Tom Brady reacts to Bill Belichick reaching a notable coaching milestone and offers up praise to his longtime former head coach.

Nick Folk’s surprise success in New England continues the Patriots’ decades-long stability at the kicking position.

The Patriots celebrate Bill Belichick moving into second place on the NFL’s all-time wins list after surpassing George Halas.

The Patriots are right where I expected them to be after 8 weeks, 4 wins, and 4 losses.

Watching the game back last night, Mac Jones definitely looked more comfortable in his first full game in over a month than he did a week ago, but still not close to where he needs to be. 

“I thought Mac did a good job,”Belichick said.“He got the ball out quickly. We gave up some pressure, but I thought he did a good job.”

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones had a little better performance away from Gillette Stadium on Sunday during the New England Patriots 22-17 win over the Jets, albeit it certainly wasn’t perfect. 

“Part of that’s because there’s been less bad plays in the beginning of the game to get behind. But they play good defense.” Belichick said.

This is clearly a big week for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who had a disastrous return last Monday night against the Bears in his first game action since getting hurt against the Ravens in Week 3.

If the New England Patriots hope to salvage their season, they’ll need to either go all in behind Mac Jones, or pray that Bailey Zappe just had an off night against Chicago on Monday because if not, Bill Belichick may end up with quite a problem on his hands.

It appears New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has the ball back in his hands after a report on Wednesday revealed he took 90% of the snaps in practice ahead of Sunday’s AFC East showdown against the Jets. Now he just needs to make sure it stays there.

The Jets have been beset with injuries.  In this past week’s game, they lost Rookie of the Year candidate RB Breece Hall and starting OG Alijah Vera-Tucker. 

While New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will probably get booed the next time he takes the field, at least it won’t be by the home fans.

Any New England Patriots fan who watched Monday night’s game will likely have a tough time getting the scene that played out before them out of their memories.

Bill Belichick provides very little clarity regarding his quarterbacks following his team’s loss to the Chicago Bears.

This was an embarrassment.  All week the talk was whether or not Mac Jones would start.  Was he sufficiently healed to play?  Should the Patriots give him an extra week to heal and play the hot hand in Bailey Zappe.

It’s not often you see Bill Belichick make any egregious errors, but it’s safe to say that regardless of where you may fall on the Mac Jones vs Bailey Zappe debate, the future Hall of Fame head coach is probably sitting there this morning wishing he had handled things differently.

The Bears excelled in all phases of the game, and took advantage of a flat Patriot team who started the wrong quarterback and never really overcame their awful start.

The Patriots announce uniform changes ahead of the “Monday Night Football” matchup with the Bears and will re-introduce silver pants.

Kyle [Dugger] as we know is one of our most physical players. Runs well, tough, smart kid. He’s been good in coverage. Has a lot of range.

While New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spent most of this week downplaying who will be starting on Monday night against Chicago, it doesn’t change the fact the Bears seem to already have a plan in place against Mac Jones.

Veteran special-teamer Matthew Slater sounded gutted while he spoke to reporters last Sunday after Cody Davis left the game against the Browns with what turned out to be a serious knee injury and head coach Bill Belichick seemed to echo that sentiment as he spoke to reporters on Friday.

Apparently, out in Chicago, it sounds like there’s one player who is absolutely concerned about the psi in the footballs ahead of Monday Night’s battle against the New England Patriots, so much so that he plans to do his own investigation before kickoff.

One of the interesting stories of the day centers around New England Patriots offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn, for who it appears there could be some trouble brewing.

This week’s opponent is the Chicago Bears.  The storied franchise of the NFL is a long way from the old glory days.
