Doug Kyed from the Boston Herald and Mike Hurley from NBC Sports Boston break down the Patriots' disastrous Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. Drake Maye bungled his chance to win the game and lead his team on a fourth-quarterback comeback and game-winning drive. Who else shined and struggled in the NFL season opener?

The guys lead off with news of Christian Gonzalez signing a 4-year, $135M ($102M guaranteed) extension with the Patriots, discussing the details of the contract, why it took so long, who benefited most from the deal, and what it means going forward for Gonzalez and New England.

The Patriots played an ugly game against the Browns, so Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley attended to some business before getting into that game. Kayshon Boutte has been traded, and Mike Vrabel shared some honesty on why the team sent him away. A new report suggests Christian Gonzalez and the Patriots are far apart, which is not good news at this point. And of course, there were Booms and Dooms from the Patriots' 37-13 loss in Cleveland to end their preseason. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Patriots beat the Eagles in dramatic fashion in a preseason thriller, and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down the booms and dooms from the game. That's not before they assess Mike Vrabel's comment that the Patriots aren't a deep team. Is he right? What was the goal of that postgame message? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're kidding! Nobody wins or loses at joint practice. But there were many, many takeaways from the Patriots' two practice sessions against the Eagles, from A.J. Brown's usage as the clear No. 1 receiver, to the rise of Romeo Doubs, to the Patriots' pass-rushing schemes. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley run through it all and also wonder if it's time for the NFL to just televise these practices instead of holding meaningless preseason games. Then Doug gives some takes about muffins, among other things, while Michael ranks the most shocking head coaches to win Super Bowls in his lifetime. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Patriots tied the Colts in their preseason opener, and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley react to the highs and lows from the game. Kicker Andy Borregales missed three kicks, and Mike Vrabel didn't seem pleased about it. Kyle Williams caught a touchdown and Kindle Vildor had an interception. Kyed and Hurley share impressions from the rookie debuts of Caleb Lomu, Gabe Jacas and Eli Raridon as well as everyone else who took the field for this 13-13 preseason classic...

Christian Gonzalez spoke to the media and indicated he won't be negotiating his contract publicly. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley go deep on the Gonzalez situation while indicating there might not be any more developments until a deal gets done.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are BACK after a brief summer break to get ready for Patriots training camp.

Brown, to some meandering thoughts on baseball and the World Cup, the boys are back in town. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gabe Jacas is the only second-round pick who hasn't signed a contract. The Patriots might not have known about the pass rusher undergoing a knee procedure. The situation is a bit odd. Doug Kyed & Michael Hurley explore that matter and project how and when it might be resolved. Doug also gives his winners and losers from minicamp (both terms used loosely), which include the budding Drake Maye-A.J. Brown on-field connection. Learn more about your ad choices.

The deal that's been rumored and discussed for months finally took place. A.J. Brown is a member of the Patriots. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down all aspects of this acquisition, from the high price of a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth, to the Super Bowl expectations for the reigning AFC champs, to the impact on Kayshon Boutte's place on the roster, to the risk/reward equation that didn't stop Mike Vrabel from getting his guy. If you're looking for lots and lots of A.J. Brown talk, it's here -- with some additional thoughts on The Beach Boys, The Ramones, the worst music venue tickets available in the world, the Myles Garrett trade, and potentially drinking mouthwash.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley spotlight some of the major challenges that Mike Vrabel's team will face in 2026, before getting into mailbag questions and a potpourri of topics.

Everybody's got opinions on the 2026 Patriots, and most of them are settling on New England falling back to earth. But what if ... they don't? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley lay out what would need to happen for the Patriots to actually WIN the Super Bowl next season. They also discuss a new article about some AFC executives expecting a major regression from the team. Doug also shares some impressions of Kevin Byard and Romeo Doubs as well as his takeaways from rookie minicamp, and the guys get into some unprecedented BASKETBALL CHAT as well.

With all the talk this offseason about how difficult the Patriots' schedule will be in 2026, Warren Sharp provided a new perspective that concludes New England has the 12th-easiest schedule next season. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley ponder that methodology, discuss rookie Gabe Jacas wearing Mike Vrabel's No. 50, and then (quite frankly) chat about a whole lot of non-Pats related items. It's that time of year, folks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the draft now in the rear view, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to lay out what the Patriots' 53-man roster looks like. Where are they strongest and weakest, and where are they deepest and thinnest? (Yes, those are very different questions.) Namely, what's the wide receiver group look like if we assume A.J. Brown joins the team in June? Is Kayshon Boutte the odd man out, or should they keep him around? That, plus a ranking of Boston music venues and some patented Baseball Bois chat, and more, all in one action-packed podcast known as the Pats Chat. (Podcast.) Learn more about your ad choices.

The NFL Draft is OVER, and the Patriots made nine selections. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley go through all of the selections, primarily top picks Caleb Lomu at offensive tackle, edge rusher Gabe Jacas, and tight end Eli Raridon from Notre Dame. The Patriots also made six Day 3 picks without any live input from head coach Mike Vrabel, as he ended up not communicating with the team on Saturday. Learn more about your ad choices.

We thought the Mike Vrabel story had largely been put to bed when he addressed the media earlier this week, but we were wrong. Overnight, Vrabel announced that he'll be missing the final day of the draft this weekend to seek counseling with his family, and then the New York Post released photos that reveal his alleged affair with reporter Dianna Russini dates back years. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley largely focus on the football impacts of this development, but also examine what this does to the credibility of Vrabel and the organization as they seemingly have tried to say as little as possible while hoping the story goes away.

A new development in the worst-kept secret in sports came from Adam Schefter, who reported that the Patriots are likely to trade for A.J. Brown after June 1. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley lay out what that means and how that will impact the Patriots' draft strategy this week. Doug and Mike also take rapid-fire questions on a variety of topics before Doug reveals his final mock draft before the big extravaganza this week. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pats Chat Podcast is BACK, and it's time to go position by position to determine if the Patriots are better, worse, or about the same after their free-agent comings and goings. And with the A.J. Brown trade talk still going, it's also time to take a deep-ish dive on what kind of player is typically available late in the first round to determine if the Patriots should risk trading their pick. Then Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley unkink the hose of all their miscellaneous post-45-minute thoughts that have been jammed up by real football talk for the past few months.

The Patriots finally got their Stefon Diggs replacement in Romeo Doubs. While that's not Alec Pierce or A.J. Brown, Doug Kyed says there's plenty of upside with Doubs. Michael Hurley agrees but labels Doubs a firm No. 2, a step below "2ish." Doug and Mike also discuss the signing of Alijah Vera-Tucker on the O-line, giving an updated perspective on the Patriots' progress in free agency. Learn more about your ad choices.

The legal tampering window opened in the NFL, and the Patriots' moves were ... underwhelming. They signed pass rusher Dre'Mont Jones and fullback Reggie Gilliam, but they still have some massive question marks on the roster. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down while laying out what might come next after the biggest-ticket free-agent options are off the board. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With news breaking that the Patriots will release Stefon Diggs before the start of the league year, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are looking at what the Patriots will do to replace their No. 1 receiver. Will they pull off the A.J. Brown trade? Sign Alec Pierce in free agency? Trust a rookie to shoulder the load? We'll find out soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doug Kyed is BACK from the Combine in Indy and is SPILLING HIS GUTS with everything he learned about the Patriots' plans in free agency, the trade market and beyond. The A.J. Brown trade feels less realistic, just like the Maxx Crosby trade. Does that mean Stefon Diggs stays? There's a lot to cover in this one. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed and Andrew Callahan reveal what they learned from league sources at the combine in a special Pats Chat/Pats Interference joint episode.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.
