a 2011 graduate of Holliston High School, also played field hockey and lacrosse and ran winter track as a Panther. Now, she’s one of the key on-air personalities at NFL Network, but she’s never forgotten where her love for sports and ultimately football started. First, it was a magical night at Fenway….
Image courtesy of Sports Illustrated The Patriots media work room was still packed on Wednesday morning with reporters looking to pick at the carcass that is the 2023 season right now. The coverage hasn’t diminished and the effort from the team inside the locker room isn’t going to either…at least for now. At 2-6, it’s hard to believe that players are still overly motivated when a playoff berth is basically…
For 20+ years, Bill Belichick has had final say over his roster. Presumably, that’s been the case this season too, including on trade deadline day Tuesday. The Patriots chose to stand pat and not part with any of their expiring contracts for draft picks, instead taking the George Costanza route ‘going down with the ship.’ But, has the change with Belichick’s full control of the roster already began? Fans have…
Image courtesy of The Palm Beach Post Well, it appears the Buffalo game was simply an anomaly. The Patriots defense gave up big plays on critical downs all day, the offense couldn’t capitalize opportunities and ultimately, the Pats lost 31-17 to Miami on Sunday afternoon. Miami out-gained New England 390-218, held the Patriots to 13 first downs and held the ball for over 35 minutes. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle…
