Patriots: Win over the Chargers was a statement game for the defense and most importantly, for Bill Belichick

November 1, 2021

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…

The win was the Patriots best win since they beat Baltimore last season on Sunday Night Football. With the win, the Patriots now improve to 4-4 and find themselves in the thick of things in the AFC. It wasn’t easy as the Patriots repeatedly missed…

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…

Patriots: Crushing the Jets could give the Patriots some much needed confidence moving forward

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…
