It's a new era of Patriots football and with that comes endless possibilities. And with that, after every Patriots game, Mike hits record and gives you his immediate thoughts. The Bill and Tom era is in the past. The Mac era was not good enough. The Mayo error (not a typo) was even worse. The Drake Maybe and Mike Vrabel era is here now and with that comes a whole new level of excitement. SO LET'S GOOO!!!!

  1. ONE WEEK (AND ONE DAY) LATER. Seahawks 29 - Patriots 13

    FEB 16

    ONE WEEK (AND ONE DAY) LATER. Seahawks 29 - Patriots 13

    Well, it's been a little over a week and I finally hit record to talk about the Super Bowl. The Patriots were outplayed and overmatched - and as disappointing as that was, I can't help but be grateful for an incredible season and excited for the future. Go Pats!

  2. SUPER BOWL BOUND! Patriots 10 - Broncos 7

    JAN 26

    SUPER BOWL BOUND! Patriots 10 - Broncos 7

    Whoever said winning conference championships needed to look pretty!? The Patriots defense let up one touchdown today - and then nothing else for the rest of the game. The offense did just enough to score more points than the Broncos - and that is all that matters. Patriots win! And I can't believe I'm saying this - The PATRIOTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL! This podcast never thought we'd be saying that this soon. Incredible.

    ON THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP! Patriots 28 - Texans 16

    The Patriots are on to the AFC Championship game! The defense dominated again and the offense came through when they needed to for another two-score victory in the playoffs. We're on to Denver and I'm on to another week of taco dip! My wife and I cam home last night and I quickly crashed and fell asleep early - which is why the show wasn't posted until today. Who cares!? GO PATS!!!

  4. DEFENSE DOMINATES! Patriots 16 - Chargers 3

    JAN 12

    DEFENSE DOMINATES! Patriots 16 - Chargers 3

    For the first time since I started this podcast, the Patriots had a playoff home game AND the Patriots won a playoff game!!! It wasn't pretty, but the defense dominated and Drake came through when he needed to. HUGE win for the team and they live to fight another day - back at home next week! LFG!!!

    BRING ON THE POSTSEASON! Patriots 38 - Dolphins 10

    Happy New Year, Patriots Fans! The Pats ended the regular season with three straight wins and an overall record of 14-3. They took care of business at home today against Miami and now all eyes are on to the Chargers. LET'S GO!!!!

  6. AFC EAST CHAMPS! Patriots 42 - Jets 10

    12/29/2025

    AFC EAST CHAMPS! Patriots 42 - Jets 10

    It's always good to beat the Jets! After three straight super-late nights, I crashed and crashed early yesterday - but not before seeing the Patriots display absolute dominance over the lowly Jets and seeing the Bills lose on the last play of the game to secure the Patriots as the AFC East Champs! See you in 2026!

  7. PLAYOFFS! Patriots 28 - Ravens 24

    12/22/2025

    PLAYOFFS! Patriots 28 - Ravens 24

    It wasn't pretty there for a while - until it was! Patriots put up 15 points in the fourth quarter to come back and and clinch a playoff spot! To come back and be one game away from winning the AFC East. To come back and still have a chance at the number one seed. To come back and win! Merry Christmas!

  8. OOF. Bills 35- Patriots 31

    12/14/2025

    OOF. Bills 35- Patriots 31

    I know, I know. It's only one game. I know, I know - this time has massively overachieved already this season. I know, I know, they still have the division in their midst and still have some hope for that number one seed (the Broncos game is still going on). But expectations have changed for me, and after a fantastic first half - this one stung. But again, it was only one game - so you just put it behind you. And hopefully they just put it behind them. We're on to Baltimore.
