Patriots Afterthoughts - A New England Patriots Fan Podcast

Two weeks off and this is the best they could do? Pretty awful all around - except for Drake...Must focus on Drake...

Two weeks off and this is the best they could do? Pretty awful all around – except for Drake…Must focus on Drake…

Well that sucked. But I guess that's what happens when you go up against a coach who has the balls to go for all the marbles - win or lose - on one play...Instead of playing for the tie like you know who.

At least Thanksgiving was nice.

Oofa boofa, that was some bad football. Offense. Defense. Special Teams. Coaching. The Patriots were Outwitted, outplayed, outlasted by the Dolphins.

Should any of the coaches be voted off? Did I just make two Survivor references? And do those references have NOTHING to do with this episode?

Yes.

The night wasn’t a total loss though, we went out after and had some delicious holiday fun…

Happy Sunday Patriots fans! It was a close on there for a bit. They had their moments - and even had a chance to go win the game. Drake looked good but also made some rookie mistakes that you had to expect would pop up here and there. Even with a loss, I cam out of it with one feeling. Hope.

And hunger for pulled pork sandwiches I'd been making all day. I blame the hunger on getting the games/record wrong.

Happy Sunday Patriots fans! It's that time of year again where I am driving my mother-in-law down to Florida. Today we stopped in South Carolina for the night. I was able to listen to half the game through the SiriusXM app and then watch half the game from my laptop in the motel room (don't has me how.)

Very excited for the Patriots win - and even more excited that tomorrow is my last day of driving. Go Pats!

Well. That was a frustrating game that almost turned into an amazing game. Patriots lose - Drake makes a few rookie mistakes, but he also pulls off an amazing play at the end of regulation to tie the game...Or to go for the win if Mayo went for two. Sigh.

Remember that time where I said "I'd give up my gallbladder to see the Patriots beat the Jets?" Okay, I never actually said that - but it still happened...I talk about that, the nice win for the Patriots today, and the hopes that Drake May is fine and will be good to go as soon as possible.

Today though - gotta give the credit to Jacoby Brissett. Job well done!

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Patriots lose. Their sixth loss in a row. Drake Maye looked good again. Some nice bright spots, some rookie mistakes, but all-in-all he seems to be the one positive thing we can grasp on to as Patriots fans....So - top 5 draft pick again?

Another game. Another loss. The defense gave up the most points they have all season - but the offense scored the most points they have all season. There was a lot of ugly, ugly play out there and a lot of mistakes made - but Drake Maye threw for over 230 yards and for 3 touchdowns. That is the silver lining that we can hopefully use to start making the clouds that hover over this team smaller and smaller each week.

Go Pats.
