The Patriots host Kliff Kingsbury and the Arizona Cardinals this week. Kingsbury has ties to the Patriots. The team drafted Kingsbury out of Texas Tech in the 6th round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Kingsbury played for Mike Leach and is a disciple of the Air Raid Offense. Leach and Hal Humme developed the system coaching together at Iowa Wesleyan, Valdosta State and Kentucky. Kingsbury has now brought the system…

Patriots: Houston We Have A Problem – Watson dominates, Pats fall to 4-6

AP/Eric Christian Smith Okay, so, forget what we said last week. Following an impressive performance against Baltimore, I wrote that any Bill Belichick coached team should never be counted out. Well, the Texans shut that down real quick. Deshaun Watson single-handily destroyed the Patriot defense (380 total yards) and the New England offense wasted a chance to force overtime on the last possession of the game, ultimately falling 27-20 in…

The Patriots will travel to Houston on Sunday to take on the 2-7 Texans. Houston is an organization in transition after head coach and defacto general manager Bill O’Brien was fired earlier this season. Former Patriots assistant coach Romeo Crennel took over for O’Brien on an interim basis. The Texans have played better under Crennel but they are still losing games. Schematically, when I look at the Texans, they run…

Jim Davis/Boston Globe Well, well, well, we have a winning streak. Ok, it’s not a big winning streak, but according to “Major League” Lou Brown once said two games is a winning streak, so we’ll take it. Here’s another week of what stood out to us from BB’s weekly interview with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria: Ordway opened up the interview asking Belichick how important it was for the Patriots to…

Patriots: Pats defense and the weather smother Ravens in stunning 23-17 upset

We all saw this one coming, right? The Patriots were rightful 6.5-point underdogs at home heading into their matchup against Baltimore on Sunday night. The entire country assumed that the Ravens would roll as the Patriots’ transition into mediocrity continues. Instead, the football gods – or maybe Bill Belichick – brought a monsoon to Gillette Stadium for the majority of the game on Sunday night with howling winds and sideways…

Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF interview on WEEI

We’re taking a different approach this week. After arguably the interview of the year so far last week following the Buffalo loss, Bill Belichick’s weekly appearance with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria was another all-timer for awkward silence on Tuesday. More importantly, it was another fantastic segment where Bill opened up a bit more than he normally would. In fairness – as Ordway pointed out to start the interview – a…

POOL/Getty Another week, another loss for the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. This is a tough place to play and coach in when you’re winning, but when you’re 2-5 after being yearly Super Bowl contenders for the last 20 years, the sky is obviously falling and everyone deserves to be cut and or traded. Hell, some people even want Belichick fired already. So, with that in mind, here’s what…

Patriots: The Patriots can’t be sellers just to sell. The right deals have to come along

The Patriots 24-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday prompted pundits and fans alike to declare that the season is over and that it is time to ship away any valuable commodities on the roster. In theory, it makes sense. See what you can get for a Stephon Gilmore and Joe Thuney, your two most valuable pieces and trade them. In reality, it is not that easy. Any trade the…

Patriots: Cam Newton fumbles game away, Pats lose to Bills 24-21

As ugly as it looked on Sunday, the Patriots still had a chance to rip the hearts out of Buffalo Bills fans everywhere. Entering the season-altering game in a damp, cold and raw Orchard Park, New England was 35-5 against the Bills since 2000. Buffalo led by three with 4:06 remaining, but the Patriots took over at their own 21-yard line with a chance to put together a game-winning drive…
