The New England Patriots return to the confines of Gillette Stadium to square off against the New Orleans Saints following two consecutive road games. The Patriots own a 63-25 record vs. NFC teams since realignment in 2002, the best inter-conference record in the NFL during that time.
​

SERIES HISTORY​

Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft's first game as owner of the team was a 1994 preseason game at Foxboro Stadium against the Saints. The Patriots won that game 24-6.

The two teams will meet this week for the 16th time and the first meeting since a 28-13 Saints win at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 26, 2021.

The Patriots lead the all-time series, 10-5. The Patriots are 5-4 against New Orleans in home games, including 2-1 at Gillette Stadium.

Everyone ready for a snoozy 1 PM kick off featuring Mac Jones against Derek Carr? Hope they have the coffee ready at Gillette.

They’re definitely not “must watch” viewing.

I figure they’ll probably win today, but they’re not going anywhere anyway, nor are they really building toward anything meaningful moving forward.

could be Mac's final chance to save his job, on the hot seat. Carr is no slouch so tough matchup

I plan to fold laundry and work on my inventory list for my move while the game is on in the background.

 

[Mione134]

No excuses. The coaching staff better have good playback. Everyone needs to be better.

Mac has to have this game.

 

[smithformeragent]

Suck it, Bills.

 

[rfournier103]

I’ve been a loyal Patriots fan since 1986 through thick & thin.

I’m 50-50 on this game. That’s the best I can do today.

I think this is a very pivotal game. Bill’s future could very well hang in the balance and be decided today.

Feels like there are a lot less commercials on NFL network exclusives in comparison to CBS and fox.

Yeah if they take care of business this week and next, they’re well on their way to 8-9.

Lose today and the thing could bottom out.

If it bottoms out, I think there’s a house-cleaning at season’s end. Kraft told the players himself “it’s time to get a win.”

I'd like to see Bill get a decent QB before I put him out to pasture. You can't win in this league with mid

 

[McGarnagle]

What's sad is that this year there's actually an opportunity for them in the division with the Bills scuffing and Miami not being consistent, but they've already blown two winnable games.

Even with a great QB, Bill hasn’t drafted a good WR since 2009 (Edelman).

he did draft the greatest TE of all time.

 

[rfournier103]

he did draft the greatest TE of all time.

Also drafted the greatest QB of all time.

Neither of whom can help out this year, and he still can’t draft a WR. Are we going to just sit around and pray for Bill to draft another all-time great player?

Time to move on, bro.

the whole point was I need to see him with a good QB before I move on

 

[Mione134]

I'd rather see Jackson play over Myles f***ing Bryant. Please end this.

 

[KrejciMVP]

good job by the D

 

[rfournier103]

I don’t think I was clear.

What good is a good QB if the wide receivers can’t get open? This team needs offensive linemen. And wide receivers. Is a different QB going to fix that?

 

[McGarnagle]

Without rushing to judgment, this defense looks really weak without Judon

 

[CDJ]

Nice play by Wade

Nice blitz call. Way to hold

we can debate another time but it all starts with the QB

 

[rfournier103]

I will gleefully debate another time.

But it ALL starts with Bill Belichick.
