Patriots: Pats leave fans with more questions than answers in 27-17 loss to the Colts

December 19, 2021

Photo: AJ Mast/AP With three games left in the regular season, do we know who this Patriots team is yet? With a somewhat jarring 27-17 loss in Indianapolis on Saturday night, New England not only had its seven-game winning streak snapped, but also lost a grasp on the No. 1 seed in the AFC. For the first time since October, the Patriots looked like a team with an inexperienced rookie…

Patriots: Are the Pats legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Here’s three reasons why the answer is yes and three reasons why the answer is no

December 9, 2021

Okay, so none of us thought the Patriots would be in this position back in August, right? Sure, once Mac beat out Cam for the starting job and it was clear he was going to be the guy moving forward, a lot of people believed he’d have what it takes to help lead this team to something better than the 7-9 finish a year ago. But, no one could have…

Patriots: Bill Belichick comes up with another masterpiece as Pats beat Bills for seventh straight win

December 7, 2021

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.

Patriots: Pats get sixth straight win with 36-13 blowout over the Titans

November 28, 2021

FOXBOROUGH – In case you still weren’t sure about this 2021 Patriots team, Sunday’s 36-13 win over the Titans should be all the proof you need that they’re for real. Sure, the defense gave up 270 total yards rushing, but it also forced four turnovers and held the Titans – albeit with a depleted offense – to just 13 points. Meanwhile, Mac Jones threw for 300+ yards for the second…

Patriots: Defense leads the way to fifth straight win for suddenly surging Pats

November 19, 2021

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

October 17, 2021

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…

Patriots: Despite loss, Mac Jones continues to show he’s the right guy for New England

October 4, 2021

PHOTO: AP Photo/Elise Amendola I think we can all agree the Patriots have their quarterback of the future. Many fans were still on the fence about the first round draft pick, but Jones should have put any questions you may have had about his ability to lead to bed on Sunday night after going toe-to-toe with Tom Brady in the most hyped regular season game in North American sports history….

September 19, 2021

Photo: Elsa/Getty Images Mac Jones has his first of (hopefully) many NFL wins, but Sunday was all about the defense. The Patriots offense contuined to struggle in the red zone and it appears the coaching staff hasn’t quite taken the reins off of Jones yet, but the defense intercepted Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson four times and sacked him four times in a 25-6 win. Nick Folk also made four…

Patriots: Matthew Judon proving he was worth big contract before the regular season even begins

August 29, 2021

It’s rare that a player signs with a team in the offseason and has an immediate impact before a meaningful down is played, but it’s happened with Matthew Judon. In his short time here, Judon has brought an attitude and swagger that has rubbed off on the defense and younger players. Judon has looked like an elite player well worth his big free agent contract and has already earned the…

Patriots Training Camp: Defensive Back Preview

July 29, 2021

The Patriots have had one of the best secondaries in the NFL in recent years and this year should be no different. Provided Stephon Gilmore returns and stays in New England, the Patriots secondary will once again be amongst the best in the NFL. Losing Patrick Chung to retirement hurts because he is so versatile and can play in all three levels of the defense but Bill Belichick added Jalen…
