Image courtesy of Adrian Kraus/AP Photo) Ugly is an understatement when trying to sum up the Bills-Pats game in Orchard Park on Sunday. Turnovers ruled the day as New England handed Buffalo the ball four times en route to a 27-21 loss. Bailey Zappe had three first half interceptions and even though the Pats were in it late thanks to another impressive defensive effort, New England dropped to 4-12 on…

While not always noticeable, Chris Board’s role on Patriots has been an important one

December 29, 2023

Image courtesy of New England Patriots The only thing Patriots fans really know about Chris Board is that he makes a significant amount of money to play special teams. Around here, that usually means you draw more criticism than praise unless your impact is glaring. No. 45 doesn’t get mentioned much on the TV broadcast (aside from the penalty last week that negated a 76 yard punt), but his impact…

They just keep growing and growing and chaos always follows. Buffalo Bills fans have developed quite the reputation and love them or hate them, there’s no denying the passion they have for their routinely failing franchise….

FOXBOROUGH – Compete, lose with dignity and maintain draft position. That’s ultimately what every Patriots’ fan should have been rooting for on Sunday when New England hosted the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. And, it’s exactly what they got. The Pats trailed by just four at halftime and looked good offensively at times, but the second half was a different story as KC came away with a 27-17 win. The…

If anyone could be coasting during this abysmal 3-10 season for the Patriots, it’s David Andrews. As a 31 year old veteran whose been beaten up during his now nine-year career, it would be understandable if Andrews wasn’t as engaged or committed to the every day grind – especially in December – when the team is just struggling to keep its head above water. However, it’s been the complete opposite….

After a report from Tome E. Curran on NBC Sports Boston on Tuesday night where he said he had heard the decision on Belichick’s future had been made after the ugly loss to the Colts in Germany, Belichick was asked early…

Well done, New England. Army-Navy week was a smashing success in every possible way. Players, coaches, PR staff members, athletic directors and other folks with ties to either academy that we spoke with or that spoke after the game had nothing but glowing things to say about their experience this week. Given the slightly important fact that the United States of America started here, there’s no reason why Foxborough and…
