The New England Patriots haven’t had a winning season since 2021. Jabrill Peppers is yet to have one entering his ninth NFL season and his fourth in New England. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants didn’t win many games in his first two stops around the league and the Patriots have finished well under .500 with three straight playoff absences. New England is due for improvement in a fresh season with head coach Mike Vrabel and several roster enhancements.

I’m going under (Going under) Drowning in you (Drowning in you) I’m falling forever (Falling forever) I’ve got to break through I’m going under Many people would argue that the 2003 Evanescence hit “Going Under” isn’t a good team anthem. They would be right. After the last month “Bring Me to Life” might be a better play in the clubhouse. Assuming anyone on the Red Sox knows who Evanescence is or remembers that month when the band was everywhere.

1. What is wrong with team? How much time do you have? And let us count the ways. There are the one-run games and their appalling 6-15 record in them. There are the MLB-leading 10 extra-inning games – and their 4-6 record in them – and the walk-off losses: seven, including back-to-back games in Milwaukee this week and two in a row when the Tigers handed them their first sweep of the season, on the previous road trip. There are the bullpen struggles, offensive droughts, and errors, all of which seem to come in bunches, and how unlucky this team…

There is no denying the Red Sox are absolutely in a rut. Boston is riding a five-game losing streak and sits four games under .500 at 27-31. Despite the struggles, manager Alex Cora claims he isn’t “feeling the pressure in terms of job security.”  “No, not really,” Cora said Thursday in his weekly appearance on the WEEI afternoon show, transcribed by Tom Carroll. “You know, from my end, you know? I actually don’t ask coaches about that, you know? I just ask them to do their best on a daily basis. But I can answer that question personally — no.” Ironically, the…

Drake Maye has experienced some growing pains through his first few OTA practices as the New England Patriots’ second-year quarterback. In the Patriots’ first OTA open to the media last week, Maye looked out of sorts as he threw four interceptions. He was better in Wednesday’s practice, but it still was an uneven day for New England’s offense. NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry was at Gillette Stadium for both OTA sessions.
