Strange things seem to happen with the Patriots in Miami - but a win is a win is a win. Always good to win in the division. Always good to win on the road. Don't like to see more injuries - but they weathered the storm today and move two games above .500.

GO PATS!

Oops! I fell asleep before posting this Thursday night - and then forgot! But um, better late than never? I can assume that had the Patriots pulled off the comeback win, I would have excitedly posted this in the wee hours of Friday morning - but that was not the case.

Either way, I did record my wrong prediction and my droopy sad afterthoughts....We're on to Miami.

GO PATS!

It's always good to beat the Jets. And even though I had to listen to most of it on the radio - whilst driving you-know-who to Florida (making it to South Carolina today) that didn't stop me from enjoying another Patriots win, 1/4 of which I actually was able to watch live!

GO PATS!

If last week was the game that showed the Patriots getting back on track, this week was the game showing that they can be a dominating team into 2026 NFL season! Absolutely fantastic effort by everyone - starting with their leader, Drake Maye!

The injuries are looking rough - the penalties called ever other play were annoying as hell - but today was an excellent day overall. LFG!

Finally! A complete effort on both sides of the ball! THIS felt more like the Patriots we became accustomed to last year. Huge win! Drake looked more like himself! Doubs had a huge game, and the world is starting to pay attention to Efton Chism III. LFG!!!

So maybe this wasn't just a slow start for the Patriots? Maybe this is what we're in for this year? Middling to bad play? Was today an anomaly or who they are? Was last year fool's gold, or who they can be again? This was a rough one and it may get worse before it gets better.

Assuming it can and will get better.

Can we start over and pretend THIS is the season opener!? This was definitely what the doctor, who Aaron Rodgers questions because the doctor has a degree and Rodgers is a psychopath, noted kook.

What is perfect? No! Did the offense have big moments but still sloppy mistakes? Yes! Can those be fixed? You bet your (foot)balls they can. And the defense looked fantastic.

The losing streak is over - let's hope a winning streak just began. GO PATS!

New season! High expectations! A new offense! And then the game happened. The high expectation turned into a high ankle sprain. That new offense has some work to do - BUT - the Pats and football are back! We learned last year - an opening week loss does not define a season! LFG!

Well, it's been a little over a week and I finally hit record to talk about the Super Bowl. The Patriots were outplayed and overmatched - and as disappointing as that was, I can't help but be grateful for an incredible season and excited for the future.

Go Pats! 

Whoever said winning conference championships needed to look pretty!? The Patriots defense let up one touchdown today - and then nothing else for the rest of the game. The offense did just enough to score more points than the Broncos - and that is all that matters.

Patriots win! And I can't believe I'm saying this - The PATRIOTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL! This podcast never thought we'd be saying that this soon.

Incredible.

The Patriots are on to the AFC Championship game! The defense dominated again and the offense came through when they needed to for another two-score victory in the playoffs. We're on to Denver and I'm on to another week of taco dip!

My wife and I cam home last night and I quickly crashed and fell asleep early - which is why the show wasn't posted until today. Who cares!? GO PATS!!!

For the first time since I started this podcast, the Patriots had a playoff home game AND the Patriots won a playoff game!!! It wasn't pretty, but the defense dominated and Drake came through when he needed to. HUGE win for the team and they live to fight another day - back at home next week! LFG!!!

Happy New Year, Patriots Fans! The Pats ended the regular season with three straight wins and an overall record of 14-3. They took care of business at home today against Miami and now all eyes are on to the Chargers.

LET'S GO!!!!

It's always good to beat the Jets! After three straight super-late nights, I crashed and crashed early yesterday - but not before seeing the Patriots display absolute dominance over the lowly Jets and seeing the Bills lose on the last play of the game to secure the Patriots as the AFC East Champs!

See you in 2026!

It wasn't pretty there for a while - until it was! Patriots put up 15 points in the fourth quarter to come back and and clinch a playoff spot! To come back and be one game away from winning the AFC East. To come back and still have a chance at the number one seed.

To come back and win! Merry Christmas!

I know, I know. It's only one game. I know, I know - this time has massively overachieved already this season. I know, I know, they still have the division in their midst and still have some hope for that number one seed (the Broncos game is still going on).

But expectations have changed for me, and after a fantastic first half - this one stung. But again, it was only one game - so you just put it behind you. And hopefully they just put it behind them.

We're on to Baltimore.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. For Patriots fans, there is a lot to be thankful for. The Patriots had their first Monday Night Football game in three years and came out decisively on top and the Patriots have the best record going into their bye week.

Tonight, they took care of business against New York. Now to rest up because the Bills come to town in a couple weeks. Let's go!!

Am I already so spoiled that seeing them struggle to put up points against the worst defense in the league - and have some key injuries to the offensive line - but still come away with a win feels almost unsatisfying? Yes, I guess so! But a win is a win is a win! First team in the league to 10 wins! Nine wins in a row! That is hard to do - and they did it....So, feelings, shmeelings, LFG!!!

It's always good to beat the Jets! The Patriots showed in Prime Time, on Prime Video, on Amazon Prime, and they delivered a fairly convincing win over the New York Jets! It's now eight wins in a row!

KEEP THAT BALL ROLLING!!!

SEVEN IN A ROW, BABY! How about those Patriots!? They go down to Tampa down to one of the better teams in the league, and they come out with a victory and tied for the best record in the conference!

Short week - get some rest, heal up and get ready for Thursday. I was talking to all of you fans, because these games take a lot out of us. LFG!!!
