Patriots Afterthoughts - A New England Patriots Fan Podcast

Oh brother. The Patriots lose again, but for a while there they made a game of it and showed that they can hang and they can play offense - but they gotta stop with the dumb mistakes! And the terrible turnovers!

And most importantly - let's all hope Mac Jones is okay! We're on to Green Bay....

Well okay, that's more like it! Was it perfect? Was it flawless? Nope. Does that matter? Nope. What's important to me is getting a win, having some success, and building on that for next week when they finally play at home. But hey, it's always good to win on the road and it's always good to beat the Steelers.

There really is nothing good about this episode. The sound quality was terrible. The music choice was terrible - and even worse the game that I somewhat discuss was terrible.

Just terrible all around - Enjoy!

Once again the offense didn't look very good. It had small moments - moments that maybe could have been built on in a full game - but for the most part it was nothing to be excited about. And of course the local media can't wait to tweet or for you to be the 7th caller to crap all over them.

You can probably tell during this episode I wasn't all that excited to be talking about a meaningless, sloppy, final preseason game loss. On top of that I had to leave to go take my brother's dogs out and then a headache comes on. So...yay.

At the very least we can say - the f'n preseason is over with. The games that matter are just a couple weeks away. Until then - Go Pats!

Have you ever asked yourself - what would it sound like if there was a podcast about the Patriots where the host knew next to nothing, seemed overly tired, and oh yeah - it was another meaningless preseason game? If you have well boy oh boy do we have the podcast for you!

PATRIOTS WIN! THEEEEEE PATRIOTS WIN!

I'm baaaaack. Back to talk about a team I love. Back to speak with the passion of a fan, not with the hot takes of some radio host craving attention. I know barely anybody listens and I STILL do it. I even show up for the preseason! If that's not love, then what is? Oh and the Giants beat the Pats...

The Patriots were in the playoffs for about 10 minutes and then it all went to hell. The defense was horrendous and the offense couldn't keep up. There were a lot of moments to be happy about this season and a lot to make you feel good about the future. Today was not one of those moments. They sucked. See you next season.

What a way to bookend an overall successful season - with two disappointing losses to the Dolphins! And while the Miami Football Team is done for the season and your favorite Patriots are on their way back to Buffalo - it would've been nice to win this one. But they didn't. We're on to Buffalo.

Now that's what I call a win! Yes the Jaguars are terrible, and they have a lot of players on the COVID reserve list - but to see the Patriots just utterly dominate from beginning to end was a nice way to start the new year. And of course....PLAYOFFS!

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.
