Patriots: Sights, sounds & thoughts from Day 6 of training camp

August 2, 2022

Day two of padded practices was another good one for the defense, a struggle for the running game and while there were some more flashy catches from a few receivers, an inconsistent day for the offense yet again. -Terrance Mitchell made it six-for-six as the first guy out for practice. -Lonnie Paxton was on hand in the family/VIP area. He might be the only field goal/long snapper in NFL history…

Patriots: Sights, sounds & thoughts from Day 5 of training camp

We finally got some real football on Monday morning. Ok, maybe not real in the sense of full speed, full contact, but the pads came on for the first time when the Patriots hit the field for the fifth practice of the summer. There was a heavy amount of running game work and there were no big hits or fisticuffs, but still plenty to sift through after what I’d call…

The first week of training camp came to an end with one more practice on Saturday morning and it was another good day for the defense. Let’s just jump right into some sights, sounds and thoughts on the day and where things stand after four practices. -Not only was there a standing room only crowd in the bleachers and on the hill on Saturday, but there was even overflow “traffic”…

Patriots: Season comes to an end with embarrassing 30-point loss to the Bills in AFC Wild Card game

January 16, 2022

If you wanted to see what taking out two decades of frustration on a rival looks like, all you had to do was watch the Buffalo Bills dismantle the Patriots in their AFC Wild Card matchup on Saturday night. The second playoff meeting ever between the two franchises was supposed to be a 12-round fight between two hard-nosed AFC East teams. Instead, it was the Bills taking the Pats to…

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…

Patriots: Jones still learning how to be “the guy” in the NFL with another test looming Sunday

Photo: Barry Chin/Boston Globe Mac Jones hadn’t lost much in his football career prior to being a member of the Patriots. Whether it was high school or Alabama, the rare loss Jones took was usually quickly pushed aside by a dominant performance with elite players around him a week or two later. Things are different now, and Jones is faced with quite a difficult task for a rookie quarterback this…

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

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: Kendrick Bourne has become a legitimate weapon for the Patriots

November 29, 2021

When the Patriots made a flurry of free agent signings in March one name that flew under the radar was wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. It’s understandable why he did; Matthew Judon was the top free agent available and names like Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith were more than enough to get Patriots fans excited. During New England’s six game winning streak, though, Bourne has been New England’s most dynamic offensive…

Patriots: Patriots surrender 270 yards on the ground but still dominate in win

November 29, 2021

AP Photo/Steven Senne FOXBOROUGH- The final score in yesterday’s Patriots would indicate that they dominated the Titans in their 36-13 win but the truth is, they didn’t. The score is misleading. The Patriots led 16-13 at the half but the Titans had outplayed them for most of the half. Perhaps the reason it felt that way was because Tennessee’s running game was so effective. The Titans rushed for 270 yards…

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…
