Patriots: Welcome to the Gunn show – Olszewski’s big day propels Pats to 45-0 win

December 7, 2020

(Photo by Will Lester, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin/SCNG) Raise your hand if you thought the Patriots would beat the Chargers by 45 points on Sunday. Put your hand down. You’re lying. New England’s special teams unit had two touchdowns, the defense gave up just 258 total yards while forcing two turnovers and Cam Newton only threw for 69 yards in the 45-0 shellacking. Hell, even Jarret Stidham and N’Keal Harry…

Patriots: Patriots survive ugly day, beat Arizona on Folk’s 50-yard field goal

November 30, 2020

Image courtesy of Elise Amendola/AP Photo Even when the Patriots win, it’s not fun anymore. I know I sound like a ‘spoiled young fan” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If 179 yards of total offense and nine completions from your starting quarterback on Sunday was somehow visually pleasing – or even worse gives you confidence that this team can still be competitive in January – no one…

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

November 22, 2020

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…

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

November 16, 2020

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

November 2, 2020

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…

Patriots: End of the line? 49ers blowout New England by 27 points. Patriots now 2-4

October 26, 2020

AP Photo/Steven Senne FOXBOROUGH — For some reason last week, the New England Patriots decided to put out an “all dynasty” team. Of course, whenever these teams of the decade or century come out, it signifies the end of an era. So, did the Patriots call their shot when they decided to release the all dynasty team? It sure as hell felt that way on Sunday. The Patriots no-showed in…

Patriots: Broncos hand Pats six-point loss on an ugly day at Gillette

October 19, 2020

This is what the rest of the country has had to watch for the last 20 years. If you were disgusted for the majority of Sunday afternoon’s 18-12 loss to the Broncos, welcome back to the real world Patriots fans.
