Pats Posits: Camp Starts Thursday!

July 23, 2018 by Mike Dussault

After a long spring of unparalleled toxicity in Patriots Nation, real football is finally back this Thursday! Yes, the Patriots were a play away from winning another Super Bowl, but because they couldn’t get that fourth-down stop we’ve had to listen to the Eagles’ incessant chest pounding, our defense ridiculed and a near-constant barrage of stories about behind-the-scenes drama.

The common thread now for any interviews of former Patriots players? Did you have fun while you played there? Was Bill Belichick nice enough?

We’ve come full circle.  The Patriots dynasty is only setting the bars of NFL history higher and higher at this point. Almost every meaningful record belongs to the team, Belichick and Tom Brady.

All that’s left to wonder is if this is the greatest sports dynasty in sports history?

That’s why I’m excited for 2018. It’s Brady Ride or Die time. Every new championship and award is just gravy at this point, so what do we really have to worry about? Enjoy the end and marvel at how hard this coach-quarterback tandem continues to work despite already being legendary.

Here are some Posits on this Monday morning about the 2018 Patriots and my plans for training camp and the upcoming season.

Bill Belichick Hoodie 2018 Preview

July 19, 2018 by Mike Dussault

The last time we saw a Bill Belichick hoodie, he was wearing the 2013 Blue Nike cut off to extreme proportions as the Patriots lost Super Bowl 52 to the Eagles. Belichick had won Super Bowl 49 wearing the 2013 Blue, but that was with sleeves intact.

Want a common thread for the Patriots’ Super Bowl losses? Belichick cut off the sleeves of his sweatshirts all three times.

So yeah, it took us 17 seasons but we can finally say we need Linda Holliday to keep the scissors from BB before the big ones.

What can we expect in Hoodie lore this season?

Will Who Return Punts for Pats?

July 17, 2018 by Mike Dussault

Since 2013 Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola have combined to return 190 punts for the Patriots. Last season, when Edelman went down, Amendola shouldered nearly the entire load with 27 punt returns. Bernard Reedy (who?) was second on the team with four. Now, with Amendola in Miami and Edelman looking at a four-game suspension, the Pats need a punt returner.

Cyrus Jones, coming off an ACL tear and limited all offseason, was an electric punt returner at Alabama, with four touchdowns in his last season. Before the injury, Jones would’ve been the most explosive candidate on the roster. He could be a PUP candidate.

Casting Call: Patriots Super Fan Comedic Digital Short

July 16, 2018 by Mike Dussault

Excited to announce that I’ll be producing some scripted comedic content this summer and we’re immediately looking for local actors and comedians who might like to be a part of it.

For the first project, I’m reaching out first to my readers of PatsPropaganda, the most passionate Patriots fans I know. While we’d love people with acting and (possibly) improv experience, what matters most is getting authentic Patriots fans.

For this scripted digital short, we’re especially looking for funny couples! Have a spouse or significant other that’s just as passionate as you and wants to have some fun as well? Perfect! Submissions with two people who already know each other and can play a couple will get first consideration for this first episode.

Otherwise, we might match our single auditioners, who are still very much welcome, especially if they have improv/comedy experience. Future episodes can be tailored to actors we like even if they don’t quite fit episode 1.

For consideration, please send me an email (patspropaganda@gmail.com) with a link to any previous acting experience, reel, etc. If you don’t have experience but are still interested (we’ll be looking for crew too!) please feel free to send me an email! Subject: DIGITAL SHORT

20 Questions About 2018 Patriots

July 16, 2018 by Mike Dussault

We’re a mere 10 days away from the opening of Patriots training camp, one of the most exciting times of the football season, when hope springs eternal, no one has gotten severely injured yet and every team has a shot at the Super Bowl. For the Patriots it’s another bonus chance getting to watch Bill Belichick and Tom Brady add to their unprecedented run.

These seasons are fleeting, we’re already on borrowed time, so it’s best to savor every moment.

The 2018 Patriots should be a big switch from the 2017 team. Just as the 2015 team was decimated by injuries and the 2016 team bounced back, this will be another opportunity for the team to put a bunch of injuries and a disappointing ending behind them.

There will be new faces, returning faces and hopefully, unexpected faces emerging. As we continue to count down, here are 20 questions that are facing this edition of the Pats.

Best of PatsProp Offseason Round Up

July 13, 2018 by Mike Dussault

In case you missed any of them here are eight of my favorite pieces from the offseason.

5 Most Intriguing Returning Patriots – Still very much believe in this list, though I am probably overestimating Damarius Travis.

A Brief History of Patriots-Inspired Rule Changes – Pretty amazing the impact the Patriots have had on the NFL’s rule changes over the years.

Patriots 2018 Draft Recap – Always exciting to get a new crop of promising players.

Tom Brady Will Finish Career as Patriot, On Own Terms – Brady Ride or Die till the end.

Tom Brady’s Helmets: A Retrospective – Brady will have switch helmets at the end of his career, likely starting in 2019. A look back at all he’s worn over the years.

Stop Worrying and Enjoy the End of Belichick/Brady – My philosophy as the end of the Belichick-Brady dynasty approaches the end.

Can Flores Fix the First-Down D? – Critical element of the defense that needs to be addressed.

Brady: 2022 – Imagine a world where Tom Brady plays injury free until he’s 45. What records will fall? How many Super Bowls could he win? It’s Brady: 2022.

Third-Down Offensive Personnel Deep Dive

July 12, 2018 by Mike Dussault

It shouldn’t be a surprise the Patriots’ third-down offense suffered without Julian Edelman in 2017, they fell from 4th to 10th in the league. Now they’ll be without Danny Amendola as well.

Patriots will be in an interesting spot to start the season. Played only 3 games in past 4 years without Edelman and Amendola.

— Kevin Duffy (@KevinRDuffy) July 3, 2018


Using the impressive Sharp Football Analysis, I took a quick deep dive into how the offensive personnel changed between 2016 and 2017. How they compensated without Edelman…what worked, what didn’t.

Here’s what I found:

Anquan Boldin is confident in the Ravens heading into the AFC championship rematch with the Patriots. When talking with reporters Wednesday in the Ravens’ locker room, the veteran receiver was asked how Sunday will be different than last year. “Because we’ll make it different,” Boldin responded. How will they make it different? “We’ll win,” Boldin […]
