Patriots: Should Bill Belichick be on the hot seat? Not quite yet, but that day is coming sooner rather than later

January 16, 2022

Relax, I’m not saying he should be fired on Monday. However, when you look at the big picture since 2019, it’s hard to believe the Krafts aren’t starting to wonder the same thing at this point. Brady’s tenure here ended in ugly fashion and eventually, would you really be stunned if there was a “mutual parting of ways” after 22 seasons here? Most people can’t stand their boss after 22…

Patriots: Looking back at what life was like the last time a quarterback other than Tom Brady started a playoff game for the Patriots

January 14, 2022

Saturday is going to be a historic night for the Patriots franchise for a few different reasons. Not only is the prime time matchup with the Buffalo Bills just the second playoff meeting all time between the two franchises, but it’ll also be the first playoff game in 23 years for the Patriots without Tom Brady under center. January 3, 1999 was the last time a quarterback not named Brady…

Saturday’s matchup is another historic clash in this feud that’s been going since the Colts were in Baltimore and the Patriots still had the word Boston in front of it.

Patriots: The margin of error was thin and the Patriots made too many mistakes to beat Brady and the Bucs

October 4, 2021

AP Photo/Elise Amendola The Patriots learned a valuable lesson in their 19-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The margin of error is razor thin when it comes to close games in football. Contrary to what the narrative will be. The Patriots did not lose last night because Tom Brady picked apart Belichick’s defense. They lost because they committed eight penalties for 77 yards and turned the ball over twice….

It was truly a night Patriots fans and the Brady family will never forget. After so much hype – it felt like a Super Bowl the last two weeks – Tom Brady’s triumphant return to Foxborough on Sunday night had it all. You had the near perfect moment of him running out for pregame to a thunderous ovation. You then had the Bucs being introduced to another standing ovation and…

Patriots: Despite loss, Mac Jones continues to show he’s the right guy for New England

October 4, 2021

PHOTO: AP Photo/Elise Amendola I think we can all agree the Patriots have their quarterback of the future. Many fans were still on the fence about the first round draft pick, but Jones should have put any questions you may have had about his ability to lead to bed on Sunday night after going toe-to-toe with Tom Brady in the most hyped regular season game in North American sports history….

Patriots: Mac shines, but Brady gets the win in what might have been his final game at Gillette

October 4, 2021

PHOTO: NFL.com Who else thought Nick Folk would clang a 56-yard field goal off the left upright in a driving rainstorm to give Tom Brady the win in his return to Gillette Stadium? The game may not have lived up to the hype in terms of points scored, but the fourth quarter was basically a Hollywood script, with Mac Jones making sure he had a co-starring role right next to…

October 3, 2021

We all know Tom Brady is coming back so we don’t have to talk about that.

Here’s a look at the Bucs Head Coach: Bruce Arians Offensive Coordinator: Byron Leftwich Defensive Coordinator: Todd Bowles Special Teams: Keith Armstrong Offense Tampa Bay is…

Patriots: Rob Gronkowski missing tonight’s game is great news for the Patriots. Here’s why

October 3, 2021

Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will not be making a return to Gillette Stadium tonight with Tom Brady. The former Patriots tight end is out with a rib injury and did not make the trip. Some Patriots fans think Gronkowski is ducking them and the organization because of the way his career ended in New England. The truth is, it has nothing to do with that. Gronkowski is legitimately hurt….
