As MIAA playoffs begin, Patriots players share their favorite high school football memories

November 3, 2023

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….

Pats players still motivated despite 2-6 record

November 1, 2023
0 comment

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…

Has Bill Belichick already started to lose control of personnel decisions?

November 1, 2023
0 comment

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…

Dolphins 31, Patriots 17 – Miami continues to be house of horrors as Pats fall to 2-6

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…

How different is Pats’ preparation playing an opponent twice in a month?

October 26, 2023
0 comment

On Thursday morning, I asked both Jahlani Tavai and Lawrence Guy how much harder – or easier – it might be preparing for a team when facing them for the second time in a month. The Pats will be playing the Dolphins Sunday, wrapping up the season series already just eight weeks into the regular season. Playing a divisional opponent always provides problems because of the familiarity, but twice in…

Consistency the word of the week for Jones & the Pats

October 25, 2023
0 comment

One is nice, two would be a whole lot better, especially in the division. After upsetting Buffalo last week, the Pats legitimately have a chance to continue turning what looked like an abysmal season around if they can match the same effort they put forth last week when they head down to Miami this weekend. The guy who needs another strong performance the most is Mac Jones, and he knows…

Image courtesy of Nancy Lane/Boston Herald In Week 2, the Patriots were a Cole Strange wild fumble recovery/first down away from possibly upsetting the Dolphins at home on a Sunday night. Now at 2-5 after a stunning win over the Bills, New England will travel to Miami this week to take on a Dolphins team that just got rolled by Philadelphia last Sunday. “Alright, I think everyone is pretty familiar…

Image courtesy of AP Photo/Michael Dwyer FOXBOROUGH – So, we all saw that coming, right? New England led Buffalo by 12 with 7:28 to go on Sunday, gave up 13 points to fall into a three-point hole, then got a game-winning, eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive from Mac Jones that ended with a one-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki in the final 12 seconds for a stunning 29-25 win. The Patriots…
