Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

The Patriots once again failed to win a game two weeks in a row, this time losing 28-22 to the Rams. Why did Jerod Mayo and DeMarcus Covington not put Christian Gonzalez on either Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua? Drake Maye was spectacular, but he also threw another interception to end the game. Ups and downs, highlights, lowlights, all covered by Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley.

The Pats Chat Podcast is BACk for a midweek update, including the breaking news that Christian Barmore is returning to the practice field this week. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down that situation while looking ahead to Sunday's home game against the Rams, who are 4-5 and coming off a short week with cross-country travel. Is an upset in the cards? We'll see. For now, enjoy the new sound eff...

The Patriots flipped the script and embarrassed another team for a change. They sacked Caleb Williams nine times and left Bears fans booing their team all afternoon in Chicago. Drake Maye had a horrible pick but also made some plays. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley cover all of that and more in this episode of the Pats Chat podcast.

The Pats Chat podcast is BACK. And though Michael Hurley might not have followed the Patriots this week, Doug Kyed sure has. Thoughts on the ever-rotating offensive line, the inactive trade deadline, and the upcoming matchup with the Bears are all chatted about in this Pats Chat.

The Patriots' overtime loss to the Titans was all about Drake Maye. That's both a good and bad thing, as Maye was pretty much the entire offense for New England. He also committed three turnovers, the last of which ended the game. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down, as well as the other ups and downs from the 20-17 overtime loss for the Patriots.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are many things, but they're not liars. So with Drake Maye in concussion protocol ahead of the matchup of the 2-6 Patriots and 1-6 Titans, and with an uninspiring trade deadline coming up ... they're not going to overhype anything. Nevertheless, it's another week in the NFL, so it's another episode of the Pats Chat podcast.

The Patriots proved they can win a game, beating the Jets 25-22. But they lost Drake Maye to a concussion in the first half. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley go over what went right, what went wrong, and what the victory over Aaron Rodgers and Co. means going forward through the season.

It hasn't been the smoothest week in Foxboro, after Jerod Mayo called his team "soft." Bill Belichick's got some things to say, Patriots players have some things to say, and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley have some things to say. That ... plus the world's briefest preview of the upcoming Pats-Jets game, and some critiques of Disneyland Paris, AND some in-depth Uncrustables talk. It's all here.

The Patriots couldn't even beat the lowly Jaguars in London. In fact, they got doubled up on the scoreboard, 32-16. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley discuss whether changes might be coming for Jerod Mayo's team after falling to 1-6 on the season.

The Patriots are heading to London. So is Doug Kyed. Before that, Doug and Michael Hurley look at the Patriots' chances against the 1-5 Jaguars before evaluating how many "good" players the Patriots have.

Drake Maye started for the Patriots and provided SOME hope for New England. Outside of that, it was a pretty ugly game in Foxboro, with the Texans beating the Pats 41-21. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley run through the few positives and the many negatives after the Pats dropped to 1-5 on the season.

It's time for an EMERGENCY PODCAST!! Just kidding, no such thing exists. But with the Patriots officially making the switch from Jacoby Brissett to Drake Maye, it was high time for a chat about the Pats. A Pats chat, if you will.

The Patriots looked awful all around in their 15-10 loss at home to the Dolphins. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley analyze how Jerod Mayo, Jacoby Brissett, Alex Van Pelt and the rest of the roster and coaching staff factored into this one, while of course hitting the PLAY DRAKE MAYE button.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley spill their takeaways after a noncompetitive Patriots loss to the 49ers. A lot of attention is being paid to Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye, but the Patriots have a whole host of problems right now.

The Pats head to San Francisco to take on the 49ers. Do they have any chance of winning? How about keeping it close? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley assess that situation and take stock of the team, including whether Drake Maye will be ready to roll in Week 5 vs. Miami.

The Patriots got steamrolled by the Jets on Thursday Night Football. It was ugly and embarrassing. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley tear through the wreckage to figure out who's most to blame for that disaster. Warning: It's not pretty.

It's a short week in New England, as the Patriots look to bounce back from their loss on Sunday when they head to New Jersey to face the Jets on Thursday Night Football. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley have shockingly similar predictions, and they recap the Jalen Reagor release, the injuries on the O-line, and the QB play from Jacoby Brissett.

The Patriots came close to blowing everyone's minds by getting to 2-0. Instead, they just blew it, losing in overtime to the Seahawks. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down everything went wrong (and a few things that went right) in the 23-20 loss, which sets the Pats up for an interesting short week when they'll face the Jets.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are back to preview the upcoming Patriots-Seahawks game. This team can't get to 2-0 ... right? Doug points out key areas of strength and concern for the Pats heading into the game. Plus, some leftover thoughts from Week 1, and some commentary on the big ESPN story about Robert Kraft's efforts to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Patriots are 1-0 after beating the Bengals 16-10 in Cincinnati. Doug said he saw it coming, but is he a liar? And what does this mean for the larger outlook of the season? Does Jacoby Brissett's performance change the desired timelines for a Drake Maye start? Plus studs, duds, and more.

Pats Chat is back! Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald and Michael Hurley of WZLX share their initial impressions of the Jerod Mayo era before laying out predictions and expectations for the 2024 season.

An "emergency" podcast, breaking down the latest on Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. There's tension between Jones and head coach Bill Belichick stemming back to last season. And there was a report that New England has shopped Jones. So, what happens from here? How did the Patriots get to this point?

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley discuss comments made by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft at the NFL Annual Meeting on Monday. Belichick doesn't seem high on Mac Jones.
