With rumors swirling about his future, Belichick locked in on Kansas City

After a report from Tome E. Curran on NBC Sports Boston on Tuesday night where he said he had heard the decision on Belichick’s future had been made after the ugly loss to the Colts in Germany, Belichick was asked early…

Image courtesy of Getty Images It may be a hard pill to swallow Patriots fans, but Mike Tomlin has done everything Bill Belichick couldn’t do after Tom Brady left. Tomlin – who has never had a losing season in his 17 years as as the head coach of the Steelers – has been able to keep Pittsburgh afloat and regularly in the hunt after Ben Roethlisberger departed. The Steelers’ franchise…

The present day Patriots have reverted back to the 1992 Patriots

FOXBOROUGH- The Patriots wore their throwback uniforms on Sunday against the Chargers and it brought me back to my childhood. I was a senior in high school again. Pat the Patriot uniforms, bad quarterback play, a bad offense, an half empty stadium and a team that is currently 2-10. It felt like 1992 all over again. The Patriots are the worst team in the NFL. Yes. Worse than the Carolina…

Image courtesy of Maddie Meyer/Getty Images FOXBOROUGH – Another week, another new low. New England was shut out at home by a bad Chargers team 6-0 in a monsoon on Sunday afternoon. The loss dropped the free-falling Pats to 2-10 with a short week coming up and the Steelers on tap this Thursday night in Pittsburgh. This is the first time the Patriots have been shut out at home twice…

Bill O’Brien takes blame for poor offense, defends Bill Belichick

The Pats-Giants game last weekend may have set football back about 40 years and certainly won’t be going on any clinic highlight reels any time soon. New England’s offense is worse than it was last year with Joe Judge and Matt Patricia running the show and it doesn’t seem like there’s an easy fix anytime soon. With a mediocre offensive line, a well below average group of receivers and no…

Giants 10, Patriots 7 – Another new low as Pats fall to 2-9

November 26, 2023

Image courtesy of Al Bello/Getty Images Stunningly, things are actually getting worse for the 2023 Patriots. Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe combined for 136 total passing yards and three interceptions in an even-uglier-than-expected 10-7 loss to the Giants in New Jersey on Sunday. New England is now 2-9 for the first time since 1992 and just the fifth time in franchise history. Even though New York (4-8) only had 10…

Mac is back and no one should be surprised that he is starting today

Apparently benching Mac Jones during a two minute situation in Germany did not spell the end of his Patriots career. According to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, Jones is expected to start today against the Giants in New York. NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry reported on Friday that Jones and Zappe split starter reps this past week but no one in the building knew who was going to start today….

The Patriots are in a tough spot with Mac Jones. Want to or not, they will have to play him

When it comes to Mac Jones, the Patriots are in a tough spot. Like it or not, they have to play him. Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien met with the media earlier this week and said that all three quarterbacks are getting first team reps at practice. Does that mean that Jones has been benched? Not necessarily. Jones can still get the bulk of the reps and be the starting…
