Pats Chat: A Patriots podcast with Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley

This is a big one. Some would say the biggest ever. The Patriots are playing the Panthers. And it's a MUST WIN ... in the sense that the season could be going down a bad path if they lose. Plus, is Drake Maye actually performing better than we think? Is Stefon Diggs happy? What's up with Christian Gonzalez? A deep dive into the PFF grades up and down the roster and a cameo appearance from the Baseball Bois ends this episode...

The Patriots turned the ball over five times against the Steelers and still ... kinda/shoulda won the game. That says a lot about many things, but the Patriots are now 1-2 and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to break it down. They have extensive thoughts about Rhamondre Stevenson and his fumbling problem, Drake Maye's good plays and brutal turnovers, the famed BOOMS and DOOMS, thoughts about Julian Edelman's and Bill ...

The Patriots won in Miami. That's crazy, don't you think? Drake Maye was outstanding, so hopefully we never have to hear people wonder if there's too much "on his plate." Doug Kyed was in Miami for the game and breaks it all down with Michael Hurley. It certainly wasn't a perfect team effort, but it was entertaining. Enjoy the BOOMS and the DOOMS and then rate and subscribe and send it to your friends. The...

The Patriots laid an egg (sort of) in Week 1. Surely they can turn it around against the Dolphins, who had the stinker of all stinkers in their loss to the Colts ... right? RIGHT? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break that down, while giving thoughts on Terrell Williams, Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye, Christian Gonzalez, TreVeyon Henderson, Efton Chism, Mack Hollins, short receivers, Stefon Diggs' jersey number, and probably a ton of ot...

The Patriots lost to the Raiders in Week 1, and it stunk. Drake Maye didn't do star quarterback things, Josh McDaniels didn't run the ball, Mike Vrabel's defense gave up far too many explosive plays, all leading to a dud of an opener. What's this mean for the season? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down, while also discussing Bill Belichick's latest comments and some very timely DeflateGate thought.

Week 1 of the NFL season is officially underway, and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are previewing Sunday's game between the Patriots and Raiders. This is a tough one to get a feel for, but they really try their best, folks. Doug also reported that UNC has banned Patriots scouts from Tar Heels practices. Isn't that sad, everybody? Plus some great RedZone debates, a cameo from the Baseball Bois, and much, much more! SMASH that...

It's football season! That means Michael Hurley is ENGAGED. He and Doug Kyed are here to talk about the biggest news of the week, like Jabrill Peppers getting released. Are they really good enough to just cut good players? Also, 2025 captains were named -- any surprises? Christian Gonzalez still isn't practicing, when is it time to worry with Week 1's game against the Raiders just days away. Also, are Patriots fans root...

The Patriots whittled their roster down to 53 players on Tuesday, and Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to react right after the official announcements were made. Biggest surprise? Probably the eight receivers, including Javon Baker. Speaking of receivers, will it be hard for third-round rookie Kyle Williams to get on the field? Which of the players on the roster might get bumped for players claimed on waivers? All that, plus a...

Bad news: Doug's podcasting from the car. Good news: Michael is not, and we edited some of the more wonky parts of the podcast.This should be the final car pod for maybe ever?

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to make a 53-man roster for the Patriots. Unfortunately, it wasn't very difficult. That means there's still a long way to go to get the Patriots to the level where their talent is going to set them up to compete with the NFL's best. That's the main point of this one, but there's also an in-depth discussion about the current state of the offensive line, some lesser-known play...

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are BACK at their computers, not in the car, and the timing is great, because the Patriots beat the Vikings 20-12 in a preseason game. There was a lot to like in this game. Drake Maye had a couple of misfires, though. Efton Chism has MADE THE ROSTER (unofficially). What do they do with Kyle Dugger, who played until the very last snap? And Anfernee Jennings, for that matter? Alex Austin, he's pretty ...

The Pats Chat fellas are BACK, with Doug Kyed fresh off a quick trip to Minnesota for two days of joint practices with the Vikings. How did the Patriots fare against one of the NFL's better teams? Is the offensive line a nightmare again? Is Stefon Diggs causing a problem perhaps? How is Kyle Dugger so far down the depth chart? All of these questions and MORE are answered, along with some Taylor Swift Twitter ranting from Michae...

Hey, first, we're sorry if the audio sucks. We recorded this the only way that we could to get it out to you guys before next week. So, we apologize if you find it tough to listen to. We'll do better next time. Promise.

The Patriots beat the Commanders 48-18 in their preseason opener, and there are a lot of positive notes and not many negative ones to take away from the game. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley sit in their car...

Pats Chat is BACK with Doug Kyed offering his observations on which Patriots have helped and hurt their cases to make the roster thus far through camp. Lots of focus on the offensive line and wide receiver room. Michael Hurley does a really good job of reading Doug’s tweets to Doug, and then they get to Terry McLaurin’s trade demand in Washington. Is it MORE realistic now? Finally, some thoughts on a surprisingly full concert that ...

The Patriots started to play some real football on the practice field on Monday, but Christian Gonzalez suffered what appeared to have been a hamstring injury. Doug Kyed was on site and shares his view of what happened while offering analysis of how Will Campbell fared, what the backup quarterback situation looks like, and everything else Patriots. Then some takes on lobsters, Cape Cod traffic, wasps and Offspring/Jimmy Eat World/N...
