Guess who won? Won again? Patriots. Tell a friend...who isn't a Pats fan so you can watch them get angry. That part didn't rhyme - but oh baby it must be annoying for the rest of the league to see the Patriots have any success - never mind the fact that they've now won five gives in a row and lead the division at 6-2.

There's still a long way to go - but I love seeing what this team is becoming. Hopefully this is only the beginning....

Ho hum, the Patriots played a road game. The Patriots won a road game. It's exciting when things go how you expect them to! Even though I had to listen to the first half of the game, I got to enjoy the second half from a South Carolina motel room - where all good things happen.

Four wins in a row. Three road wins in a row. Back home for next week's game - that goes for me and your first place New England Patriots...

Three in a row! An actual winning streak! For the first time in three years! This wasn't perfect - and they all know they can play better, but winning football teams find ways to win. And today they did just thanks to some spectacular play from their quarterback. Ride the Drake Wave baby!!!

I really should be sleeping. But after the biggest win in years for the Patriots, how CAN you sleep?

The Patriots went into Buffalo, did not play a perfect game - but played a complete came - and leave withe a victory. Leave with a winning record. Leave with a winning streak. And leave with a statement made to the next of the year.

Drake Maye is here. Stefon Diggs is still here. The Patriots are for real.

What a rollercoaster this season has been so far! Frustrating loss after exciting win! And nothing is more exciting to me than a decisive Patriots blowout victory!

It was a little scary early on - but things were in control by halftime, which is good because I had to watch the 2nd have on delay....I talk about why in this very special fireside chat episode of Patriots Afterthoughts.

The crap was just a disaster. Sloppy jalopy! The Steelers were begging for the Patriots to win this game! The Pats turnover the ball FIVE times - and still had a chance to go down the field at the end of the game to either tie or win the game.

Such a mess. They clean up those fundamentals and they might have something. But not today. Oofa boofa. Not today.

The Patriots are in the win column! The Patriots won in Miami! The Patriots finally beat Tua! The Patriots scored over 30 points! Sure, it wasn't perfect and there is work to be done - but come on, how can you not feel happy and excited after that a win! After that win!

Now build on it Patriots! Build on it!

The last time I did anything for this podcast, the Patriots just won themselves out of the first overall draft pick and Mayo coached himself out of a job. Flash forward 8 months and there's a lot more hope with Mike Vrabel in charge...And then they come out and put up 13 points.

13 points.

Well, on the bright side - after today, they'll either be tied for 2nd place or tied for 1st place.

Hooray!

Not a great day for the Patriots. Sure they won. I feel good for the players who were out there and were able to come away with a win - even if it was against the Bills backups. There were a lot of the Patriots backups out there too. They want to play. They want to win.

It was most of us fans that did NOT want them to win. The Patriots went from having the first overall draft pick in the 2025 NFL draft to falling down to the 4th pick. Will that come back to bite them? Only time will tell. But whoever gets picked by the Pats this year, there will be a different head coach leading them into the 2025 season as Jerod Mayo was fired after the game today.

I like Mayo. I've always been a fan of Mayo. It just didn't work. We'll see where things go from here, but for this season - the Patriots, and this podcast, is done.

I'm sure you'll hear from me when they announce the new coach - and after the draft - but other than that - Happy New Year, see you next season - and Go Pats!

I like Mayo. I’ve always been a fan of Mayo. It just didn’t work. We’ll see where things go from here, but for this season – the Patriots, and this podcast, is done.

I’m sure you’ll hear from me when they announce the new coach – and after the draft – but other than that – Happy New Year, see you next season – and Go Pats!
