The numbers don’t lie. The Patriots offense is historically bad thus far

October 9, 2023

If you thought the Patriots offense was bad last season, it is even worse this season thus far.  The numbers do not lie. The Patriots are putrid on offense right now and judging by their performance the past two weeks, it doesn’t appear to be getting better. The raw numbers do not lie. This where the Patriots rank in the NFL in these categories.  Points per game: 32nd Yards per…

Bellichick needs to be careful about ‘check out’ factor on defense

October 9, 2023

Image courtesy of Yahoo Sports Following another historically bad loss at home on Sunday, the Patriots locker room sounded like a funeral home during a wake. A few guys were willing to face a hoard of media cameras and reporters and answer questions. A few of them chatted with a reporter or two for a few minutes, but most sat quietly at their lockers – David Andrews in particular spent…

Saints 34, Patriots 0 – Another embarrassing performance for Pats in home blowout loss

October 8, 2023

Image courtesy if Michael Dwyer/AP Photo FOXBOROUGH – What’s lower than rock bottom? After a putrid performance in Dallas last weekend, the Patriots somehow one-upped themselves at home on Sunday, getting blown out by the Saints 34-0.

Belichick squashes idea that Zappe could start this Sunday

October 2, 2023

As expected, the Bailey Zappe potential starter questions came up during Bill Belichick’s usual Monday morning press conference after the embarrassing loss in Dallas. While it’s a fair question given how poorly Mac Jones played with three turnovers, Belichick quickly squashed the idea – for now. “I doubt anything would change significantly,” he said. “But, we’ll talk about that. I don’t know. We haven’t gotten to that point yet.” Belichick…

Mac was abysmal but he is still the best option at quarterback for the Patriots

October 1, 2023

Mac Jones had arguably the worst performance of his Patriots career in Sunday’s 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. He threw two interceptions including a pick six and he fumbled on a strip sack that ended being a ten yard scoop and score. Jones finished 12-of-21 for 150 yards on the day. He was flat out bad. Perhaps the worst thing about Jones performance today was that he seemingly quit. You…

The defense gave up just two touchdowns, but Mac Jones turned the ball over three times and was pulled for Bailey Zappe in the third quarter. New England is now 1-3 again and the questions will certainly start to swirl regarding both…

September 27, 2023

But, on Wednesday, Belichick didn’t just give an opening statement on the Cowboys, he gave a 5:03 break down of why Dallas presents so many problems. Perhaps Bill was just sort of talking the opponent up a bit, but it’s probably more of him knowing just how good…

Patriots 15, Jets 10 – Gritty not pretty; Pats grind out much-needed 1st win of the season

September 24, 2023

Image courtesy of Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – We knew it wasn’t going to pretty, and boy, it wasn’t. The Patriots held the Jets to less than 100 yards of total offense through much of the game (171 total) and made Zach Wilson look as bad as he ever has en route to a desperately needed 15-10 victory on a miserable afternoon in New Jersey. The Patriots offense…

Pats still confident heading into ‘Jets Week’

September 20, 2023

“It’s Jets Week.” That’s how Bill Belichick started his Wednesday morning press conference before getting into the challenges ‘Gang Green’ will present on Sunday afternoon in New Jersey.
