Patriots: Is this season turning into a Bill Belichick masterpiece?

November 8, 2021

PHOTO: Bob Donnan – USA Today Sports Don’t look now, but the season that seemed destined for failure just a few weeks ago is suddenly looking more and more like one of Bill Belichick’s career masterpieces in the making. I believe 2001, 2007, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2018 will stand as his best work given different circumstances in each of those seasons, but with a third straight win on Sunday,…

Today’s game in Carolina wasn’t pretty but the Patriots got the job done in a 24-6 win over the Panthers. The Patriots collectively rushed for 154 yards on 36 carries, their fifth straight game of over 100 yards rushing. Rookie Rhamondre Stevenson paced the rushing attack with 62 yards on 10…

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.

Let’s just get out ahead of this early. Everyone likes to be first, me included, so if and when this happens I want to be on that short list.

If The Patriots lose to the Jets on Sunday, dropping to 2-5 overall and 0-5 at home and the offensive line woes…

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…

PHOTO: AP/Frank Franklin II Despite the loss, I think just about everyone agrees that Mac Jones passed the Tampa Bay test in terms of being able to handle the bright lights and everything else that came with the game during that wild week. Now, Jones is facing a similar yet completely different type of test when the Cowboys visit for another national TV game and a 4:25 kick off on…
