There will be no excuses for Patriots players not to be in the building on Friday morning while the snow flies around New England. No “my car wouldn’t start” will be accepted from anyone. Bill Belichick gave his team “the snow speech” on Thursday. No one wants to be That Guy. “Just talking about getting ready for the snow, I live in an apartment complex right now so I’m sure…

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…

The defense has given up a total of 1,273 yards during a five game winning streak. It seems like a big number, but it’s actually an average of just 254.6 yards per game. The Patriots manhandled the Falcons on Thursday night and despite the…

Patriots: Matt Judon isn’t just making his teammates better, he’s making the defensive coaching staff better as well

PHOTO: Winslow Towson/AP Photos When Matt Judon got a boatload of money in the offseason, Patriots fans were skeptical of a former Raven joining the organization. After all, the Ravens will forever be hated in these parts for kicking off Deflategate and despite Judon’s fairly well known reputation for being an impact guy on the field, surely that Ravens stench would infect the locker room at Gillette. Instead, it’s been…

FOXBOROUGH – On a day where there were military members sworn in on the field before the game and a flyover followed the national anthem, the Patriots made sure they put on a show for all those that fight for our freedom. New England scored 45 unanswered points and hammered the Browns 45-7 for the team’s fourth straight win. In the last two home games against the Jets and Browns,…

PHOTO: Kirby Lee-USA Today The Patriots didn’t just beat the Chargers 27-24 on Sunday, it was a much needed reminder that Bill Belichick is still pretty good at what he does. Sure, New England may have given up 369 yards of total offense to Justin Herbert and Los Angeles, but when it mattered most, it was Adrian Phillips – a free agent Bill brought in from that same Chargers team…
