10 New England Patriots Gift Picks 2018

by

After all these years of blogging, the one thing I do get is plenty of books and new Patriots materials sent my way. I know it can be hard to sift through everything Patriots that is out there so here are some of my favorite picks for that special someone or your own wish list.

Of course, you can always help on the blog by simply clicking through my Amazon link here before you make a purchase or pick something up at the Prop Shop. Thanks, and you can’t go wrong with any of the books or videos below.

This was an exciting look behind the scenes at the Patriots machine from Mike Lombardi. Great stuff that shows what a typical week is like under Belichick. I did a full review here.

An all-time favorite, this is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn what makes Bill Belichick tick from a wonderful writer.

Film Review: Pats Defense All In Sync vs. Vikings

by

The Patriots defense didn’t quite turn in the near-perfect performance that I saw against Miami earlier in the year, but they were pretty close against the Vikings. Despite their road inconsistencies, no one can argue this isn’t a top-10 defense at home.

The addition of some murkiness to the third-and-longs was fun to see, as was some aggressive strategy (Cover 0 blitz!?), but those twists aren’t really what defines why these Patriots are good. They’re good because they’re once again fundamentally sound and all playing in sync. A defense that doesn’t give up big plays and doesn’t beat itself is hard to score more than 20 points. On this day they held Minnesota to just 10.

Now that we’re into December it’s not too much to expect the Pats to put their days of playing down to the competition on the road behind them. That starts with the defense, who showed perfect symmetry between coverage and pass rush to negate a talented Viking offense.

Here’s a bunch of rapid-fire thoughts on what I saw on the All-22.
