Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots find themselves in an awfully unfamiliar position.

It is abundantly clear that the New England Patriots are in need of a new quarterback. If Bill Belichick is still coaching the Patriots in 2024, he already has a QB plan in mind. Jimmy Garoppolo is being viewed as a potential 2024 QB option by the Patriots, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. New England […]

The Mac Jones era in New England has been nothing short of disappointing. It hasn’t been officially announced that his reign as the starter is over, but Jones is certainly not the franchise quarterback. Head coach Bill Belichick may continue starting Jones and Baily Zappe on separate occasions, but following this season the Patriots will […]

Things seem to keep getting worse for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. After suffering a 6-0 loss in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, where the offense looked historically bad, the team lost one of its only bright spots on that side of the ball. The Rhamondre Stevenson injury update is that […]

When the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick entered the 2023 season, they assumed they’d be chasing the late Don Shula’s all-time wins record. After another dreadful loss Sunday, the crumbling Patriots and their legendary head coach look down the barrel of a much more unsightly mark. According to a social media post […]

The New England Patriots made the worst kind of history in their 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. For the third straight game, the Patriots allowed 10 points or fewer but still lost. It marks the first time since 1938 that a team has managed to allow 10 points or fewer […]

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich was fired on Sunday night by owner David Tepper just 11 games into his tenure as the head of the NFC South squad. The move came after the Panthers lost to the Tennessee Titans 17-10 in Week 12 to drop them to 1-10 on the season. Now, Panthers legend Cam […]

Now, former Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich is the second casualty of the NFL coaches to be fired this season, along with former Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels. This all came just 11 games into Reich’s tenure after being fired from the Indianapolis Colts last year. The Panthers are an NFL worst 1-11, […]

The New England Patriots quarterback situation is a mess. Mac Jones is not playing well at all, and his backup, Bailey Zappe, is just as bad if not worse. Heading into the Patriots Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, Bill Belichick is looking for an answer at QB anywhere he can find it, […]

Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan did not hold back when he eviscerated Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots amid the AFC East team’s tumultuous 2023 campaign. For Ryan, the Pats’ dynasty was always more about legendary Tom Brady and less about Belichick, an opinion he bluntly expressed recently. “This team plays like they’re […]

The New England Patriots season continues to trend downward with the latest slide coming at the hands of the New York Giants. The Patriots lost 10-7 on Sunday, losing back-to-back games in which they allowed only 10 points. The Patriots offense has not done much of anything this season so New England has to take […]

The New England Patriots quarterback situation looked even bleaker in their loss to the New York Giants as Mac Jones was benched again and Bailey Zappe failed to impress, possibly leaving the door open for Bill Belichick to make a move.

The New England Patriots took another step towards cementing their status as the worst team in the NFL for the 2023 season in Week 12 when they lost a battle of mediocrity with the New York Giants by a score of 10-7. After losing 10-6 to the Indianapolis Colts back in Week 10 prior to […]

The New England Patriots were so close to redeeming themselves against the New York Giants. Bill Belichick’s schematics got them within striking distance and just a single field goal away from heading into extra time. Pressure does tend to come on the shoulders of a kicker in these situations and Chad Ryland was no exception. […]

Bill Belichick’s hot seat with the New England Patriots might have grown even hotter following their loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, but David Andrews has his pick.

The New England Patriots had another disaster of a game after losing 10-7 to the New York Giants. Mac Jones was noticeably benched again.

It looks like the New England Patriots have made a decision with regards to their starting quarterback for Week 12 against the New York Giants.

The New England Patriots are fresh off their bye week and probably have their most winnable game left this season when they take on the New York Giants in Week 12.

True to form, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is staying mum on the team’s discipline of cornerback J.C. Jackson this season.

When it comes to New England Patriots defensive player J.C. Jackson, it’s been a tumultuous past couple of weeks. He’s been benched in the game against the Washington Commanders and has been seen in the injury report as out due to “personal reasons.” While that designation is always broad and can mean anything, Jackson himself […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is still not revealing his team’s starter under center in the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants on the road.

After benching quarterback Mac Jones late in the fourth quarter of the New England Patriots’ 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, coach Bill Belichick would not say if Jones will remain the starter going forward. “We have a lot of things to work on this week as a team,” Belichick said. “We’ll work through those. […]

I can’t even fathom what the response would be if it were to come to fruition. The Dallas Cowboys, “America’s Team,” the most valuable franchise in all of sports that is desperate for a Super Bowl title after nearly a thirty year draught, being coached by Bill Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl champion hot on […]

Oh, the New England Patriots. The team is a big, hot pile of mess right now, if we’re being honest.

After 58 minutes of watching quarterback Mac Jones miss multiple throws, hold onto the ball for far too long, throw a back-breaking interception late in the 4th quarter, and do nothing at all to inspire any sort of confidence that he could competently handle an end-of-game two minute drill, Bill Belichick had officially seen enough. […]
