Week 4: Pats/Cowboys

     


    The New England Patriots have just been dealt the worst loss of Bill Belichicks career. The Patriots went down to AT&T stadium and got absolutely PANTSED by the Dallas Cowboys. The Patriots put up 3 points in the thrashing and never once looked to be in a position to have a say in the matter other than the first drive of the game. The Patriots got destroyed, the final score was 38-3 the team looks to have taken steps back and are possibly worse than they were last year. If matters could not get any worse the Patriots two best players have gone down with injuries indefinitely. Star Edge Rusher Matthew Judon went down with a bicep tear. He hopes to return to the team as soon as he can he will likely miss at least the next two months of the season. Rookie sensation and defense player of the year candidate Christian Gonzales ; Cornerback went down with a dislocated shoulder injury, he could possibly miss the rest of the season aswell. So if this loss could not get any worse the best players on the Patriots have now gone down, it will take what looks like at this point.. a miracle for the New England Patriots to make the playoffs.

    The stable last season for the New England offense was Rhamondre Stevenson, there are questions of why it looks that he has taken a step back so far this season. It feels that Ezekiel Elliot has outperformed him every week. This should not be the case. With his struggles means more is asked of the Pass game and now we have to look at Mac Jones and his performance in this game. This was the first game where it looked like Mac had been a full on liability to the Patriots offense in an NFL game. For his entire career Mac had never been so good that he would win a game for the Patriots he was also never so bad that he would cost the Patriots a game. That was until this week, Mac Jones was a liability he was shook the Dallas Cowboys made him afraid out there. Don't get me wrong I hate having to write about this but the state of the team may be at an all time low. Mac Jones had a terrible fumble along with two interceptions that would lead to touchdowns for the Dallas Cowboys. There should have been 3 picks thrown but it just looked that Jones had been forcing throws and plays that just were not there. The question becomes even stronger now after this game... Is Mac Jones the next franchise Quarterback for the New England Patriots... is he the Guy?

    When it comes down to Mac Jones it is year 3 and this is most likely his last shot with the Patriots if they cannot re write the ship and steer into contention for a playoff spot. He was so bad in this game that he got benched for Bailey Zappe again who has just shown that he is not even on the same level as Mac. Someone to keep your eyes on is Will Greer who the Patriots recently picked up. If Will Greer starts seeing snaps or Malik Cunningham then Mac Jones career with the New England Patriots is most likely finished. When it comes to Mac he was a first round pick and when you select a quarterback at the top of the first round he needs to elevate the players around him... as opposed to the Brock Purdy experience in San Francisco where the entire roster is built out around him and he has the game of the NFL on easy mode,. 

    The New England Patriots have fallen to 1-3 on the season last week we mentioned on the Bay State Pats Recap that the Jets were a hair away from defeating the Patriots so it really was close to the Pats falling to 0-4. Neverminded if Aaron Rodgers was playing the Pats would be easily 0-4 at this point. Alas the New England Patriots host the New Orleans Saints and most likely Jameis Winston due to the Derek Carr injury. The Patriots two best players will not be in this game so it will not be an easy win I see it being a very close game. The Patriots have no other choice this week. The MUST  win this Sunday. The Pats have one of the hardest schedules in the league and they have a stretch here where it is light. The New Orleans Saints in Foxborough need to lose. There is no other way about it. Kickoff is at 1pm its a must win...

Red Sox Through the Month of March

       The Boston Red Sox started off their 2025 regular season campaign on March 27th against the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. The Sox had lofty expectations headed into the Regular Season. Notable additions being super star left handed pitcher Garret Crochet, 2 time World Series champion Walker Buehler and Houston Astros super star 3rrd baseman Alex Bregman.     The Boston Red Sox put up a fantastic showing on opening day with a 5 inning performance from Garret Crochet giving up 2 earned and 5 hits. Not the strongest but with Garret Whitlock in the rotation the Red Sox were able to weather the Ranger offense until the dynamic duo of Kristian Campbell and Wilyer Abreu showed up and showed out. Kampbell in the late innings came up huge with competitive at bats leading to his first base hit and and set up walk. Abreu made the noise on opening night with a pair of homer runs including the game winner in the 8th inning.     While opening...

Week 1 Pats/Bengals

Image
          The NFL season has kicked off with the New England Patriots heading into the Jungle, Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio. The Patriots started the week as the biggest underdog in the slate of NFL games this week. I am no gambler but to the loyal Foxboro faithful, congratulations on cashing in on a major upset. Yes the New England Patriots coming off a 4-13 season went into Paycor and upset the 2022 AFC Championship winner,     Honestly the absence of Mac Jones under center cannot be understated. Jacoby Brissett is not behind the best offensive line in the league. Most would argue that on paper they are one of if not THE worst unit in the league. Brissett under pressure made some clutch throws. Hanging in the pocket and making some big time throws to players such as Austin Hooper who led the team in receiving guards with 31 yards. Along with Tyquan Thornton and KJ Osborne who went for 27 and 21 yards respectively. The offense undoubtedly ha...

Landslide on Lansdowne!

             The 40-42 Boston Red Sox had lofty expectations going into the 2025 Major League Baseball season. After key free agency signings of Alex Bregman, Walker Buehler, and Aroldis Chapman, trading for Superstar Left hander Garret Crochet, the return of Garret Whitlock, and Trevor Story, the Boston Red Sox had immense buzz, and optimism leading into the Regular Season. With Juan Soto leaving the division, and Gerrit Cole going down with a Tommy John surgery in early March, the path was paved for not only a Wild Card berth, but even competition for the division. The soap opera that has been the Boston Baseball Red Sox have shown anything but competitiveness for the American League East Division.      The major story of this season rides along the story of 3rd baseman Rafael Devers, and the dramatics of him giving up his position to make room for superstar free agent signing Alex Bregman. Rafael Devers was a brat during this process,...
