The Patriots are fresh off their blowout of the Cleveland Browns, and are headed to Atlanta on Thursday night. They look as good as they have all season, but they can't get complacent and fall for the trap game this week. Pat, Spags, and Keagan explain why they don't think that will happen, and what they have been most surprised and impressed about during this run. It's a special Thursday episode of the Patriot Nation Podcast, so enjoy it!

The New England Patriots absolutely decimated the Cleveland Browns in as complete of a game as we've seen from this squad in a couple years. Mac Jones and the offense scored at will, and after an initial hiccup on the opening drive, the defense stifled the Browns offense at every turn. How did New England do it?

The Cleveland Browns are a walking injury, with their top two running backs and top receiver potentially unavailable this week. That said, the New England Patriots may not be in a position to capitalize as they deal with injuries of their own. Can Mac Jones and the Patriots tight ends take advantage of the Browns weakness on defense? And can the Patriots defensive line hold their own against one of the best- and highest-paid- units in the entire league? Alec and Rich cover it all. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots finished the second quarter of the season with a 3-1 record, including a difficult overtime loss against one of the best teams in the NFC, which means that things are looking up. Can Mac Jones and the Patriots keep rolling into the second half of the season with this tough match-up against a stingy Carolina Panthers defense? Will Damien Harris be able to carry the load, or will someone else emerge on offense? And on defense, how will the Patriots defense a Panthers offense that has plenty of question marks?

The Patriots came up short against the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dallas Cowboys- the latter of two a sneeze away from New England pulling off the upset- but they finally got their signature victory of the early 2021 season by toppling the Los Angeles Chargers.

The boys start with a quick recap of the Jets blowout, and then quickly move into a preview of the Chargers game. Will the defense be able to slow down the high powered Chargers offense? Will the offense be able to take advantage of what has been a mediocre Chargers defense? Will the Patriots be able to go into LA and get a win? They also discuss what the roster might look like at some key positions moving forward: the offensive line, the defensive backfield, and the running back position. Lastly, the discuss some possible trade targets for the Patriots at the upcoming deadline. Then, they welcome on Matt Renshaw of the Dynasty Dads podcast for their 5 Minute Fantasy segment!

The Los Angeles Chargers will present a much more difficult challenge to the New England Patriots than the New York Jets. They have a rising star at quarterback, a trio of great offensive skill players, one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and a couple young stars in their secondary.

The New England Patriots were unstoppable against a New York Jets team that shouldn't have bothered leaving New Jersey. Mac Jones and the Patriots offense scored on 9 of their 10 drives, and the New England defense put up a top-10 worthy outing after a poor showing versus Dallas. So, now the question is: Is this Patriots team good? On one hand, they've been competitive against playoff teams and have one of the best point differentials in the league. On the other hand, their victories have come against the hapless Jets and the even-more hapless Houston Texans. Next week will be a real challenge, but Alec and Rich break down what the Patriots can actually take away from this monster victory. Learn more about your ad choices.

Pat, Spags, and Keagan sit down to talk about the Cowboys week, and the fallout of the Patriots losing yet another close game. They discuss the coaching problems, as well as the performance problems on the field. What to do with N'Keal Harry, and who else might be on the trade block ahead of the week 8 trade deadline. They also talk about the Red Sox, who are now on the brink of elimination after looking like an unstoppable force early in the week. Luckily, our moods should all turn around, because it's Jets week, which should mean an easy victory for the Pats on Sunday! They end the show with 5 minutes of fantasy talk, and give some advice on how to survive this weekend's Bye-pocalypse.

Thanks to four interceptions from New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, the New England Patriots were able to win their first match-up pretty easily. The Patriots can't expect to get four turnovers again, so what can they learn from that match-up in order to get their third win of the year? The Jets offense still runs through two players, and their defense is still one of the worst in the league. That said, the Patriots defense is so riddled with injuries that they might not be in position to take advantage. Alec and Rich cover it all. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots are, like, five plays away from being undefeated. If Damien Harris doesn't fumble against the Miami Dolphins. If passes to Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith don't turn into 14 points for the New Orleans Saints. If the Patriots treated midfield as 4-down territory at the end of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the Patriots tried to score points before the half against the Dallas Cowboys. Or they didn't punt on 4th down at midfield in both the third quarter and in overtime. Or Jake Bailey's punt wasn't blocked. Or... Basically, the Patriots are a hair away from being considered "really good", but super small differences puts them in the "actually bad" category. And typically, the Patriots could have relied on Bill Belichick to coach the team to play above their weight class, like they did last year. So where is that Bill Belichick, that took a broken team to 7-9 in a bizarre season? Has he given up on the year? Alec and Rich break it all down. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots are about four turnovers away from being 4-0 this year, and yet they're 1-3. The problem is that they've dug themselves into a huge hole to start the year, but at least they know what they have to do to fix it (protect the ball!). Fortunately, with the Houston Texans hosting the Patriots in week 5, New England should be in prime position to have a rebound game. The Texans offense boasts old friend Brandin Cooks and not much else, while the defense has been abysmal. So what's the Patriots' blueprint to win? Alec and Rich cover it all.

Bill Belichick giveth and Bill Belichick taketh away. In a masterclass of defensive scheming against Tom Brady and his trio of All Pro receivers, Belichick put the defense in the best possible position to succeed. Only for Belichick to flub away the game on the offensive side of the ball with cowardly decisions to punt on 4th and 2 before the half and to kick the near-impossible field goal at the end of the game instead of putting the ball in the hand of his rookie quarterback that was dealing all game.

The Patriots had a pretty simple set of objectives against the Saints. Protect the ball. Stop Alvin Kamara Do those two things and the Patriots should have been able to win handily. Unfortunately, Kamara picked up over 100 yards and a score, Mac Jones threw three interceptions, Jake Bailey had a punt blocked, and all the bounces went the Saints way in blowout fashion.

The New England Patriots are hoping to put together the first win streak of Mac Jones' career as they host the New Orleans Saints, and the Saints look ripe for demolition. There is no strong wide receiver on the roster with Michael Thomas on the reserves, and that means the entire offense is star running back Alvin Kamara. So what should be the Patriots' defensive game plan? And how can Jones, Josh McDaniels, and the offense draw up a game plan against a Saints defense that is dealing with a lot of injuries?

There is not a lot of star power on this New York Jets roster. One might say that makes them an easy target for the New England Patriots. One might also say that makes the Jets dangerous because they have nothing to lose. The Patriots are coming off a disappointing, yet inspiring loss to the Dolphins in Week 1, while the Jets looked hapless against the Panthers. The Jets lost their starting left tackle, their punter, their waterboy, and probably a few other thing along the way, and the Patriots are primed to take advantage. So how can the Patriots offense, led by Mac Jones, beat a Jets defense that's best unit is its defensive line? And how can the New England defense stop a Jets offense that only boasts one marquee player? Alec and Rich cover it all. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots running backs were both responsible for keeping the Patriots in the game and for giving it away. While Damien Harris had a strong showing, his late fumble cost the Patriots a chance to win, while Rhamondre Stevenson's fumble led to his benching for the foreseeable future. According to Expected Points modeling, those fumbles combined to take an expected 8 points off the board, with the reversal of either play likely allowing the Patriots to win the game. That's brutal. And even with that, the future is bright. Mac Jones looked excellent, as did Nelson Agholor, Jonnu Smith, and Hunter Henry. The defense did a great job against a talented Dolphins offense, and they'll only get better as Dont'a Hightower shakes off the rust and Stephon Gilmore returns to the lineup. So, yes, the Patriots lost in week 1, but they're looking like they'll be able to compete for the whole season. Alec and Rich break it all down. Learn more about your ad choices.
