If Patriots fans thought 2020 was bad, 2021 hasn’t been much better. After suffering through a 7-9 year where Tom Brady won another Super Bowl with another franchise, Patriots fans were hoping that free agency and the draft would provide new hope for a quicker rebuild. Instead, just days before the one year anniversary of Brady’s decision to leave, Bill Belichick twisted the knife a little more early Friday morning…

February 27, 2021

Cam Newton and Bill Belichick have a great deal of respect for each other. How do I know? Cam Newton said so. Appearing on the I Am An Athlete Podcast last weekend, Newton told a panel of former players including Fred Taylor and Chad Ocho Cinco (whom both played for the Patriots) that Bill Belichick is the most misunderstood guy in the NFL. Newton referred to Belichick as a “cool…

Patriots Draft: Studying Bill Belichick’s quarterback history could shed some light into his thought process

February 20, 2021

Patriots: It is time for a shift in philosophy when it comes to the Patriots passing game

January 9, 2021

Now that the 2020 season has ended, it is time to access things and to figure out where the Patriots can improve for the 2021 season. Aside from upgrading the personnel, which would go a long way in ensuring that this team can compete again, the Patriots also need to consider a philosophy change on offense. It is too early in the off-season to tell as to whether or not…

January 4, 2021

Granted, it came against the Jets, but the New England offense looked great on Sunday in a 28-14 win to close out the strangest year in Patriots history.

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

December 23, 2020

Forget what we said about any of the other interviews this year. This one was the best, hands down. Some of the local media has finally had enough of Bill Belichick acting like they’re beneath him and started to (sort of) call him out for answering questions like a child. While there’s still the segment of the media who will forever worship the ground he walks on, there are guys…

Patriots: Dolphins end Pats’ playoff hopes with ugly win

December 21, 2020

John McCall/Sun Sentinel For the first time since 2008, the Patriots will not be part of the NFL postseason. New England continued to trot out an offense that couldn’t compete with some high school teams in this state in a 22-12 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. The lackluster effort leaves the Patriots at 6-8 with two games left against the Bills (next Monday night) and Jets. Just to make…

Patriots: Pats embarrassed in prime time by Rams, playoff chances all but dead

December 11, 2020

AP Photo/ Ashley Landis Are all the people that wanted this team to stick with Cam Newton and make a playoff push happy now? After last night’s putrid, disgusting, embarrassing 24-3 loss to the Rams, New England is now 6-7 and in all likelihood going to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Rams(9-4) held the Patriots to 220 yards of total offense and 10 first downs….
