Mac Jones has had a tumultuous season thus far. He has played well in spurts but he has also been benched twice in blow out losses to the Cowboys and Saints. Jones tenure in New England in many ways mimics his three seasons as a Patriot. You get some good and you get a fair amount of bad when it comes to Jones play. What we saw Sunday was good…
One is nice, two would be a whole lot better, especially in the division. After upsetting Buffalo last week, the Pats legitimately have a chance to continue turning what looked like an abysmal season around if they can match the same effort they put forth last week when they head down to Miami this weekend. The guy who needs another strong performance the most is Mac Jones, and he knows…
The Patriots host the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. Buffalo is 6-1 in their last seven meetings against the Patriots. Part of the reason Buffalo has had so much success is they pose match-up problems for the Patriots, especially on the perimeter. Here are the top five match-ups to watch in today’s game. Stefon Diggs vs. Jonathan Jones: Jones has struggled at times against Diggs especially when he lines up at…
At some point, Mac Jones isn’t going to be the quarterback of the New England Patriots. The only question is, does that time come this season, or after 2023? Time is ticking to decide whether the team wants to pick up his fifth-year option and given the fact that the Pats are 1-5, the future doesn’t look to bright for No. 10. Still, despite all the negativity and mounting losses,…

While the Patriots’ defense battled again, the offense failed to hold its end of the bargain in a familiar theme, leading to an ugly 21-17 loss. In an unimaginable scenario during any of the last 20+ years, the Patriots are now 1-5 and have more questions than answers at every level of the organization….
Kickoff: The Patriots will look to turn their season around this afternoon when they visit old friend Josh McDaniels and the Las Vegas Raiders. New England is coming off of a humiliating 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints at home while the Raiders will look to make it two in a row after beating the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Here are four keys to the game….
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Patriots quarterback Mac Jones could be on a “short leash” in today’s game against the Raiders. Jones has been benched each of the last two games against the Cowboys and Saints and could be sat down much earlier today if he struggles early according to Rapoport. Rapoport also reported that both Bailey Zappe and Will Grier got more reps with the first team offense…
It’s pretty clear that the majority of the fan base doesn’t believe in Mac Jones as “the guy” going forward. Frankly, he’s given no reason to believe in him. But, the team feels differently. Both Bill O’Brien on Tuesday and Bill Belichick on Wednesday expressed confidence in Jones and said he would be the starter this Sunday when the 1-4 Patriots travel to Las Vegas. Belichick bluntly said “yeah, we…
If you thought the Patriots offense was bad last season, it is even worse this season thus far. The numbers do not lie. The Patriots are putrid on offense right now and judging by their performance the past two weeks, it doesn’t appear to be getting better. The raw numbers do not lie. This where the Patriots rank in the NFL in these categories. Points per game: 32nd Yards per…
Image courtesy of Winslow Townson/Getty Images/ Patriots fans watching yet another blowout loss. The Patriots have hit rock bottom after today’s 34-0 home loss to the New Orleans Saints. It is the team’s worst home loss since 1969. The Patriots are 1-4 for the first time since 2000 which was Bill Belichick’s first season as head coach. Sadly, they have hit rock bottom and no one knows where they go…
