Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are back to assess the impact of the Patriots' signing of Stefon Diggs. He fills an important void on the roster, but how much will he elevate the offense with Drake Maye? They also lay out some draft possibilities, with Will Campbell looking a bit more likely as the target at No. 4, before really going off the rails with non-Pats Chat toward the end.Doug also announced that he and his family are raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphona Society, in honor of his daughter Hallie.

Doug Kyed has released his first mock draft of the season, and he and Michael Hurley go through all the options that could or should be available for the Patriots at No. 4 overall. They also discuss the still-pressing needs at left tackle and wide receiver, what can be done at center, Cooper Kupp and Tee Higgins being off the board, and finally some thoughts ahead of the season 2 finale of Severance.Also: Join Hoops For Hallie!

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are together in person for the FIRST TIME in Pats Chat history, as the Patriots spoke to the media while cleaning out their lockers at Gillette Stadium.Drake Maye addressed his shoulder injury, Mike Vrabel summed up the state of the Patriots, and Will Campbell explained his postgame media silence. Doug and Michael cover everything from Foxboro while sharing some leftover thoughts on the loss to Seattle and some general forecasting about what the Patriots can do this coming offseason.
The Patriots made it to the Super Bowl, but it wasn't pretty when they got there, as the Seattle Seahawks dominated in a 29-13 game in Santa Clara. Drake Maye was not good and neither was rookie left tackle Will Campbell, as the Patriots' offense had no answers for Seattle's swarming defense.Doug Kyed checks in from Levi's Stadium and goes over the Booms, Dooms, highlights and lowlights with Michael Hurley.
Drake Maye is not the MVP. Patriots fans are ticked.But ... the fact that Maye received just one fewer first-place vote than the winner? That shows that Maye has already made quite the impression on the national media.That's one takeaway from the NFL awards, with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley offering up reactions to that result, on the bewildering first-place vote given to Justin Herbert (and the equally questionable votes for Josh Allen), and on Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels winning their respective awards. Plus, oh yeah, there's a huge football game on Sunday. Doug and Mike lay out the burning questions and final thoughts ahead of kickoff.
The Super Bowl is ... not quite here yet. But the Patriots and Seahawks wrapped up their media responsibilities on Thursday. Doug Kyed shared some differences in the way the Seahawks and Patriots seem to be carrying themselves this week, with Seattle being a bit looser and New England acting a bit more buttoned-up. Michael Hurley found it odd that some star Seahawks were resting at practice on Wednesday, when Nick Emmanwori suffered an ankle injury.Doug and Mike also raise their eyebrows at some top 10 lists of players in this game put out by national media members, plot out potential X factors, have one last Maye vs. Stafford for MVP discussion, and MORE.
Super Bowl week rolls on, with today's big story being Robert Kraft once again not garnering enough votes to make the Hall of Fame. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley aren't going to throw a pity party for a billionaire, but by any Hall of Fame standards, this is truly ridiculous.Also ridiculous? The weak sauce "Opening Night" event in San Jose, which was ugly and lame in person and somehow even worse for viewers watching at home on TV. But it did reveal that Drake Maye's shoulder seems to be all right.Doug gives more thoughts and observations from the Bay Area, and Michael introduces "Pat Chat." It's hysterical. Just wait.
It's Super Bowl week! Doug Kyed is ON LOCATION in the Bay Area as the Patriots gear up to play the role of underdog against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Let's talk about the game.The Seahawks are favored, rightfully so. But is America sleeping on the Patriots a bit? Doug and Michael Hurley prove they're true football guys by focusing on the big boys on both sides of the line and how they will control this game.Jaxon Smith-Njigba figures to be the biggest problem. Can the Patriots just throw Christian Gonzalez at him? Wouldn't that be fun.More game talk, plus memories of Super Bowl Media Day/Night, and MORE, all in this edition of Pats Chat.
Bill Belichick: Not a Hall of Famer. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley struck up a Pats Chat to talk about the absurdity of arguably the greatest coach of all time not getting enough votes for enshrinement.Then it's time to talk about the status of Drake Maye's shoulder injury, how the team might try to limit Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and which media members were rude to Mike in the award-winning "Gettin' Jiggy With It" segment.
It's an EARLY midweek podcast as Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are overflowing with leftover thoughts from Sunday's 10-7 win in Denver. That includes:--Twitter reports of Drake Maye injuring his shoulder. Concerning or no big deal?--How the Patriots' D-line can be the backbone to a Super Bowl victory.--A bit of praise for the offensive line's work in Denver, including Will Campbell and Mike Onwenu.--Thoughts on Stefon Diggs not having a prime-time performance in the playoffs yet.--Whether it's fun or not for Super Bowl MVPs to go to Disney World.And, as always, a whole lot more.
The Patriots are heading to Super Bowl LX. Can you believe it?Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley can ... for the most part. The Patriots earned their spot after a weird, wild game in Denver that featured insane winds and snow in the second half. Drake Maye did enough with his legs to help New England earn the 10-7 win in Denver. There were booms, there were dooms, and a whole lot in between, and it's time to talk about them before the Patriots begin their preparations to face the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
It's AFC Championship week, and the Patriots are heading to Denver looking to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX. They're not going to lose to a team quarterbacked by Jarrett Stidham ... are they?Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the game in detail, from their expectations for Stidham, to how Drake Maye and the offense can operate against a sack-happy defense, to Will Campbell's need for a bounceback game, to injury updates and more.
The New England Patriots are one win away from making the Super Bowl, after a 28-16 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. Drake Maye had a rough game with four fumbles, but he also delivered some elite passes, while the Patriots' defense neutralized C.J. Stroud, Woody Marks and the entire Texans offense.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all the highs and lows from this Patriots win, while looking ahead a bit to next week, when the Patriots will face ... Jarrett Stidham? With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line? That's crazy.And before the Pats Chat ends, Doug and Mike get passionate about the Brandin Cooks non-catch/interception that essentially killed the Bills' season. WHAT'S EVERYBODY UPSET ABOUT?!
It's divisional weekend, and the Patriots are hosting the Texans with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line. While the Texans' defense is rightfully getting a ton of attention this week, it's a major question whether C.J. Stroud's five-fumble performance in Pittsburgh will carry over into Foxboro.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the upcoming game, from Christian Gonzalez's expected return, to Nico Collins' likely absence, and everything else we can expect on Sunday.
The Patriots beat the Chargers in the wild card round of the postseason, and it was the defense that led the way. Milton Williams and Christian Gonzalez played like All-Pros as the defense pummeled Justin Herbert all night en route to a 16-3 home victory.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all of that defensive play while also assessing Drake Maye's ups and downs and all the other highlights (and lowlights) from the win.
IT'S PLAYOFF WEEK IN NEW ENGLAND. Instead of dealing with coach firings and GM interviews, New England is preparing for playoff football at Gillette Stadium, with the Patriots hosting the Chargers in the wild card round.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down how the Patriots can secure a victory and move on to the divisional round while also touching on the importance of Drake Maye to get his first playoff win (while keeping Justin Herbert's win total at zero).There's also the ever-maddening MVP debate, where things have really gone off the rails.
The Patriots put the bow on a 14-3 season with a 38-10 blowout win over the Dolphins. Drake Maye was very good once again, but did he lose the MVP race to Matthew Statfford. More importantly ... why does that matter so much to so many people?Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley look ahead to the wild card round matchup with the Chargers next Sunday and also run through the Booms and Dooms from Sunday's game, lay out fair postseason expectations for Mike Vrabel and Co., and much more.
As the Patriots prepare to face the Dolphins in Week 18, Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore are facing allegations of assault. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley discuss those situations and what the next steps are for both players and the team.There are also some observations that the MVP debate between Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford has gotten very, very strange in the national media. Why are people working so hard to diminish Drake Maye? It's ... WEIRD.
Drake Maye had the best game of any quarterback this year, the Patriots steamrolled the Jets, and New England took back the crown in the AFC East. It was a nice little Sunday for the team.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the 42-10 win over the Jets (as much as it could be broken down). It was Booms galore, as Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs powered the offense and Efton Chism caught his first career touchdown.It's also time to look ahead to the potential playoff matchups to figure out just how far this team can go.And for whatever reason, you'll get an extensive break down of Home Alone and Home Alone 2 at the end, which is bad news for Uncle Frank.
The New England Patriots improved to 12-3 and clinched a playoff berth after a tremendous fourth quarter comeback in Baltimore. Drake Maye shook off a shaky three quarters to shine in the fourth, and Stefon Diggs turned in one of his best performances as a Patriot.Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley recap the 28-24 victory, which included arguably the worst missed pass interference call of the 2020s as well as the worst fake punt since the infamous Colts play in 2015. There were Booms, there were Dooms, and there was a concerning run of injuries, but the Patriots are 12-3 with a chance to make a run at the No. 1 seed.
