Kickoff– The Patriots will look to rebound after a bad loss last week in Dallas when they host the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium. The Saints are coming off of a tough home loss to the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams are desperate for a win. Here are four keys to the game. 1. Get Mac on track- We do not need to relive last week but Bill…
As expected, the Bailey Zappe potential starter questions came up during Bill Belichick’s usual Monday morning press conference after the embarrassing loss in Dallas. While it’s a fair question given how poorly Mac Jones played with three turnovers, Belichick quickly squashed the idea – for now. “I doubt anything would change significantly,” he said. “But, we’ll talk about that. I don’t know. We haven’t gotten to that point yet.” Belichick…
IMAGE COURTESY OF CHRIS TORRES The Patriots suffered the worst loss of Bill Belichick’s coaching career on Sunday losing 38-3 to the Dallas Cowboys. Here are seven points on today’s game. 1. Mac was awful- Jones played his worst game as a Patriot. He completed 12-of-21 passes for 150 yards and two interceptions, one of which was a pick six.

Mac Jones had arguably the worst performance of his Patriots career in Sunday’s 38-3 loss to the Cowboys. He threw two interceptions including a pick six and he fumbled on a strip sack that ended being a ten yard scoop and score. Jones finished 12-of-21 for 150 yards on the day. He was flat out bad. Perhaps the worst thing about Jones performance today was that he seemingly quit. You…
Image courtesy of Tim Heitman/USA TODAY Sports Disaster. Abysmal. Embarrassing. It’s the only way to describe the Patriots’ 38-3 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon in Dallas. The defense gave up just two touchdowns, but Mac Jones turned the ball over three times and was pulled for Bailey Zappe in the third quarter. New England is now 1-3 again and the questions will certainly start to swirl regarding both…
The Patriots lack of a playmaker was once again evident in Sunday’s 15-10 win over the Jets. New England had several opportunities to blow the game open but the lack of a skill player who can stretch the field and make defenders miss in space hindered the offense once again. Having to drive the hall on every possession is hard. You need to mix in short drives that are the…
Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots picked up their first win of the season, beating the New York 15-10 in a defensive struggle. The offense had its moments, but they sputtered in the second half. Despite that, the defense did what they needed to do down the stretch to keep New York out of the end zone. Here are seven points on the Patriots win. 1. Defense thrives: The Patriots…
Image courtesy of Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – We knew it wasn’t going to pretty, and boy, it wasn’t. The Patriots held the Jets to less than 100 yards of total offense through much of the game (171 total) and made Zach Wilson look as bad as he ever has en route to a desperately needed 15-10 victory on a miserable afternoon in New Jersey. The Patriots offense…

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones blamed himself for Sunday’s 25-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones said after the game that if he played better, the Patriots probably win the game. When asked about getting the ball back twice late in the game with an opportunity to win it, Jones squarely put the blame on himself. “Yeah, not good by me. They gave me the ball twice to win the game,…
