Just Lucky, I Guess

Is there a consensus amongst pigskin pundits and bobbleheads when it comes to this team? 

Too Soon?

 Is it too soon to get excited about this 2021 New England Patriots football team?

If it is, I'm way ahead of schedule. 

Mac Jones and the Myth of the Elite QB

There has been plenty of chatter regarding Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones; his floor and also his ceiling. Apparently, as I can best understand it, Mac Jones is a very short man living in a tiny house.

Living a Pigskin Dream

Don't pinch me, because I think I'm dreaming.

Same As It Ever Was

I've been as guilty as the next blogger for pushing the 2001 narrative as the context and framework for these 2021 Patriots but really; isn't this just the way the HC of the NEP has been rolling for the last forty years?

No, these aren't your older brother's Patriots. But they might just be your Dad's Patriots.

Pigskin Unpredictability

The ball does have pointy ends, after all. You don't need a Dr. Ian Malcolm to tell you that means. Can we even call them "upsets" any more? That would presume we actually have some idea of what should happen and clearly, nobody does.

Maybe that's just me.

I love professional football but sometimes it feels like the game is the least important product the NFL is selling. The F does stand for football, doesn't it?

The Red Carpet

Sometimes you fall in love with an idea and no matter what you do or what you experience you can’t shake it, can’t fall out of love with it.

For Steve, walking the red carpet with Alison was that idea.

Vintage Pigskins

The New England Patriots got in the Wayback Machine on Sunday and spun the dial back to 2001.
