Image courtesy of the New England Patriots On September 4, 1994, Robert Kraft watched as the Patriots suffered a heartbreaking 39-35 loss to the Miami Dolphins. That day, Kraft wasn’t just a lifelong fan, but the new owner of the Patriots after taking over in January. The team got him his first win two weeks later, beating the Bengals 31-28 on September 18, 1994. Nearly 28 years to the day…

Patriots: Nelson Agholor is making the most of new offensive approach

September 19, 2022
0 comment

Much has been made of the Patriots updating their offense after the departure of Josh McDaniels and most of it hasn’t been good. That’s understandable given lackluster performances in training camp, the preseason and Week 1 against Miami. Even in the Week 2 win in Pittsburgh that featured a much better offensive performance, there were still frustrating missed opportunities and pre-snap penalties. However, one player that has definitely benefitted from…

The Patriots got a much needed win in Pittsburgh today. It wasn’t pretty but the offense played better and the defense was again stout, holding the Steelers to 14 points and 259 yards of total offense. It was a much needed win. The team returns home next week to take on the Ravens in the home opener. Here are seven points I am making about today’s game. 1. Offensive line…

Photo – Don Wright/AP The final 6:33 of Sunday’s 17-14 win over the Steelers should give Patriots fans quite a bit of hope, even though the second game of the year still left a lot to be desired offensively. Clinging to a three-point lead, New England used 13 plays to run out the entirety of the remaining clock, dominating the Steelers up front while Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson iced…

Patriots Scouting Report: Mac Jones will have hands full today with the Steelers disguises and pressures

September 18, 2022

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for playing great defense throughout their history. In more recent years, the Steelers were known as “Blitzburgh” because they blitzed so much. Truth be told, it is not that they blitzed a lot. It is about how they did it. Former defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau didn’t bring the house every time he called a blitz. In fact, he would normally bring five on most pressures….

By Mason Sousa Alright let’s lick our wounds, knock the dust off, and get on to Pittsburgh. The bad news: The Patriots start the season 0-1 and the offense didn’t look to hot. The good news: Mac Jones escaped serious injury and T.J. Watt won’t be trying to put him on his back this Sunday. Reigning defensive player of the year T.J. Watt being out with a pectoral injury is as big a…

The ugliness of Miami is completely behind the Patriots. Bill Belichick met with the media on Wednesday as preparations for Pittsburgh ramp up with the first day practice this week. Mac Jones was on hand for the media portion of practice which was obviously a good sign. It seemed for years that the Patriots and Steelers were always guaranteed to play a big game against one another, maybe more, but…

Patriots: Patriots Need to Get Kendrick Bourne Back

September 14, 2022
0 comment

There were many frustrations in the Patriots 20-7 loss to the Dolphins in Week 1, but one of the top ones was the disappearance of Kendrick Bourne. In his first season with New England, Bourne amassed 800 receiving yards and by the end of the season he was the team’s best playmaker. He was one of the few Patriots to play well in the blowout loss to the Bills in…

The Patriots announced yesterday that running back Ty Montgomery has been placed on I.R. Montgomery played in Sunday’s opener against the Dolphins. Montgomery injured his knee in the preseason finally against the Raiders and it appears like he re-aggravated the injury. The Patriots have called up wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad and signed offensive tackle Marcus Cannon to the practice squad. The expectation is that Montgomery will…
