New England shows it deserves to be part of Army-Navy rotation

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…

The present day Patriots have reverted back to the 1992 Patriots

December 4, 2023

FOXBOROUGH- The Patriots wore their throwback uniforms on Sunday against the Chargers and it brought me back to my childhood. I was a senior in high school again. Pat the Patriot uniforms, bad quarterback play, a bad offense, an half empty stadium and a team that is currently 2-10. It felt like 1992 all over again. The Patriots are the worst team in the NFL. Yes. Worse than the Carolina…

The Patriots have a bye week this week. At 2-8, they are tied for the worst record in the league. They have not been this bad since 2000. 1. Unexpectedly bad: I don’t think anyone saw this coming. We all thought the Patriots would much improved after last season’s disappointing 8-9 record. Instead, they have been far worse. The offense is a bigger mess than last season, they are undisciplined…

Has Bill Belichick already started to lose control of personnel decisions?

November 1, 2023

For 20+ years, Bill Belichick has had final say over his roster. Presumably, that’s been the case this season too, including on trade deadline day Tuesday. The Patriots chose to stand pat and not part with any of their expiring contracts for draft picks, instead taking the George Costanza route ‘going down with the ship.’ But, has the change with Belichick’s full control of the roster already began? Fans have…

Have you looked at what’s out there? Firing Bill Belichick may not be the solution

October 13, 2023

In a story published earlier this week by The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, Patriots owner Robert Kraft would not hesitate to fire Bill Belichick. The story cited Kraft displeasure with this season thus far and the overall direction of the franchise as the reasons he would part ways with Belichick. Both are valid concerns but moving on from Belichick is far from a slam dunk. Have you looked at what’s out there…

Image courtesy of New England Patriots & NEFJ The big news around this area on schedule day was that Tom Brady is coming back for the home opener. When the Patriots host the defending NFC Champion Eagles at 4:25 on September 10, the GOAT will be recognized on what is sure to be an emotional day in Foxborough. To me, it feels way too early. Think about when the Red…
