Dismantling the Jets 54-13 was certainly a confidence boast for the Patriots. However, if they don’t build off of that performance and play well today, it was all for naught. The Patriots must prove today that what they did to the Jets last week, is who they are. It can’t be that they just beat up on a really bad football team. Today’s game against the Chargers is an opportunity…

Photo courtesy of Mary Schwalm / AP When the Patriots decided to spend a boatload of money this off-season in free agency, we applauded Bill Belichick for upgrading the talent, especially on offense. The additions of Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne and Mac Jones meant the Patriots finally had a skill group that would allow them to play they want. For six games, this group struggled…
The Patriots were supposed to beat the Jets today and they did, in convincing fashion. The Patriots 54-13 win was New England’s 12th straight against the hapless Jets. Beating the Jets around here is akin to getting a nor’easter in the winter. It’s expected. However just because it is an expectation, doesn’t mean that a win against the Jets isn’t a big deal. It is a big deal. It is…
FOXBOROUGH – It’s not every year that a Week 7 game against the lowly Jets is a “must win” scenario for the Patriots, but that’s exactly what we had at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon. With a real possibility that New England would be tied for last place if they lost to New York, the Patriots delivered the performance we’ve all been waiting for, manhandling the Jets 54-13. New England…
The Patriots are 2-4 on the season and in desperate need of a win. One of their two wins this season came in week two when they beat the New York Jets 25-6 at MetLife Stadium. One month later and the two teams meet again. Both teams dwindling playoff chances are on the line in what can only be described as a must win. The story of the first meeting…

FOXBOROUGH – In a quiet little corner on the second floor of The Hall at Patriots Place that felt more like a sophisticated library, Richard Seymour slipped on his red jacket at about 12:50 on Friday afternoon. With about seven cameras and five or six members of the media on hand, Seymour smiled, posed for some pictures then answered questions for a few moments while proud members of his family…
Let’s just get out ahead of this early. Everyone likes to be first, me included, so if and when this happens I want to be on that short list. If it doesn’t, it’s not the first time I’ve been wrong and sure as hell won’t be the last. If The Patriots lose to the Jets on Sunday, dropping to 2-5 overall and 0-5 at home and the offensive line woes…
The Patriots made some uncharacteristic mistakes in their 35-29 overtime loss to the Cowboys. These mistakes cost them the game despite Dallas doing everything they can to give them the game. Here are the five reasons that the Patriots lost a game quite frankly that they should have won. 1. Blocked punt: The Patriots hadn’t had a punt blocked in five years coming into this season. They have two blocked…
