LEFT: AP/RIGHT: JIM DAVIS, BOSTON GLOBE Follow me on twitter @zcarey13 Buccaneers @ Patriots: October 3rd, 2021. 8:20 PM Line: Buccaneers -7; O/U 49 It’s finally here. Brady’s return to Foxborough and Belichick’s battle against his former QB is the biggest NFL storyline we’ve had in a very long time. Fans will be ready and who knows what kind of tribute or welcome Brady will get, but you have to…
Enjoy this one tonight Patriots fans, it’ll be a while until you see this type of atmosphere again. Primetime, Sunday night, all eyes on Gillette Stadium. It’s something fans got used to seeing four or five times a year when Tom Brady was the quarterback and 14-2 was almost a given before training camp even started. Those days are long gone now and when Brady packs up and leaves after…
In case you’ve forgotten, Mac Jones is also playing on Sunday night. Unfortunately, Tom Brady won’t be throwing passes for both teams. Basically a forgotten man in all of the Brady-Belichick hysteria this week, Jones is about to face his biggest challenge yet with the eyes of the world watching. Literally, The Today Show and NBC Nightly News are broadcasting from Gillette Stadium on Friday. The world is truly fixing…
For years we have been told that the key to getting to Tom Brady is inside pressure. It is all about throwing him off of his spot. That theory will be tested this week when Brady and the Buccaneers visit Foxboro. Other teams have taken that approach to dealing with Brady in the past but it hasn’t exactly worked. Teams that have running quarterbacks can usually beat inside pressure by…
PHOTO: Getty Images We all knew this week was coming eventually, but no one saw it coming under these circumstances. When Tom Brady makes his return to Gillette Stadium next Sunday night it will undoubtedly be the biggest regular season game in Boston sports history, the only problem is that a few of the storylines heading into the game are much different than anyone expected. The Patriots were supposed to…
The Patriots played poorly in all three phases of the game in an ugly 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Offensively, the Patriots mustered only 13 points as rookie quarterback Mac Jones (30-51 270 yds, 1TD) was under siege all afternoon. Jones was sacked twice and threw three interceptions including a pick six to Malcolm Jenkins. The offensive line, which was a strength last season has been…

The weather in Foxborough calls for 75 and sunny, perfect football weather. This is a seemingly even matchup and Vegas seems to agree. Lets break it down….
Tom Brady’s personal trainer/life coach/business partner/friend is looking for some attention. In an interview with the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian, the NFL’s version of Rasputin made some pointed comments about Bill Belichick and Tom Brady’s relationship. According to Guerrero, Belichick never evolved in terms of the way he treated Brady. “You can’t treat someone who is in their 40’s like they’re in their 20’s.” Guerrero continues. “As Tom got into…
Photo: NFL.com I’m sure Mac Jones had a bit of a different picture in his head when he dreamed of his first win in the NFL. It wasn’t a 300-yard, four-touchdown performance. It wasn’t a blowout. It wasn’t even all that entertaining, but New England’s 25-6 win over the Jets on Sunday gave Jones the first victory of his career. Jones finished with 186 yards and 22 completions on 30…
Photo: USA Today After costing his team a chance to win against Miami in Week 1, Damien Harris needed to have a bounce back week. Not only did he have an important bounce back performance in a 25-6 win over the Jets, he provided Patriots fans with one of the most impressive runs they’ve seen since the days of clock killin’ Corey Dillon. Harris finished the day with 62 yards…
