Patriots: Patriots survive ugly day, beat Arizona on Folk’s 50-yard field goal

Image courtesy of Elise Amendola/AP Photo Even when the Patriots win, it’s not fun anymore. I know I sound like a ‘spoiled young fan” but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If 179 yards of total offense and nine completions from your starting quarterback on Sunday was somehow visually pleasing – or even worse gives you confidence that this team can still be competitive in January – no one…

Tampa Bay Tuesday: Primetime lights too bright again for Brady and the Bucs

November 24, 2020

AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio This is a nightmare scenario for Patriots fans who wanted the team to at least be “meh” this season while also watching Tom Brady succeed in Tampa. Unfortunately, the Pats are worse than “meh” and with an ugly 27-24 home loss on Monday Night Football against the Rams, it’s see to wonder if Brady might be one-and-done in the playoffs for the second straight season. Luckily for…

Patriots: Breaking down Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF interview on WEEI

November 24, 2020

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Yikes. If the past few weeks were two of the best Bill Belichick interviews by Ordway, Merloni and Fauria, then this one easily wins the award for most awkward. Belichick was not in a chatty mood as you’d expect after the 27-20 loss in Houston, so, credit to the guys for not backing down, but pissy Bill can make interviews quite cringeworthy. Right from the jump…

Patriots: Houston We Have A Problem – Watson dominates, Pats fall to 4-6

AP/Eric Christian Smith Okay, so, forget what we said last week. Following an impressive performance against Baltimore, I wrote that any Bill Belichick coached team should never be counted out. Well, the Texans shut that down real quick. Deshaun Watson single-handily destroyed the Patriot defense (380 total yards) and the New England offense wasted a chance to force overtime on the last possession of the game, ultimately falling 27-20 in…

Patriots: Pats defense and the weather smother Ravens in stunning 23-17 upset

We all saw this one coming, right? The Patriots were rightful 6.5-point underdogs at home heading into their matchup against Baltimore on Sunday night. The entire country assumed that the Ravens would roll as the Patriots’ transition into mediocrity continues. Instead, the football gods – or maybe Bill Belichick – brought a monsoon to Gillette Stadium for the majority of the game on Sunday night with howling winds and sideways…

Tampa Bay Tuesday: Brady and the Bucs get embarrassed by Saints in 35-point blowout

November 10, 2020

A week after barely escaping a horrific Monday night performance against the Giants with a win, the Buccaneers had a golden opportunity to get things right on Sunday night. The Saints visited for what was billed as an epic Brady and Brees matchup. Instead, it turned into a nightmare scenario for Bruce Arians, Brady and the Bucs. Brees and the Saints punched the Buccaneers in the mouth and they never…

Tampa Bay Tuesday: Brady and the Bucs survive a scare from the Giants

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Tom 6, Bill 2. It’s obviously not that simple, but as it stands after Monday night’s 25-23 win for the Buccaneers, Brady is winning the first round of the “was it the coach or quarterback?” argument that will last for decades. Brady technically needed a non-pass interference call to get to 6-2 on the year, but the Bucs are now second in the NFC, just behind…

Patriots: Cam Newton fumbles game away, Pats lose to Bills 24-21

As ugly as it looked on Sunday, the Patriots still had a chance to rip the hearts out of Buffalo Bills fans everywhere. Entering the season-altering game in a damp, cold and raw Orchard Park, New England was 35-5 against the Bills since 2000. Buffalo led by three with 4:06 remaining, but the Patriots took over at their own 21-yard line with a chance to put together a game-winning drive…

Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF interview on WEEI

October 27, 2020

In a rather stunning turn of events, Bill Belichick actually answered questions from Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria like a normal human being on Monday. After the embarrassment that was the 33-6 blowout on Sunday, it was just assumed that BB would be his usual ornery self when he met with the guys on Monday. That wasn’t really the case though as Bill gave some legitimately honest answers…

Tampa Bay Tuesday: Brady and the Bucs keep rolling with blowout win over Las Vegas

AP Photo/David Becker This looked familiar. If you were smart enough to flip over to Red Zone or find the Buccaneers-Raiders game during the abysmal Patriots game on Sunday, then you saw Tom Brady looking as good as ever with a vintage performance. The Bucs moved to 5-2 with a dominant 45-20 win and it appears like things are truly starting to click this time. Penalties have been down, the…
