The New England Patriots won’t see a playoff-clinching win as easy as this, probably ever again. After fumbling away the chance to control the AFC East the rest of the way last week to the Bills, the Patriots are riding a two-game losing streak. Losing to the Colts two weeks ago on primetime, and then […]

I’m usually not the reactionary type. After the loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week, I was pretty high on the New England Patriots still. They showed enough fight in the second half to make me believe in them as I did, and still do to some respect. There wasn’t too much to takeaway in […]

The New England Patriots are still a great football team, but they came down to earth last week in Indianapolis. After a 27-17 loss, the Pats returned home with a huge reality check. After ripping through seven straight games and winning, the hot streak came to a crashing end versus Jonathan Taylor and the Colts. […]

The New England Patriots are hot. Like, possible Super Bowl threat hot. Riding a six-game win streak, taking out some of the AFC’s best competitors, Bill Belichick’s squad has returned to form. A form that’s been unseen since the days of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski tearing the league apart in Foxboro themselves. Now it’s […]

If you’re still sleeping on the New England Patriots, it’s time to wake up. After a huge 36-13 victory over former #1 seed Tennessee Titans, the Pats are hitting their stride. Riding a 6-game win streak, and outscoring their opposition 211-63 during this stretch, the Patriots look unstoppable. There isn’t any real weakness on this […]

The last time these two teams met, it wasn’t a good time in New England. In the wild card round in the 2019-20 AFC Playoffs, Patriots fans witnessed Tom Brady‘s last game as a New England Patriot. In a 20-13 loss, Titans running back Derrick Henry bullied New England’s run defense and sent the miserable […]

The New England Patriots may not have been picture-perfect in their shutout win, but they got the job done. Winning their fifth straight, the Pats did what they do best in Atlanta versus the Falcons. They slowed the game down, owned the time of possession, and made Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan‘s life hell. The Patriots […]

It’s true, this game on Thursday night for the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons is as easy as it gets for a solid month and a half. But that doesn’t mean that the Falcons will be a push-over ahead of this brutal schedule. Despite having a generous defense and an offense unable to […]

The New England Patriots are beginning to turn some heads. At 5-4, they sit with the seventh seed in the AFC Playoff picture. One game back of the Buffalo Bills for the coveted AFC East title. Starting out 2-4, this team became an afterthought to the greater view of the NFL. The narratives began to […]

The New England Patriots might finally be great again. Following the 24-6 smothering of the Carolina Panthers, confidence should be at an all-time high for this roster. Sitting at 5-4, they’re not the average team their record indicates. In all four of their losses, it came down to the final drive or even the final […]

The New England Patriots have gone under two days of training camp thus far. Nothing too interesting, as coach Belichick said, it’s a continuation of spring until the players are allowed to get pads on come next Tuesday. So there haven’t been any questions answered yet. But what are the big questions? I have three […]

We all can kind of figure out who the favorites are for this NFL season. The defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Kansas City Chiefs out for revenge. Hell, I named 10 of them in a piece this week. But who are the dark horse teams this season? The teams that could make a whole […]

We’ve come to basically the end of the NFL off-season. Most rosters are pretty set, pending position battles for who will start in certain areas. I think we can accurately predict (the best we can anyway) which NFL teams will be great, and which ones will be terrible. My colleague Kendrick Lindsay did his piece […]

This isn’t an article that I don’t think anybody expected to see. If you read this headline anytime in the last 20 years, you might be called crazy. Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has been a figure in the NFL for about as long as I have been alive. Growing up in New England, you knew […]
