Losing Rob Gronkowski is a major league blow. Gronkowski was a shell of the player he has been throughout his career last season but at 6-6 265, he still possessed elite size and athleticism. The Patriots…
Patriots Draft: 10 wide receiver targets for the Patriots

Patriots: Breaking down the Patriots schedule
The Patriots 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday night. Here are a few thoughts the Patriots schedule this upcoming season. 1. Opening against the Steelers makes sense in that the two teams have a rivalry but I would have preferred Cleveland or Kansas City came to town for opening night and the raising of banner number six. 2. An early season trip to Miami (Week 2) is never a good…

Patriots: Schiano fiasco is just another issue in what has already been a long off season for the Patriots
The NFL Draft cannot get here fast enough. The Patriots off-season has been too long already and I am tired of it. Between Bob Kraft reportedly soliciting prostitutes in Florida, Rob Gronkowski retiring and Greg Schiano resigning, I am just about done with the Patriots. The Schiano resignation came out of left field but it is not a surprise given the fact that the Patriots routinely make news these days….
