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. Speaking to reporters Monday, the Patriots coach didn’t say that an outside move to […]

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 Patriots center and captain gave a vote of support for his head coach following the 10-7 loss that dropped the team to 2-9 on […]

Head coach Bill Belichick tried to pinpoint the issues his team is dealing with after another dreadful performance from the New England Patriots on offense, specifically from Belichick’s options at quarterback. After Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe both got a crack at sparking the offense in a 10-7 loss to the New York Giants, Belichick […]

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. However, it sounds like this is part of Bill Belichick’s master plan. During the postgame press conference, the Patriots head coach claimed that he thought both Jones and Zappe deserved playing […]

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. Mac Jones started for the team in Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts, but the 25-year-old quarterback was benched in favor of Bailey Zappe late in the contest following an […]

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. Even though the Patriots are favored to win Sunday’s game, there are still several questions surrounding them in a matchup that I’m calling “The […]

What’s going on with the New England Patriots? Once upon a time, the Patriots were considered the benchmark of greatness in the NFL. However, this season has been nothing short of a disaster. The biggest concern fans have right now is their QB situation. Who even is starting for the Pats at QB? Will it […]

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. While the veteran player opened up last week about why he was left home during the team’s Week 10 trip to Germany to face the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots’ notoriously guarded coach […]

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. In fact, Belichick just told Adam Schefter of ESPN that he has every quarterback on the roster expecting to be ready to play. Asked this morning […]

It is hard to imagine the New England Patriots not being coached by Bill Belichick, but rumors have already started making their rounds about a looming breakup between the legendary coach and one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. Belichick won six Super Bowls in a 17 -year span with the Patriots alongside quarterback Tom Brady. Brady […]

Jack Jones’ tumultuous year and a half with the New England Patriots came to an end just a week ago, when the Patriots released their 2022 fourth-round pick after a string of disappointing developments both on and off the field. In the days following his release, Jones signed with the Las Vegas Raiders and when […]

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. Between the losing streak, the Bill Belichick rumors, and the whole quarterback situation, New Engalnd is a far cry from the dynasty that tormented the NFL for nearly two decades. This Staurday, the Patriots added […]

New country, same bad New England Patriots. After a Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Frankfurt, Germany, questions about head coach Bill Belichick’s job security are only increasing. Asked if the speculation about his future with the team he has coached for over 20 seasons bothers him, Belichick told the media “Well, I […]

It has been a brutal season for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. After dropping their game in Frankfort, Germany to the Indianapolis Colts by a 10-6 margin, the Pats have fallen to 2-8 and own the worst record in the AFC. The head coach lamented his team’s performance after the loss to the […]

Pictures like this one really do say a thousand words. Unfortunately for Bill Belichick, though, football fans across the globe already knew what depressingly dire straits the New England Patriots were in before his emoji-come-to-life facepalm went viral following an ugly loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. What was Bill Belichick thinking here? 🤔pic.twitter.com/HpDu6fXzIr […]

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. […]

The New England Patriots played an ugly game on Sunday morning as they lost to the Indianapolis Colts 10-6. It was a mess throughout the entire contest and nothing went right for Bill Belichick’s squad. Many are losing faith in Belichick’s abilities as a head coach, despite the fact he’s a future Hall of Famer. […]

It is hard to imagine the New England Patriots not being coached by Bill Belichick, but rumors have already started making their rounds about a looming breakup between the legendary football tactician and one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. Such a breakup would cause massive waves across the NFL, and while it […]

The partnership between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft has lasted nearly twenty-four years, but all signs point to the New England Patriots parting ways with Belichick before he and Kraft could reach their silver anniversary. Sometimes even the marriages that seem certain to last forever abruptly come to an end, but as you often hear […]

J.C. Jackson didn’t make the trip to Germany with the New England Patriots and won’t play in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, but Bill Belichick made it sound like the corner won’t be off the field for long. Not long after the Patriots landed in Germany on Friday, Belichick told reporters that he expects […]

The New England Patriots 2023 campaign has been a complete and utter mess, and all eyes are on Bill Belichick as we enter Week 10 of the 2023 campaign. Considering how the Pats are 2-7 through their first nine games, it should come as no surprise that Belichick is firmly on the hot seat, and […]

If Robert Kraft decides he wants to move on from Bill Belichick, he seems to have a dream scenario on who he wants to be the New England Patriots’ next head coach and general manager. Kraft’s two “home run hires” to replace both of Belichick’s roles would be Mike Vrabel as the Patriots’ next head […]

Bill Belichick’s 24 seasons as the head coach of the New England Patriots is the fifth-longest tenure of any coach with any team in NFL history, trailing only George Halas (40 seasons with Chicago), Curly Lambeau (29 seasons with Green Bay), Tom Landry (29 seasons with Dallas), and Don Shula (26 seasons with Miami). He’s […]

After a Week 9 loss to the Washington Commanders where the offense sputtered once again, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked about the inactive status of rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, who has yet to record a catch this season despite all the issues New England has had at wide receiver this […]

Bill Belichick gave Kayshon Boutte a strong vote of confidence as the rookie wide receiver appears likely to be back on the field for the New England Patriots on Sunday. Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, Belichick said that Boutte’s had a strong week on the practice field after Kendrick Bourne and Devante […]

If the Washington Commanders are actually interested in making Bill Belichick their next head coach, the New England Patriots should not only listen to their inquiry, but they should also try to facilitate a trade to make it happen. In case you’re wondering why that’s even a sentence to begin with, there’s apparently chatter in […]

Bill Belichick is undoubtedly one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history. That said, things may have run their course with Belichick at the helm of the New England Patriots. But while a parting of ways may be best for all involved, Pats owner Robert Kraft isn’t likely to fire his legendary coach. If […]

In Week 9, the New England Patriots will host the Washington Commanders. According to some within the NFL, it would give the Commanders an up-close look at the man they are interested in bringing in as their head coach for 2024. Not the case, according to NBC4 Sports’ JP Finlay. There is “no truth” to […]

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots deciding to not make a move. The Patriots’ decision to stand pat isn’t necessarily unexpected, but it’s certainly a bit of a head-scratcher considering the things they could’ve and should’ve done. Josh Uche, Kyle Dugger and Michael Onwenu were […]

The New England Patriots found themselves in a tricky situation as the NFL trade deadline approached. The Patriots’ poor record and conference standing marked them as sellers at the deadline. However, Head Coach Bill Belichick may not have been committed to a rebuild yet. Ezekiel Elliott and Mac Jones are both still on the team […]

The New England Patriots are officially at the bottom of the AFC following their 31-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Patriots dropped to 2-6 with their falling in Week 8, making them the only team in the conference to have fewer than three wins as they stare down the barrel of their […]

Well, that was quick. After restoring a glimmer of hope among fans, the New England Patriots resumed their descent into despair with a 31-17 road loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday afternoon. Bill Belichick, however, was not focusing solely on the outcome of the game when speaking to WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show […]

Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins defended their top spot in the AFC East with a Week 8 victory over the New England Patriots. In the process, Tagovailoa extended his undefeated streak against Bill Belichick. Miami came away with a 31-17 win, moving their record to 6-2 on the season. The victory moved Tagovailoa’s personal […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster’s return to the New England Patriots’ lineup in their Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins was a bit of a crazy one. The Patriots wide receiver didn’t play until the fourth quarter following injuries to DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne. He ended up playing a big role in his first drive of […]
