The New England Patriots are wearing their classic red "Pat Patriot" throwback uniforms today in their Week 3 matchup on September 21, 2025, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is the fourth consecutive year the team will wear these uniforms, which were their primary look from 1960 to 1992. The uniforms feature a white helmet with the "Pat Patriot" logo, red jerseys with white and blue stripes on the sleeves, and white pants with corresponding stripes. A Game to Remember In the spirit of that throwback era, I have been to many Patriots games over the years, with my Pats superfan honey, in both Sullivan and Gillette stadiums. But one day stands out above all of them, nearly 43 years ago. It was December 12, 1982. The sky hung low and gray, and it was snowing Massachusetts-style in Sullivan Stadium. The Pats were locked in a scoreless trench war with the Miami Dolphins. The field was a frozen, crusty, white wasteland. Visibility was poor, traction was worse, and the scoreboard refused to budge. In a battle of attrition, players slipped, skidded, and collided like bumper cars, while passes fluttered like wounded seagulls. The Dolphins, unused to the New England chill, looked pretty darn miserable. But the Pats had a secret weapon--not a player or a playbook, but a machine. It was late in the fourth quarter with the ball on Miami's 7-yard line when head coach Ron Meyer made a call that would go down in legend. He summoned Mark Henderson, a convict on work release, who was operating the stadium's John Deere tractor. Henderson had been clearing yard markers throughout the game, but this time, Meyer had a different task: clear a path for kicker John Smith. (Note: Reporters attributed the summoning to Meyer, and that might be true, but I clearly saw Steve Grogan have a private conversation with Mark Henderson before he jumped on the tractor.) Henderson then drove the machine to the exact spot where the ball would be placed and carved a pristine patch of turf amid the snowy, frozen tundra. Dolphins coach Don Shula protested furiously, but the officials let it stand. As Smith lined up, the wind howled, and everyone else and I held our breath. He took his steps, planted his foot in the freshly cleared patch, and swung. The ball rocketed, slicing through the snowflakes like a comet. It split the uprights with perfect precision. Three points! That was all it took. Our New England Patriots won in a glorious 3-0 final score. The Dolphins were livid. Shula called it "the most unfair play in NFL history." The league banned snowplows from being used on the field in future games. But the moment was immortal! The temperature was 26°F with winds blowing at 16 mph, creating a wind chill of 14°F. We had to clear about two feet of snow off the frozen bleachers, and soon, my butt was frozen too. :-) However, we were down low on the 20-yard line, and I had my new 35mm camera with a long lens, ready for that very moment. I immortalized the legendary series with a bunch of shots, including one of the ball leaving Smith's foot and another as it went through the uprights. SCOOOOOOOOORE!!!! By the way, the "snowplow" from the legendary game is actually a tractor with a rotating brush attachment. How do I know that? Because it's still around and is a cherished piece of Patriots lore. It's currently preserved and on display at the Patriots Hall of Fame at Gillette Stadium. I've seen it hanging there, and it still makes me smile. :-) #GoPats read more

The only grip I have with this place is not the fault of the New England Patriots, the folks who work here, and definitely not the fans, rather the only knock on this place was the way my team played. And utter embarrassment which the team at the New England Patriots get five stars for being very hospitable. My dad and I wanted handicap accessible seats because of his knees and the fact that I am blind, thinking we were just gonna get some seats at the end and one of the upper levels, we were shocked and overjoyed when they gave us some of the best seats in the stadium. Super convenient to get to from the city of Boston with trains running from South Station and bringing you super close to the stadium. Amazing organization that was able to accomplish so many amazing things with an amazing fan base. read more

9/3/21 Another area I have visited, but since didn't care about football at the time, I wasn't impressed or cared about The New England  Patriots.   I like the icon of The Patriot playing football.  Time passed and I grew to like the Flying Elvis aka The Flying Patriot, but not enough for this icon to ever be my team of choice.   Although, I will say Cam Newton looks good in The Patriot colors, but now that is not an option.  I have never been a New England Patriots fan, but I will say they were one of the driving forces when it came to the playoffs and Superbowl Champions.  What Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the rest of the team has accomplished is something not to be taken lightly.  Granted the team dismantles a bit each year due to trades, new editions and retirements.  Year after year Tom Brady and the team have kicked ass and taken names.  I don't call Tom Brady The Greatest Of All Time, but right now, he just might be...until he is dethrone.  Yeah, easier said then done. Yes, I got tired of seeing The New England Patriots keep winning, but what it comes down to it, I will say this for The New England Patriots's Fans...  If your team can't put up the numbers to win the game, THEN SHUT UP, SIT DOWN or GO CRY TO YOUR MAMA. When I first became a Ravens fan, I did not know about the New England Patriots's reputation for winning.    In the 2012-2013 season I saw The Baltimore Ravens come after The New England Patriots with a hunger I had not known before.   I just saw a scared Tom Brady running from the likes of Ray Lewis.   Yeah, getting hit by him would be fun either... I saw my team The Baltimore Ravens were going to play the New England Patriots yet again in the 2013 season.  I was confident my team would kick their ass again.  Oh, someone one's ass was kicked, but it wasn't the New England Patriots. The Patriots won 41-7 was a tough game to watch. Another ass whooping, but worse than what The Denver Broncos did at the beginning of the season.  I can't  honestly say which was worse, the ass whooping in London on Sept 24th 2017, or the or the self-inflicted wounds in the 2019 playoffs.  I will not say the names of the teams, because they were very painful to watch or remember.   Then again, every team has an embarrassing game(s) or season. Nevertheless,  I learned later on that the season of 2011-12, The Baltimore Ravens lost to the New England  Patriots, because Justin Tucker missing the much needed field goal kick to win the game. Well history  almost repeated itself, but this time in 2012-2013's season, Justin Tucker's kick was good.  The heartbreaks and triumphs for both teams, for  different seasons. I did not care for the Rams vs The New England Patriots game for Superbowl 53. I found it boring.  Still it can't be denied that Tom Brady has 7 Superbowl Rings. Six if them being with The New England Patriots. The other 1 Being with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  1 ring with Tampa to start off his new career with a new team. 1st team to host a Superbowl Sunday WITH that team still active.   If I am not mistaken, it was the same team I watched Tom Brady kick The Tampa Bay Buccaneers's ass when he was with the New England Patriots...ironically the following year, the year Tom Brady joined The Buccaneers.   Tom Brady had a Superbowl ad saying "I'm Not Going Anywhere."  He has right.  He wasn't retiring as some people thought, just moving onto a new team. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be the new driving force, but don't count out The New England Patriots.  The New England Patriots may have a new Tom Brady, but it is to early to say.  The words of Bill Belichick play in my mind. JUST DO YOUR JOB... I guess come the The New England Patriots's first game this year, we will find out if Bill Belichick's words come true. read more

The New England Patriots the AFC East Yelp Challenge 72/100 For my 300th review it will be on the team I dislike the most. I don't like the Patriots at all, they lie, they cheat and they steal. Here's the kicker? ?!!?!? They get away with all the shenanigans. Tom Brady is a very good QB but he doesn't like to play Eli Manning in the Super Bowl. Outside of that, I've been fortunate enough to watch Joe Montana and now Tom Brady in my lifetime. Unless you're a homer and only blind to your team. You should know that Montana and Brady are two of the best of this generation. All the other QB'S can fight for third. This team has pretty much built a dynasty that nobody else has matched during this time. Well Pittsburgh a close second. Not disrespecting everyone's else's team. But the Pats are the cream of the crop right now. So for the rest of the teams in the NFL it's either put up or shut up.

I can't stand The Patriots. They get 2 stars instead of 1 because most of the time, they are actually good, and because as much as I don't like Tom Brady, he's a damn good quarterback (my husband may do bodily harm to me for making that statement LOL). The main reason I don't like them is because they are so damn arrogant. They think they are the best, they think they can't be beaten, and they think their sh** doesn't stink. Really?! I hate arrogant assholes and they definitely fall into this category. Whenever they lose, it makes my heart smile a little. :D read more

I am writing this because I am upset with Robert Kraft. Tom. Brady is a professional athlete and deserves to be paid what other quarterbacks receive. For Kraft to underpay him is not only cheap, but diminishes Tom's Self-worth. I hope that Tom finishes his illustratious career with a team that recognizes his ability on and off the field. read more

I sent money to a bunch of guys in Maine, in return for them going on hooligan rampages all over neighboring states. The incidents were called the New England Paidriots. First-Hand Experience: I've seen the Patriots play the Jets at Foxboro and I've seen them play the Bills in Buffalo and both times they were resoundingly victorious. I will be going to see them play live a third time fairly soon because they are one of my fave teams, they have the best coach and the best QB, and I think they're fantastic. I'm not supposed to like them, but watching them live in person tipped the scales. The fans are amazing too. Utterly amazing. And what a stadium. But mainly it's about the QB and Coach. Now that I've seen every NFL team play live & been to every NFL stadium (current and former), time to review them on Yelp! I love stadiums! I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at (or visited when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I'll upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** I am supposed to hate the Patriots, because (1) I'm in Buffalo. (2) They win everything. (3) They cheated with the video cameras (I'm sure everyone does). (4) I don't like the word Patriot. According to Oscar Wilde, Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. I think all countries are just as good as all other countries and politics is not a sport game, neither is war. Neither should be international relations. (5) The guy that got me into NFL loves the Rams, and the first season I watched with him, the Rams lost to the Pats in a Superbowl which the Rams clearly deserved to win, after the refs helped the Pats get to the Superbowl because of the tuck rule. (6) New England has never been that nice to me during my concerts. (7) I ran away from Old England, why would I want to go to New England? Yet I don't hate them at all. Reasons why: (1) Tom Brady is utterly amazing and I love him. And he's a really nice guy. Hot Brazilian wife. And so on. (2) Bill Belichick is the best coach in the world. (3) Gronkowski is cool and from Buffalo and is not ashamed to take pictures with porn stars in his apartment. Lol. (4) With Randy Moss, they were so good to watch and deserved to go undefeated, they were the best team I've ever seen. I will never forgive the Giants for ruining it, undeserved too. (5) People say they are sick of the Pats winning, but the Pats should have 5 Superbowls under Brady, not 3. (6) I never liked Peyton's personality, he's the hot shot who thinks a lot of himself, Brady is more of a nice guy and an underdog (6th round draft pick, back up in college, not expected to do anything, came into the position due to a Bledsoe injury) so it's hard not to appreciate him. And Brady was the only guy that could consistently beat Peyton. (7) I don't like the Jets and Brady always beats them. (8) I like that the team is for all of New England instead of just Boston. (9) Amazing stadium. (10) They were really nice to the Bengals guy with all the cheerleaders wearing Bengals jerseys in support of his kid's battle with cancer. I'd give them a 5 if my Buffalo friends wouldn't kill me for it. Oh and Kraft is a very honourable owner and they are a stand up franchise and a lovely bunch of people. read more

Just watched them rule the Colts 4 quarters but lose the game by one point in the last minute. Ouch. It hurts. The Colts got fortunate this time around. I predict the Pats will take their division and get revenge on the Colts during the playoffs in January. Exciting to watch, Patriots give us great NFL entertainment. Watch them next week and enjoy the show. read more

I'm about to say some complimentary things about the Pats. Haters need not read any further. Why do I like the Pats? - Smart coaches. - Excellent scouting and acquisitions. Who else could take 2nd or 3rd rounders, or other team's castoffs, and turn them into game changers? See Wes Welker (ex-MIA), or Danny Woodhead (ex-NYJ) as recent examples of this. I mean, Danny freakin' Woodhead. He's like 5' 8" and looks like a JV high school player running around out there, but he can run, and he gets the job done. - Talented players. - A mantra that puts no man above others (possible exception, Tom Brady. But hey, it's Tom Brady). If you screw up, you will pay the consequences. Ask pro-bowl wideout Wes Welker, who was benched for the start of the NE vs. NYJ divisional playoff game for unauthorized media comments. - Class, with very little off-field drama. You don't see TMZ cameras lurking around Foxboro. - Knowing what to say, and when to say it. As Tom Brady has said (passed on from head coach Bill Belichick), "When you win, say little. When you lose, say less." Take notes, Rex Ryan. So all of that is why I like New England. Sure, I could hop on the Super Bowl Dynasty bandwagon, but forget all that. They're one of the few teams out there that personify what is so lacking in pro sports today - a sense of humility. Which means I'll happily pay above and beyond face value for good seats at Gillette Stadium, pay the $40 parking fee, and of course, the cost of airfare from SoCal to Boston. Pricey, yes. But to see one of the greatest franchises in NFL history, and to look back years from now and say "I saw Tom Brady play in person", it's worth every penny. read more

I love the New England Patriots I think they're a great team and Belichick is an amazing coach! Belichick knew that we needed a backup quarterback he had Jimmy Garoppolo grooming him just as he did Tom Brady. The difference is Bledsoe was not the crybaby that Tom Brady is, he didn't go whining to Kraft saying hey if you don't get rid of this kid Tom then I'm not going to play. So because Brady went whining and made them get rid of someone who he felt threatened by, when Tom left, The New England Patriots was left without a quarterback to fill his spot.Tom should have allowed Garoppolo the same opportunity awarded to him. He's selfish and wanted to shine without Belichick, as a result New England is paying the price. So yeah he's a great quarterback by all means but I don't praise Tom Brady in my opinion he's not a team player he's a selfish person. read more

I'm no Patriots fan, but will give credit where and when it's due. This is the standard that every organization looks up to. Winning 5 Super Bowls in a span of a generation is unheard of. The only constants have been QB Tom Brady & Coach Bill Belichick thru all these years. Oh and TE Rob Gronkowski is a nightmare for opposing teams to defend. These last several years, players towards the end of their careers have joined up for the chance for that elusive championship ring. It's a system that has worked for a very long time. Coach B is a genius. Give him two weeks to prepare for a team and he'll always find a weakness. That has been the way since his days as a Defensive Coordinator. Tom Brady ( a 7th round pick) is a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. Whenever he decides to retire. Yes, they've cheated a few times over the years. But payed the price for it over time. Getting fined and losing draft picks over a few years.Just to think that if they hadn't lost those 2 Super Bowls the number could have been 7. Players come & go but this team keeps on winning and dominating the NFL. It's quite amazing. Wish my favorite team was this good. read more

This was an amazing experience. The only thing I disliked was the stadium is isolated. Meaning it's a nice walk to get to the actual stadium. Unless you're willing to pay those unrealistic parking prices. The stadium is awesome. Unfortunately the Patriots place Hall of Fame is closed on game days. The food was much better than in most stadiums I've been in. The fans were very knowledgeable about the team & game which made the conversations much better. It wasn't cold as I expected either. But one thing I will warn you of is these are real die hard fans so be prepared to stand up & cheer the entire game. I promise you from the beginning of the game until the end the entire stadium was on their feet. The foot prices where actually cheaper than most stadiums I've visited $20 gets you some buffalo wings (which were huge) fries & a Patriots fan cup. read more

You come because you love following a winner; whether you enjoy Bill Belichick's approach to the game or are a life long Pats fans who struggled through years of terrible, terrible teams and now bask in the glory of all that is the Patriots in the new millennium. Teams model themselves after the Patriots game approach and are hated by other fans out of jealousy. Many of us live and breathe Patriots football, consider me a fully converted fan for life. And now, a poem I cannot take credit for: The greatest teams to ever play the game History will make note of the names Brady, Moss, Welker, the offensive line Wilfork, Bruschi, Talib the defense did just fine They played hard and they played tough Smash mouth football when they needed it rough They played soft with splendid finesse Crushing the worst and the beating the best While others talked trash spouting at the mouth With quiet confidence they were chewed up and spit out Parity, Salary caps, regulations to create equality Rules that to this team are a mere frivolity So it has been written, so it shall be done History is being made the Pats are number one Love them, hate them, or ignore them, you will see The New England Patriots have a date with Destiny read more

Definitely get to the stadium 2 hours before the game as it gets really crowded for parking, entering the stadium and grabbing a bite. Stadium parking is quite expensive for $40 but it's the closest you can get if you don't want to walk 1-3 miles on a cold freezing day after standing out in the cold for 5 hours. If you are going to a game in December like I did, be sure to bring hand and feet warmers. They definitely saved my life out there in the freezing cold! It's a must! The stadium is very well kept and clean. Food and beers are not ridiculously overpriced like Fenway either. There are plenty of bathrooms but the line is always long for women as usual. I recommend avoiding the bathrooms at half time. Plan on tailgating or staying for dinner after the game for at least 1.5-2 hours otherwise be ready to be stuck in traffic in the parking lot and on route 1 for hours. There are a few nice bars and restaurants in Patriots Place to go to while waiting for the traffic to die down. read more

Probably the most dominate franchise during the 2000s. Had the making of the dynasty. The Franchise started to make right in the early 90s with drafting Bledsoe at QB Ever since then and having Parcells pick the groceries - the franchise has been the model organization of the NFL. After the arrival of Belichick, the team have made history in stats, wins. Always in the playoff hunt, always in conference championship hunt, always know how to make the right moves personnel wise. Always was never like this. But for the last 20 years or so, the Pats have been doing their thing and have been the most consistent football team in the league. Grade: B read more

The greatest sports dynasty of the 21 century. A truelly professional organization lead by the Greatest of All Time the GOAT Tom Brady. TB12 along with other future Hall of Famer Bill Belichek dominated a division, the AFC and the NFL like no other franchise in history has done. Built in the motto Do Your Job this football team set the standard in how be a sports professional at every level by everyone in the organization. From media training ok on how to deal with press and put the team above the individual to the way the staff prepares the players week in and week out taking one week at a time and always making the story be the task at hand and once it's accomplished and completed the next task is already in progress and sole topic of conversation and is only thing on the agenda and in the minds of all involved.

New England Patriots, a American football team subject to the rules of sports play. Buried in someplace in the giant book of sporting rules are a few common facts: 1. games are just that, and will be won by one competing team and lost by another in any sporting match 2. some fans will be funny, some will be dicks and those from New England and even old England will be downright brutal at times 3. sports commentators and critics should and must eat giant bags of internet dick In all seriousness, this club is amazing and that they have become so hated is AWESOME!
