The Sony Michel era in New England is over. The 2018 first round pick has been traded by the Patriots to the Los Angeles Rams for a 2022 5th round and 6th round pick. The Patriots could end up with a 4th round pick if the Rams get a compensatory 4th round pick for safety John Johnson who signed with the Browns this off-season. If they do, the Rams would…

The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions made a blockbuster trade on Saturday night. Detroit sent quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff, two first round picks (2022, 2023) and a third round pick. The Rams were desperate to unload Goff’s contract and the only way they could do it is to give up more first round picks. The Rams have not made a first round selection since…

AP Photo/ Ashley Landis Are all the people that wanted this team to stick with Cam Newton and make a playoff push happy now? After last night’s putrid, disgusting, embarrassing 24-3 loss to the Rams, New England is now 6-7 and in all likelihood going to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Rams(9-4) held the Patriots to 220 yards of total offense and 10 first downs….

Patriots: Bill Belichick needs to get the memo. The Cam Newton era is over

December 11, 2020

0 comment

Bill Belichick is a proud but stubborn man. It was never more evident than after last night when he responded to a question regarding Cam Newton’s status as the starting quarterback by saying “I am glad you asked that. Cam is our quarterback.” Cam is our quarterback? Really? After another abysmal performance and arguably the worse of his short Patriots career, Newton is still the starter? How? He completed 9…

The Patriots face the Rams tonight in a Super Bowl LIII rematch. While many of the names and faces have changed on both teams, many of the schemes remain the same. The Rams are still a heavy 11 and 12 personnel team on offense and defensively, they still play a 3-4 base despite a coordinator change in the off-season. Los Angeles is well coached and they do not beat themselves….

Patriots: Patriots playoff fate will be determined in the next two games

December 5, 2020

0 comment

If the Patriots want to have any shot of making the playoffs, then they need to win the next two games. It is that simple. New England is still “in the hunt” at 5-6 but they are currently tenth in the AFC. Given the fact that every other team in front of them has a .500 record or above, they essentially need to win out to clinch the seventh seed….

Patriots: Winning ugly is now the Patriot Way

Image courtesy of Billie Weiss/Getty Images Get used to it Patriots fans. Get used to the Patriots winning ugly games like they did yesterday against Arizona. Let’s face it. The Patriots are not good enough to win any other way. They lack the talent necessary to win games by two or more scores. This team is going to be in close games week in and week out. In order for…
