Wow this is tough.... but this summer.... I will be taking my talents to Orlando and join the UCF knights #chargeon

[Pats Buzz @PatsBuzz]

The cupcakes that kept you out of the end zone for an entire playoff game 🤣🤣

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

8 shots to 0 in OT. This is embarrassing lightning. Capitalize.

[Brayden Ilie 🟦 @illpill96]

“Drake Maye sucks he was only good bc of his schedule” is gonna turn into “Of course Drake Maye put up amazing stats look who he’s throwing too” so fast

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

You keep boutte if he’s not included in the trade. He has great chemistry with Maye. Hollins probably doesn’t get resigned especially with Kyle Williams’s potential

[Mark Daniels @ByMarkDaniels]

If/When the Patriots trade for AJ Brown, it’ll be interesting to see the fallout in their receiver depth chart.

Do you trade a veteran? Three players are in the final year of their deals (Boutte, Hollins and Douglas). Can you pay them while paying Brown and Doubs?

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

BACK TO BACK GOALS. COME ON LIGHTNING

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

@aasim12 Yea go sports!

[Pete Collins @Pete_Collins_]

The Alijah Vera-Tucker deal is fascinating.

Patriots gave AVT real money, 3 years, $42M, but built in a major availability hedge: $4.25M per year in per-game roster bonuses ($250K a game), plus $2M annually in incentives tied to playing time and a Pro Bowl berth. In all, $12.75M is tied directly to him being on the field.

AVT missed all of 2025 and 42 of 85 possible regular-season games over his five-year career, which explains the structure.

Translation: they love the player, they just don’t fully trust the health.

HILARIOUS: When the #Rams were SHOCKED that the #Patriots drafted Cole Strange in the 1st round.

LA thought he was a 4th round player: “We wasted our time watching him thinking hed be at 104 maybe”

Strange just signed a multi-year deal with the #Chargers.https://t.co/Otjnfo5HGZ

It’s wild that if the Patriots got bounced earlier or missed the playoffs entirely, the narrative around Drake Maye and the #Patriots would probably be completely different.

Instead, a 23 year old in his first full season as a starter makes a Super Bowl run, loses to the best defense in football, and suddenly he’s getting dragged through the mud by people who barely watched this team all season…

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

I would do our first rounder for him.

[Foxboro Forever @_FoxboroForever]

I can assure you, there is no better value in the 2nd round.

George Pickens would completely change the way defenses game plan against you.

If Mike Vrabel is who we think he is, Pickens is not a problem.

I watched the 2007 Patriots lose a perfect season in a Super Bowl. I watched them get out coached and lose to a backup quarterback in 2017…

I promise you nobody is hurting my feelings after this one. 😅

[Colby Cochran @PatsGlobal]

“Oh yeah, Drake Maye was great in the regular season, but he was trash in the playoffs.”

Right… because a 23-year-old quarterback in his first postseason run is supposed to cruise through a historically elite defensive gauntlet without growing pains.

He faced three top-five defenses and still became the first QB in NFL history to beat all three in a single playoff run. That’s not “sucking.” That’s surviving, adjusting, and winning at a level most veterans never reach.

Perspective matters.

Give me a break.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Boston Cream 🍩 @BostonCream]

Haters be like ⤵️

[Gabby Maljanian @gabbymaljanian]

I’m still having trouble understanding why nobody picked the Patriots to win 14 games and go to the Super Bowl before the season if they thought the schedule was so easy. Why did the schedule not matter until people realized they were exceeding expectations?

[Jordan Moore @iJordanMoore]

The Seahawks haven’t faced a top 15 defense since early December (8+ weeks ago)

Rams: 17th
49ers: 20th
Panthers: 16th
Cardinals: 27th

The Patriots faced 4 top 15 defenses in that time period.

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

LFGGGG LETS FINISH THE JOB

[Joe Coccia @JoeLFGPatsPod]

Wowwww. This is what I needed this morning. #NEPATS #LFG #SuperBowl

🎥: @Patriots_Lead

[Austin @bostonaustin]

Matthew Stafford legit won an MVP because he threw two fourth quarter touchdowns vs the last place Cardinals in the final game of the season. I don’t wanna hear shit about Drake Maye’s schedule ever again

[Jordan Moore @iJordanMoore]

Drake Maye finished 2nd in MVP voting by one singular vote (24 to 23 first place votes) at just 23 years old.

Lost because Matthew Stafford’s friends and former teammates are allowed to vote on the award.

Anyway, he’ll be playing for the Super Bowl on Sunday.

[Pats Planet 🪐 @PatsPlanet_]

People say Patriots fans are “overreacting” to Tom Brady saying he isn’t rooting for the Patriots in the #SuperBowl. That’s just not true — it’s actually pretty clear if you look at the facts.

Yes, Tom Brady is a commentator now.
Yes, he’s a minority owner of the Raiders.

But perspective matters.

Brady doesn’t even follow the Patriots on social media anymore.
He does still follow the Buccaneers — a team he spent 3 seasons with compared to 20 years in New England.

That’s not accidental. Brady is one of the most brand-aware athletes in the world. Social media follows are intentional.

Since retiring, his public praise rarely centers on anything Patriots. When he talks legacy, it’s about HIS career, not the franchise that helped define it.

He’s now part ownership of direct AFC competition. That alone creates natural distance — emotionally, professionally, and publicly.

When the Patriots succeed, he tends to give credit to guys HE’S worked with (Vrabel/McDaniels) — he does NOT praise Drake Maye.

Patriots fans aren’t salty that Brady moved on to the Bucs and won a ring. We supported him in that journey.

Patriots fans are reacting to the reality that the emotional connection clearly isn’t mutual anymore.

And that’s sad. But, pretending fans are crazy for noticing it is simply dishonest.

The nostalgia is driven by New England.
The separation is driven by Brady.

Both things can be true.

I don’t suddenly HATE Tom Brady and I don’t believe most Patriots fans do either.. it’s just one of those things.

[Mirage Rattani @Deadman0905]

Eventually you’ll be right picking against the patriots right? 4th times the charm
