David Andrews vs. Jonathan Allen: Andrews will have his…
The Patriots host the Washington Commanders today at Gillette Stadium. Like the Patriots, the Commanders have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball. On paper, Washington has a more talented roster but they do not always play up to their ability. The Patriots can take advantage of their inconsistency with a good plan and execution. Here are three offensive and defensive keys. 1. Get Douglas 20 touches: Quite frankly,…

With the MIAA playoffs in full swing this weekend, I thought it’d be a good time to get a bunch of Patriots players to talk about their favorite high school football memories, particularly in the postseason. After all, if not for people supporting them in the early stages of their careers, most pros wouldn’t be where they are today. High school football is really where dreams start to become a…
The NFL Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Patriots did not make a trade for the third straight year. The Patriots have several unrestricted free agents that could have moved but are staying. Safety Kyle Dugger, guard/tackle Mike Onwenu, EDGE, Josh Uche, running back Ezekiel Elliott, offensive tackle Trent Brown, safety Jalen Mills and tight ends Mike Gesicki and Hunter Henry are on expiring contracts but none of…
The NFL trade deadline is today. At 2-6, many are expecting the Patriots to be a potential seller. With the playoffs a long shot, New England should be open for business but as we have said all along, that is highly unlikely given Bill Belichick’s track record. The Patriots have several impending free agents. Safety Kyle Dugger, tight ends Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, offensive tackle…
The Patriots lost yet again in Miami, losing 31-17 to the Dolphins. With the loss, the Patriots fall to 2-6 on the season and 2-2 in the AFC East. They are now 17-42 all time against the Dolphins in Miami. Here are seven points on today’s loss. 1. Defense disappoints: The defense was inconsistent. They made plays early on and kept the Patriots in the game but their inability to…
The Patriots, Dolphins live chat is up and running. Join the conversation by commenting in the comments section. Patriots have moved the ball at times in their first two possessions but they haven’t been able to put anything together consistently. INT! KYLE DUGGAR. Great job of baiting Tua into that throw. What a ball to Bourne for the touchdown on the dig route. Mac did a great job of putting…
The Patriots host the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football. As usual, Miami is one of the toughest match-ups in the NFL offensively. The Patriots back seven will have their work cut out for them especially with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. How the Patriots chose to defend them will be the biggest key in this game. As always, the game is won and lost in the trenches. There are plenty…
The Patriots visit the Dolphins this week. On paper this is a tough match up for the Patriots, especially on defense. The Dolphins offense presents a lot of problems. The Patriots will have to be creative with their defensive plan if they want to slow this offense down. Offensively, the Patriots should be able to move the football. Miami’s front seven is good but there are match ups New England…
