Featured image via Omar Rawlings/Getty Images Follow me on twitter: @zcarey13 It is finally here! A year after their first losing season in 20 years, the Patriots retooled and reloaded. This team looks very, very different from the last time the Patriots were in the playoffs, but they are hungry. And one thing has stayed consistent. Bill. Belichick. The greatest coach of all time provides stability and a high floor…

Patriots: In need of a “get right” game, Pats throttle Jags by 40 & clinch playoff spot

FOXBOROUGH – Back in 2018, the Patriots blew out the Jets on December 30th and everyone sort of dismissed it. Later on after the Super Bowl run, players admitted just how important that type of “get right” game was. So, when the hapless Jaguars visited Gillette Stadium Sunday afternoon for what could possibly be the last Patriots home game of the year, another day like that one in 2018 was…

FOXBOROUGH – A year ago at this time, the Patriots were playing for pride, and even that was iffy. A day after Christmas this season, the stakes could not have been higher at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. With the Bills visiting for a much-anticipated rematch of the Monday night hurricane game a few weeks ago, there was no Christmas spirit on the field, just pure hatred with the AFC East…

Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images After putting up some impressive numbers and scoring totals during a six-game win streak, all the talk surrounding the huge Monday night matchup in Buffalo was about Mac Jones and whether or not he could handle the elements and pressure of his first Monday night game. So naturally, Bill Belichick decided the best option with 45-50 MPH wind gusts was to run the ball 46 times,…

The storylines heading into the massive Patriots and Bills matchup on Monday Night Football are seemingly endless, but there’s really only one thing fans in New England want to know at the end of the night. Can Mac Jones handle the NFL’s biggest stage in a difficult environment? 352 days ago, December 19, 2020, Jones and Alabama put up 52 points against Florida in the SEC title game. Now, almost…

PHOTO: Brynn Anderson/AP Photos Since giving up 567 yards to the Cowboys and falling two games below .500, the Patriots have become a completely different team. The defense has given up a total of 1,273 yards during a five game winning streak. It seems like a big number, but it’s actually an average of just 254.6 yards per game. The Patriots manhandled the Falcons on Thursday night and despite the…

Patriots: Pats get first home win of the year, throttling the Jets 54-13

FOXBOROUGH – It’s not every year that a Week 7 game against the lowly Jets is a “must win” scenario for the Patriots, but that’s exactly what we had at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With a real possibility that New England would be tied for last place if they lost to New York, the Patriots delivered the performance we’ve all been waiting for, manhandling the Jets 54-13. New England…

Patriots: Defense gives up 567 yards of total offense in 35-29 OT loss to Dallas

Photo: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Sunday’s regular season home game against the Cowboys may have been one of the most entertaining games at Gillette Stadium in quite some time, but in the end, it will go down in history as a historically bad performance for the defense. Sure, the unit made some huge stops – particularly inside the red zone and even in goal-to-go situations – but it also gave up…
