Patriots 2025-26 Schedule Released

[Triumph]

I live in Cincinnati and am thinking of going depending on ticket prices. Should be a good game. Quick recommendations:

Residence Inn/The Phelps has a great rooftop bar with solid view, great to visit (I've never stayed there, though)

Sleepy Bee for breakfast, just be sure to get there close to open. Worth it.

Mita's for Spanish & Latin American fare, tapas and ceviche (nice dinner option), Nada is a good comp and can be more casual.

Sotto for the only legit, but truly top shelf Italian in Cincinnati (again, nice dinner - definitely need reservations, but can still keep the bill reasonable).

Findlay Market is a great walk-around, sample everything kinda spot.

SUndry and Vice is a good bar, as is The Lackmann, then stuff on the banks is typical sports bar vibes.

Happy to give more recommendations, I used to work at a magazine here and have spent a lot of time getting familiar with the area! Everything I listed is within the downtown area's railcar loop (and therefore, the downside is, they're not exactly cheap).

Thank you.

Just what I need. I was pretty pixxed at Marriot bending me and my cousin over on their parking scam.

What's with a Chili (not Chilis) restaurant on every corner?

I think that's a big assumption. The things I am looking for is winning the LoS on both sides, playing mental error free, winning the time of possession battle and improvement in third down efficiency and red zone efficiency. I think having a top 10 offense is predicated on top skill players, IE; RB, WR, and TE. I think they'll be able to run the ball, and that, to your point, opens up so much more.

There was a cliche years ago that the first team to 20 points was going to win, at least when it came to Pats games. I think that's going to be key this year. I think this defense should be able to old opponents down in the upper teens and low 20s often, so they won't have to score a **** ton to get them ranked higher in overall offensive ranking. A top defense and an efficient offense that doesn't turn the ball over is a winning formula.

I don’t think that's alot to ask. You have to consider coaching , QB, the roster. are all improved. To your points the LOS that is exactly what im getting at. The running game is what will open up the offense. Ownenu, Moses and Campbell are all road graders in the run game.

each back offers a different skill set.. rham, Gibby and Henderson all will play big roles. Go back and look at 2021 with Mac as a rookie we had a top ten offense. That is absolutely attainable this season.

At WR we haven't had a guy like diggs and his route running since Edelman. Also we have good TEs as well.

The defense is deep, talented and hungry.. guys have taken on Vrabel's personality.

Nevermind this ramp up period of taking a month or two.. they need to come and set the stage week 1 against the Raiders from there on out.

I'm guessing we whip the Raiders 30-17.

Yes, I'm a homer

What's with a Chili (not Chilis) restaurant on every corner?

Goldstar and Skyline duke it out over who has the best (Greek style) chili (Most in Cincinnati prefer Skyline, I suggest getting it on a coney first and NOT a three-way w/spaghetti), then every neighborhood has some ******* who decided to charge $7-10 more for their "farm to table" version.

I would argue, and wouldn't be surprised if there was a ""study"" confirming, that the single most sent item to people who formerly lived in cincy is a can of Skyline chili.

I'll try and put out feelers to my football buddies and see if they know of a good hotel that is fair with parking. I got blasted in Chicago on that once, it's the worst.

 

[Pape]

I have them at 4 loses.
Ravens, Bills, dolphins, and last game of the season.. we will have made a playoff berth so the final game won't really matter much.

until we actually beat him, got to think Tua will sweep us again...

Totally different defense and philosophy.. vrables defensive schemes are designed to take away what offenses like Miami like to do. The defense will force him to check down. Lock down the perimeter and and check it down. But your right seeing is believing..

Too funny.

Yeah, thats the deal with all these cooking shows now. Select ingredients from certain farmers. I cant tell the difference.

Not surprised. Its Taylor ham for NJ/NY transplants. I suppose Mass and NE would have to be seafood.

Thanks.

My cousin was upper management IRS so he did the hotel and I took care of the tickets. The Covington Marriot scam was every time you left the parking garage you had to pay to get back in and there was virtually no street parking.

Yes, as patriots fans we've had to be forced to witness suck for the past few years.. it time to get back to winning. I'm reasonably optimistic. Last season was false optimism.

 

[captain stone]

As will the Billdos.

 

[TommyD4207]

I'm not sure he's not in the top 10 already

One win and more turnovers than touchdowns, and can't consistently stay on the field is enough to keep him out of the top 10.

 

[TommyD4207]

As will the Billdos.

Bold, considering they haven't done that in a while.

 

[Triumph]

 

[Triumph]

As will the Billdos.

Depends on that horrid Buffalo defense.

 

[Triumph]

I don't see him lasting all season without getting dinged again. Tua has only made it 1 full season out of 5.

Its impossible to avoid punishment as an NFL QB.

Drake finished with 15-10,TD to INTS ratio.. let me repeat that he had no HC, No OC and no OL.. his WRs gave away 3 INTS to the opposing team. He also didn't start until week 5.. for a rookie in that ****ty situation I think the kid fared well.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Hi! I was thinking of coming down for this game. Any tips or suggestions? I've heard so many great things about Nashville

I have only one recommendation, wait until you come back to quit drinking.

NFL royally screws Bills by handing the Patriots an unfair advantage

When you look at the 2025 schedule for the Buffalo Bills, there is a lot to be excited about. Five primetime games (three at home), they open up their season wi

There goes our first round pick next year oh well

Completely agree.

Are you really labeling him "can't consistently stay on the field" because he failed one protocol test? The second time he passed it so consistently is a pretty big stretch from once.
