Top 10 Players on the Patriots

1. Drake Maye, QB

The engine that makes the offense go. He has every trait you want a QB to have.

2. Christian Gonzalez, CB

A top 3 cornerback in the league for my money. The Pats are 15-1 with him playing this year. He shuts down the guy he is covering.

3. Milton Williams, DT

Our most valuable defensive player when it comes to stopping the run. This defense has been completely worse when he’s been out.

4. Stefon Diggs, WR

The first legitimate WR1 the Pats have had since Julian Edelman. His numbers were great even with him not running as many routes as most WR1s do. He is a master of efficiency.

5. Marcus Jones, CB/PR

The biggest play maker on the team and he plays defense! No matter when or where he touches the ball, he can house it.

6. Hunter Henry, TE

Mr. Reliable. His chemistry with Maye is off the charts and he constantly is on the receiving end of a clutch throw by Maye.

7. TreVeyon Henderson, RB

A home run threat and electric player out of the backfield. He can break one at any moment.

8. Rhamondre Stevenson, RB

The thunder to Henderson’s lightning. He is a steady back that gains consistent chunks of yardage in the rushing and passing game.

9. Robert Spillane, LB

An important part of the middle of our defense. Like Williams, when he’s been out the dense has looked much worse.

10. Harold Landry, Edge

Our top sack man this year. He has been a great edge rusher for a long time and continues to do so with the Pats.

Honorable Mentions: Keyshon Boutte, WR; Michael Onwenu, G

Boutte is our best big play weapon and makes some insane catches. Onwenu is our best offensive lineman and is extremely consistent in the interior of our offensive line.

NFL Divisional Round Recap

Houston Texans at New England Patriots

The Good ☀️

SURIVE AND ADVANCE! That’s all that matters.

The Patriots defense is just as good as any in the league right now. They are playing out of their minds.

The offense made clutch plays in the running game and passing game when they had to.

The Bad ⛈️

Such an ugly game again.

The offensive line and particularly the tackles played absolutely awful.

Maye fumbled four times, but two of them weren’t really his fault. And that pick was not a real one anyway. So he really had two fumbles that were his fault. He still needs to be better but the turnovers are not as big a story as the box score makes them seem.

NFL Wild Card Round Recap

Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots

The Good ☀️

It was not pretty but it doesn’t have to be. In the playoffs all that matters is a win. Starting the Maye-Vrabel (Vrayebel? Mayebel?) era with a playoff win is huge. Especially when everyone was talking about how easy our schedule was.

The Pats defense played Super Bowl winning football. The pass rush was the best it’s been all year.

Maye played well in the 2nd half after struggling in the 1st half. He still had a couple bad moments in the 2nd half, but overall played well.

The Pats ran the ball great.

The Bad ⛈️

The offense was able to drive the ball down the field, but couldn’t finish drives and turned the ball over twice. But they showed some grit at the end of the game.

The offensive line struggled for much of the game.

Picks:

Pats win ✅

Pats cover -3.5 ✅
