They're a lifeless football team begging to be put out of its misery, and the Patriots have no excuse but to oblige them.

Although there is optimism over what we saw with the quarterback, this wasn't exactly the way I would've expected them to lose this one...

They're definitely getting healthier which is good, but just like with San Francisco being hurt in Week 4, Houston is still a WAGON.

If for nothing else, I'm glad we know there's a way to catch a ball with two feet in and still have the catch ruled incomplete.

This will certainly be a football game, but it will not be a very good one.

This is a game by the sickos, for the sickos.

Are rookies making an impact? On a Kyle Shanahan-led team with Super Bowl aspirations? In THIS economy?

This season is starting to slip away from them fast, and with the injuries really taking their toll, it may get worse before it gets better.

If I had said not to take the 49ers, you would assume I would have the 49ers winning by less than 10.

Needless to say, I feel that this San Fran team isn't in the greatest of moods and has every reason to put on a statement performance.

This is now three straight games in which Brissett has been pressured at least 13 times and sacked more than he was in Weeks 1-2 combined.

Can New England do right by legions of Jets fans and that fraud Fireman Ed and remind them who they cheer for?

Sunday's contest with Seattle marked a very winnable game for the Patriots, who once again dominated the line of scrimmage in the run game..

While this is a fun time to reflect on Super Bowl 49 with Malcolm Butler in town, Seattle is as much in a new era as the Patriots are.

The numbers don't lie, and they spelled disaster for the Bengals in Week 1.

I don't think football fans realize how good this defense is/can be, even without Matt Judon or Christian Barmore.

So my No. 1 question for Jerod Mayo would be this: What does "Patriot Football" mean in 2024?

I believe if you're going to take a tackle with a Top-75 draft pick, you owe it to yourself to give him a shot.

Judon has been nominated to the Pro Bowl four times, named to one All-Pro team, and was mentioned as a DPOY candidate in 2022.

While this trade is a good long-term move for this franchise, you wish things had ended differently.
