Patriots Afterthoughts - A New England Patriots Fan Podcast

Let’s just try to forget that this happened. Let’s try to forget they’ve now lost two games in a row. Let’s try to forget that in the past week they’ve let the AFC top seed and AFC East lead go. Let’s try to forget how their offense hasn’t looked that great and their defense looks beatable. Let’s just focus on the Jaguars and the chance to get into the playoffs with two games to go. Yeah, let’s focus on that.

Too little too late for the Pats. You can't dig yourself a hole that big and expect to come out of it on top - even if there was hope for a moment. Some costly special teams mistakes as well as some bad offense put the Patriots behind to the point where everything needed to go right in the 4th quarter for them to possibly win. It didn't. They didn't. We're on to Buffalo.

Turns out my heart must be stronger than I thought. My Fitbit kept telling me my heart rate was going up, but nothing exploded and I am safe and sound and ready for bed. But more important than my health - the Patriots beat the Bills in Buffalo to expand their lead in the AFC East and remain the #1 seed overall in the AFC with 4 games left to play. It was a game of wind and runs. A game of defense. A game where Mac was not put in any position to make mistakes. And it was a win. Most of all - and really the only thing that matters - it was a win! Enjoy the bye week!

Another week, another victory. The Patriots came back home after a mini-bye and took care of business against the top ranked, and pretty banged up, Tennesse Titans with a decisive 36-13 victory. Mac threw 2 TDs, Judon had a sack. JC had a pick. Business as usual. And now we’re on the to the Bills! But let’s enjoy this one for at least the rest of the day! Go Pats!

hows up as much as they did tonight in the first patriots shutout of the season. This moves the Pats one game ahead of the Bills in the win column, at least until Sunday, and it helps the Pats inch closer to possibly making the playoffs. But let's not get ahead ourselves. Enjoy a nice Sunday off, have a great Thanksgiving, and then we're on to Tennessee! Go Pats!

Nobody saw this coming. Sure, did people think the Patriots could or would win? Absolutely. But I don't think there is a person out there who saw the absolute destruction the Pats would bring upon Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns. I apologize for the delay in getting this one out - I recorded it Sunday night and well....no excuses. Go Pats! See you tomorrow!

The hottest team in the AFC East is back with another win! That makes 3 in a row as the defense once again made Sam Darnold believe in ghosts! Three interceptions, including one for a touchdown really made the difference in this game where the offense did just enough to help secure 24-6 win over the Carolina Panthers. One game out of 1st in the loss column, and we're on to Cleveland!

Happy Halloween! It would seem the Patriots are leaving Los Angeles with more treats than tricks as they climb back to the .500 mark for the first time since week 2. They remain perfect on the road and now have a two game winning streak. You really couldn't ask for more today - unless you want more peanut butter cups. That I cannot help you with.

Oops! I recorded this Sunday after watching the game late (without any spoilers) and did not put it up until today. My bad. Sorry for ruining your week. But, hey the Pats won! I mean sure it was the Jets, but who cares - it was just nice to see a decisive blowout - and it's always good to beat the Jets.

A few days late this week (even though I recorded it right after the game). That was a brutal loss to a very entertaining game. Entertaining right up until the effing ending....Patriots lose and are now 2-4. And winless at home!? Hopefully the Jets can fix that. Hopefully.
