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

October 24, 2021

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…

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…

Enjoy this one tonight Patriots fans, it’ll be a while until you see this type of atmosphere again. Primetime, Sunday night, all eyes on Gillette Stadium. It’s something fans got used to seeing four or five times a year when Tom Brady was the quarterback and 14-2 was almost a given before training camp even started. Those days are long gone now and when Brady packs up and leaves after…

Have you made a decision yet, Patriots fans? For those lucky enough to have a ticket to Sunday’s monumental Tom Brady return, there is a legitimate choice to be made. Cheer for Brady like he still plays for your home team, or boo the hell out of him and hope Matt Judon, Christian Barmore and Dont’a Hightower knock him on his ass. There are very few (like myself) who will…

Patriots: Does the dynasty ever exist without Adam Vinatieri?

May 28, 2021

0 comment

With Adam Vinatieri announcing his retirement this week, another huge piece of the NFL’s greatest dynasty has left the league. As the Belichick Era continues to wind down, it’s worth wondering whether all of the special memories over the past 20+ years happen without Vinatieri. The argument is always whether it was Brady or Belichick that meant more and no matter who’s side you’re on there may never be a…
