Ok Patriots fans, the past two Sunday’s are prime examples of why the rest of the NFL hates us. For some reason, that league memo on parity never arrived at One Patriot Place.

What happened?! Two weeks ago the Patriots were 10-0 and stood atop both the AFC East division and the AFC standings. Quarterback Tom Brady was heading for his third NFL MVP and Bill Belichick was going to be the first head coach to lead two teams to perfect 16-0 regular seasons. Now the team has Read More…

The outcome was a 17-14 win over the Northern Illinois Huskies. The victory improves BC’s record to 3-1, but failed to dismiss concerns centering on the offense. Read More…
