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…

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…
Early Sunday morning as tailgates began firing up at Gillette Stadium ahead of the Bills game, a bit of a bombshell broke. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Bill Belichick – who’s job security has been in question the last few weeks – actually signed a ‘lucrative, multi-year’ contract in the offseason. “Sources say Bill Belichick during the offseason quietly agreed to. lucrative, multi-year new contract,” he said during NFL…
At some point, Mac Jones isn’t going to be the quarterback of the New England Patriots. The only question is, does that time come this season, or after 2023? Time is ticking to decide whether the team wants to pick up his fifth-year option and given the fact that the Pats are 1-5, the future doesn’t look to bright for No. 10. Still, despite all the negativity and mounting losses,…
As Bill O’Brien stood in one of the large rooms inside the Patriots’ media work area on Tuesday morning, he was asked to give a ‘state of the offense’ from his perspective. After all, upon coming back, O’Brien was supposed to be the one that saved everything after last year’s debacle with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. Well, six weeks in, the offense is somehow worse than it was a…
After getting a game under his belt last Sunday in Vegas, is Tyquan Thornton ready to help the Patriots’ struggling offense? He may not have a choice. With the team desperate for any time of speed element, Thornton is pretty much the only guy who can provide it right now. Demario Douglas did return to practice on Tuesday so he could too, while Kayshon Boutte continues to be a mystery….
Week seven featured five programs locally on bye weeks. We also saw a thrilling finish at Brown and a couple of blowouts including Harvard blowing out Howard and UMass getting blown out at Penn State. Here is Top 16 Poll after Week 7. 1. Harvard (5-0)- Crimson cruise past Howard. Next up is a trip to New Jersey to take on Princeton, 2. Holy Cross (4-2)- Crusaders had a bye…
Image courtesy of AP Photo/John Locher When you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did. While the Patriots’ defense battled again, the offense failed to hold its end of the bargain in a familiar theme, leading to an ugly 21-17 loss. In an unimaginable scenario during any of the last 20+ years, the Patriots are now 1-5 and have more questions than answers at every level of the organization….
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones could be on a “short leash” in today’s game against the Raiders. Jones has been benched each of the last two games against the Cowboys and Saints and could be sat down much earlier today if he struggles early according to Rapoport. Rapoport also reported that both Bailey Zappe and Will Grier got more reps with the first team offense…
