The Patriots proved last night that they truly are a game plan specific team. Using a vanilla, run heavy offensive game plan and a defense designed to get consistent pressure on Matt Ryan, the Patriots rolled to a 25-0 win over the Falcons last night. It wasn’t pretty but style points do not matter in the NFL. Wins do and the Patriots dominated the Falcons last night en route to…

PHOTO: Brynn Anderson/AP Photos Since giving up 567 yards to the Cowboys and falling two games below .500, the Patriots have become a completely different team.

Patriots: Matt Judon isn’t just making his teammates better, he’s making the defensive coaching staff better as well
PHOTO: Winslow Towson/AP Photos When Matt Judon got a boatload of money in the offseason, Patriots fans were skeptical of a former Raven joining the organization. After all, the Ravens will forever be hated in these parts for kicking off Deflategate and despite Judon’s fairly well known reputation for being an impact guy on the field, surely that Ravens stench would infect the locker room at Gillette.

With a 52-24 win that saw the Crusaders score 35 unanswered following a lightning delay that lasted over an hour, Bob Chesney, his staff and the players clinched a third straight Patriot League title, the first time the program had done that since winning back-to-back-to back league titles from…
Patriots: Get to know the Falcons
The Patriots travel to Atlanta this week for Thursday Night Football. Atlanta enters the game at 4-5 and are coming off a blowout loss to Dallas. The Falcons have had their moments this season but they have also been very inconsistent. They are a tough team to play against because you don’t know which team will show up. They pose match up problems across the board. The Patriots lead the…
