Completed Q&A: Giardi on Patriots pulling off the upset in Buffalo/look ahead to Vegas 10.06.26 5 PM
Giardi here with all the good, bad and ugly (there was some) after the Patriots beat the Bills. Please remember to refrain on commenting until the Q&A is closed. Otherwise, got questions? Fire away.
Giardi: Monday morning coffee with Vrabel - Hollins, containing Allen and Maye's confidence
Mike Vrabel addressed the media Monday morning after his Patriots got “back in the race” following their upset win in Buffalo. He hit on a number of topics. Here are the ones that stood out to me:
Podcasts: Bedard on Patriots' turnaround in shocking upset of Bills with 98.5 The SportsHub & CLNS
Drake Maye led the Patriots to a huge win over their division rival, the Buffalo Bills, on Sunday afternoon. Despite a fumble and an interception, Maye led his team to victory with three passing TDs and 269 passing yards against Josh Allen and the Bills.
Bedard: After eating the deserved noise to start the season, Patriots entitled to talk their stuff after stunning upset of Bills
The Patriots are back, for at least one week on the field. But they're back in a big way in one area that is near and dear to the hearts of Masshole Nation: Proving the haters wrong.
Giardi: Patriots put their faith in Maye, and he rewards them for it
As Drake Maye answered the first question of his postgame press conference, he searched for the right way to describe his team, the Patriots, delivering an upset win in Buffalo.
BSJ Game Report: Patriots 29, Bills 26 - Vrabel pushes all the right buttons and Maye has his day in big win at Buffalo
Everything you need to know from the Patriots’ 29-26 win over the Bills in quickie form, with BSJ insight and analysis:
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Keeping up with the NBA Joneses
If such a huge part of winning in the NBA is figuring out how to keep up with the Joneses, then is there a way to predict the Joneses' next move?
FINAL: Patriots 29, Bills 26 - New England, Maye (3 TDs) shock Allen and the Bills
I do think Drake Maye has a chance to play much better because this is the simplest and least talented defense he has seen to this point. But none of us has any idea what we're going to see from Maye, so deeper analysis really isn't needed.
Bedard: The Patriots might fall to 1-3 against Bills, but here's five reasons to maintain optimism
Pretty soon people will be doing their quarter-season assessments, and I'm fairly certain the Seahawks, Jaguars and Bills will be near the top of the lists for their respective conferences. Depending on health, I would not be surprised to see any of those teams in the Super Bowl. I think people are majorly sleeping on the Jaguars. That's a damn good team in all three phases, and I'd argue they are the best team the Patriots have faced.
NHL Notes: Peterka scoring early, often for the Bruins
The JJ Peterka era has officially begun in Boston.
MLB Notebook: Division Series takes center stage as baseball’s biggest arms take over October
The Yankees pummeled the Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Series for the second straight year, sweeping Boston out of the Bronx.New York showed no mercy, crushing the Red Sox, 9-0, in Game 1 before finishing the sweep with a 9-2 victory in Game 2. Now, the Yankees turn their attention to the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays, and they'll once again do it without Aaron Judge.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - Williams knows more is needed; plus, no set formula to develop young QBs
“100%,” he said. “100%. But getting to this point, to, you know, getting the recognition I'm getting is what you want as an interior lineman - to finally get to that point. But now you can't complain about getting more attention and getting doubled. You've got to figure out a way to make something happen.”
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Player development reigns supreme
Player development has been the backbone of the Boston Celtics organization for years. So much so that they have built a team whose ceiling will be guided by its depth.
Bedard: Patriots will try to slow down Josh Allen, Bills without Gonzalez, Barmore; Vrabel on Maye's shoulder; Brown at RG
The Patriots will be without CB Christian Gonzalez and DT Christian Barmore — two of their best and highest-paid defenders — for Sunday's game at Highmark Stadium.
Red Sox saved a sinking season, but Yankees exposed the holes that never disappeared
For nearly three months, the Red Sox made it easy to forget how their season started.They were once 14 games under .500 and seemingly headed toward another lost summer. Then something clicked and Boston ripped off 15 consecutive wins, went 27-3 from the beginning of July into early August and, at one point, won 32 of 37 games.
Completed Q&A: Bedard on Patriots, Maye at 1-2 heading to Buffalo 10.02.26
Drake Maye, Mike Vrabel, Josh McDaniels, the defense ... not much is working right now as the Patriots head to Buffalo to take on the 3-0 Bills. Let's discuss.
Giardi: Mixed messaging on the injury front, but not when it comes to where this Patriots offense is and where it needs to go
Time for the latest chapter in the ongoing saga: “Is or isn’t Drake Maye’s right shoulder injured?”
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: Fantasy football, golf, and more
It was a quiet morning at The Auerbach Center on Thursday. Long before practice began, Ron Harper Jr. and Joe Mazzulla were already ready to speak with reporters. Jayson Tatum walked into the scrum shortly after them.

Red Sox season ends in ugly fashion as Yankees erupt in sixth, complete Wild Card sweep
The Red Sox spent months fighting to save a season that once appeared lost. When October finally arrived, it was over almost as quickly as it began.Boston’s offense disappeared against the Yankees for a second straight night, and when Willson Contreras finally gave the Red Sox a pulse with a sixth-inning homer, the pitching staff immediately gave it away.

Roman Anthony removed from Red Sox' Wild Card roster due to injury; Curtis Mead activated
A day after Roman Anthony’s abrupt exit from Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series raised questions, the Red Sox received the answer they were hoping to avoid.Anthony is dealing with new strains in his right wrist along with an aggravation of the injury that cost him nearly four months of the regular season. The damage is significant enough that Boston removed him from its Wild Card roster Wednesday and replaced him with infielder Curtis Mead.
Simone's Training Camp Notebook: A Baylor Scheierman breakout may be inevitable
It's not always easy to tell how talented a player is without being his teammate. If the guy doesn't play 25 minutes a night and get a ton of shots up, it can be hard to assess him. Perhaps that's been the case with Baylor Scheierman, who was the first of many names Conley mentioned.
Haggerty: Minten heroics on opening night lead the Bruins
One of the most fundamental questions for just how much the Boston Bruins can improve this season lays with how much more offense can be generated within the impressive, young game of 22-year-old Fraser Minten.
