Tuck Rule Takes

Everything is bad. We break it all down. Enjoy our misery. 

The Patriots are BACK on the winning side of things finally! After a 27-13 W over the Murray-less Cardinals, the Tuck Rule Boys have a lot to talk about. The forefront of that convo is defense. Marcus Jones and Josh Uche looked like absolute STUDS as the defense stifled Arizona all second half. And how about Mac Jones? When the kid has time to throw, good things happen! Also, the look ahead to next weeks showdown against a familiar face. All that and more on this week's episode!

Things are bad for the Patriots right now. After a crushing loss to the Bills at home, the season and playoff hopes are on the verge of going bye bye. The Tuck Rule Boys are here to talk about it all. Buckle up, this isn't a fun one. 

The Patriots served their fans some Thanksgiving heartbreak this year as they lose 33-26 to the Vikings. Whether it was missed calls, bad calls or simply bad play, there is a TON to break down here. Joined yet again by Big Al, the guys dive into the Minnesota game by starting with Mac Jones' great performance. That leads to the ever-present conversation about Matt Patricia and how his offense has looked this season. And how much blame should he really be getting? This debate gets a bit heated. Also, while it's never good to blame officiating for a loss...don't you kind of HAVE to put some of it on the officiating in this game? Lastly, the biggest game of the season is rapidly approaching as the Bills come to town on Thursday. The guys give their takes on that contest and who they think it going to pull out the win. Spoiler alert: the Red Jersey's get brought up. All that and more on this weeks jam packed episode!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! The Tuck Rule Boys are back with special guest Big Al to wax poetically over the trouncing that occurred this weekend. The Patriots demolished the Jets offense in what can only be described as the most impressive defensive showing all year by the team. Matthew Judon was an absolute menace again and needs to be in the discussion for DPOY. Also, was this Mac Jones' best game this season? All that and more on this week's episode!

The Patriots defense put on a clinic against the Colts this weekend. Tallying 9 sacks, it was the D that won this game for New England. But the offense still left a ton to be desired. What's the worry level for Pats fans when it comes to the offensive side of the ball? The Tuck Rule Boys break all that down and look ahead to the AFC playoff picture heading into the Bye. All that and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode of Tuck Rule Takes, the guys break down the big Divisional win against the Jets. What does it mean moving forward? How good do you or should you feel about it? And just how good is this defense? Then they discuss next weeks game against the Colts at home. They also look ahead to what the AFC Playoff picture could look like and how the rest of the season may shake out for the Pats. All that and more on this weeks episode!

You know what we're here to talk about. The Patriots got demoralized by the Bears in a Primetime game. Mac Jones was back (kinda) but it didn't matter. Zappe came in and showed everyone that he's still a rookie. The defense couldn't get off the field. The special teams became a weak spot. Coaching sucked. There aren't many bright spots in this one, so let's get into it. 

The New England Patriots just skull bleeped the Browns and all people can talk about is this damn QB controversy and Zappe fever. Not the fact that Bill Beilchick is now tied with George Halas for the second most wins all time as an NFL head coach. Definitely not the fact that this team is rounding into shape just like they always do every single year. And certainly not a peep about great this defense has played in part due to Jack Jones developing into a better corner than JC Jackson this season. NOPE. WE WANT QB CONTROVERSY. So of course, the guys talk about this nonsensical QB controversy this episode. But they also review the throttling of the Browns that took place over the weekend as well. Also, have the last 3 drafts been some of Belichick's top drafts since he's been with the Patriots? And why is Isaiah Wynn still getting meaningful snaps on this team? Lastly, they preview the Bears game on Monday Night and give their Gamebreakers as well. All that and much more on a passionate episode of Tuck Rule Takes!

The Patriots destroyed the Lions this week and the Tuck Rule Boys are here to talk about it. Holding the top rated offense to 0 points is huge and Matt Judon continued to be a huge reason for the defensive success. Also, the emergence of Jack Jones may be turning the Pats secondary into a strength moving forward. There was also TWO breaking news stories before the guys recorded: Damien Harris being out and Lil'Jordan Humphrey being waived. How big will Harris' absence be? And how upset are you about the Humphrey news? Lastly, the guys break down a rather lackluster upcoming game against the Browns. All that and more!
