Patriots vs. Bills: Fan Notes from the Game

Jan 7, 2025 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

David Butler II-Imagn Images It’s the last Fan Notes of 2025, and I’ll level with you: I’m exhausted. It’s been a long, long, long season, that somehow managed to go both exactly as expected and not at all as expected at the same time. If the 2024 Patriots season was a marathon, I’m this woman right now. I think we all are. I haven’t related that hard to a video in a very long time. Let’s all crawl across the finish line together.
Fan Notes from the Patriots’ loss to the Chargers

Dec 29, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

David Butler II-Imagn Images The week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is this weird vortex where you never know what day it is, or even what time it is. You’ve been eating and drinking yourself blind for five straight days and you’re walking around in sweatpants a bloated mess.
Fan Notes from the Patriots’ 30-17 loss to the Cardinals

Dec 16, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Another week, another loss, another final score that isn’t indicative of how the game played out. The Cardinals needed this game in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, and they delivered. The Patriots, on the other hand, looked like their usual, stinky selves. I’m guessing there are a few fans out there who still find themselves frustrated by what we’re seeing with this team, and I get it. I really do.
Patriots vs. Colts: Fan Notes from the Game

Dec 2, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Eric Canha-Imagn Images I need to keep today’s Fan Notes relatively short, as all the stuff I was putting off until after Thanksgiving is suddenly due and I have gotten a dent on exactly none of it. I’m that kid trying to write his report during homeroom and it’s due in eight minutes. Plus, by this point in the season there’s not much else I can say that hasn’t already been said; we all know where this is going.
Remembering the Buttfumble: A Pats Pulpit Thanksgiving Tradition

Nov 27, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!The best week of the year is upon us. Monday was the only day any actual work got done and today is a half-day for most of us, leading into the long weekend and the official kickoff of the holiday season. Hopefully you all have some awesome plans over the coming days and will have an opportunity to eat an amazing meal with friends and family, completely devoid of any political conversation.
NFL Playoff Picture: How the Patriots can be eliminated this week

Nov 26, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Eric Canha-Imagn Images Nobody had the New England Patriots making the playoffs this year. But there’s a chance that the team can start officially making their January plans this week. The Patriots have already been eliminated from winning the AFC East; they can’t catch Buffalo, who has a commanding lead in the division and can lock up the title with a win against the 49ers on Sunday night, coupled with a Dolphins loss on Thanksgiving in Green Bay.
Fan Notes from the Patriots loss to the Dolphins

Nov 25, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images In years past, a loss like yesterday’s against the Miami Dolphins would leave a taste in my mouth so sour that no amount of cranberry sauce or pecan pie could wash it out. When your team gets so thoroughly bullied like that, it’s easy to feel lousy and let it affect you way more than it should. But you know what? It’s Thanksgiving week. The best week of the year. And this season is a wash anyway. So no time to dwell on the negative.
Fan Notes from the Patriots’ loss to the Rams

Nov 18, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images As Week 11 in the NFL draws to a close, we saw a few streaks broken. Buffalo beat Kansas City, which means New England’s record of 21 straight wins remains intact. The Steelers managed to win another game scoring only field goals. But at least the New England Patriots’ streak of not stringing together back-to-back wins since November of 2022 is alive and well.

Fan Notes from the Patriots’ win over the Bears

Nov 11, 2024 | patspulpit.com | Alec Shane

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Patriots notched their third win of the 2024 season with a convincing road win over the Chicago Bears, thus plummeting them all the way down to 7th overall in the 2025 Draft order. What a disaster. You know what? Screw that. I like wins and I’ll always root for wins. And as far as wins go, this was a great one. I, like a lot of people coming into this season, had the 2024 Patriots winning maybe four or five games this year.
