PHOTO: AP Photo/Elise Amendola I think we can all agree the Patriots have their quarterback of the future. Many fans were still on the fence about the first round draft pick, but Jones should have put any questions you may have had about his ability to lead to bed on Sunday night after going toe-to-toe with Tom Brady in the most hyped regular season game in North American sports history….

Patriots: Rob Gronkowski missing tonight’s game is great news for the Patriots. Here’s why

Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will not be making a return to Gillette Stadium tonight with Tom Brady. The former Patriots tight end is out with a rib injury and did not make the trip. Some Patriots fans think Gronkowski is ducking them and the organization because of the way his career ended in New England. The truth is, it has nothing to do with that. Gronkowski is legitimately hurt….

Patriots: Somehow, Rob Gronkowski is the forgotten man this week amidst all of the Brady hype

October 1, 2021

Lost in all of the hype surrounding Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro is also the return of old friend Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski retired after the 2018 season and was out of the game in 2019. When Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last spring, he coaxed Gronkowski out of retirement and the Patriots ended up trading Gronkowski to the Buccaneers. After a slow start last season, Gronkowski was force…

In case you’ve forgotten, Mac Jones is also playing on Sunday night. Unfortunately, Tom Brady won’t be throwing passes for both teams. Basically a forgotten man in all of the Brady-Belichick hysteria this week, Jones is about to face his biggest challenge yet with the eyes of the world watching. Literally, The Today Show and NBC Nightly News are broadcasting from Gillette Stadium on Friday. The world is truly fixing…

Patriots: Not known for its noise, can the Gillette Stadium crowd help the Patriots beat Brady?

Have you made a decision yet, Patriots fans? For those lucky enough to have a ticket to Sunday’s monumental Tom Brady return, there is a legitimate choice to be made. Cheer for Brady like he still plays for your home team, or boo the hell out of him and hope Matt Judon, Christian Barmore and Dont’a Hightower knock him on his ass. There are very few (like myself) who will…

Patriots: The Patriots know that the key to getting to Brady is inside pressure

September 29, 2021

For years we have been told that the key to getting to Tom Brady is inside pressure. It is all about throwing him off of his spot. That theory will be tested this week when Brady and the Buccaneers visit Foxboro. Other teams have taken that approach to dealing with Brady in the past but it hasn’t exactly worked. Teams that have running quarterbacks can usually beat inside pressure by…

Patriots: Loss of James White tough to take for players on and off the field

PHOTO: New England Patriots Throughout training camp and the first few weeks of the season, any time coach Belichick, Ivan Fears or a teammate has had the opportunity to praise James White’s leadership or compliment the type of man he is, they’ve done so at great length. Belichick has said White is one of the few guys he will go to for an “honest assessment” of things going on with…

PHOTO: Getty Images We all knew this week was coming eventually, but no one saw it coming under these circumstances. When Tom Brady makes his return to Gillette Stadium next Sunday night it will undoubtedly be the biggest regular season game in Boston sports history, the only problem is that a few of the storylines heading into the game are much different than anyone expected. The Patriots were supposed to…

Patriots: Patriots issues show up in ugly loss to Saints

September 26, 2021
0 comment

The Patriots played poorly in all three phases of the game in an ugly 28-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Offensively, the Patriots mustered only 13 points as rookie quarterback Mac Jones (30-51 270 yds, 1TD) was under siege all afternoon. Jones was sacked twice and threw three interceptions including a pick six to Malcolm Jenkins. The offensive line, which was a strength last season has been…
