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

Kayshon Boutte trade fallout, a not-so-great update on Christian Gonzalez, and the Booms + Dooms from the Patriots' preseason stinker vs. the Browns

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 05:25:09 -0000

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.

Did Patriots WIN joint practices against the Eagles?!

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:21:00 -0000

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.

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 23:07:36 -0000

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.

Tue, 05 May 2026 18:56:18 -0000

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.)

Mike Vrabel Controversy Reaches New Level; How Will It Affect Patriots In The NFL Draft?

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 20:26:49 -0000

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.

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:48:12 -0000

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."

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 01:44:58 -0000

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.

A Positive Spin On Drake Maye Barely Missing Out On MVP, And Final Thoughts Ahead Of Super Bowl LX

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 21:16:57 -0000

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.

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.

Robert Kraft Snubbed Again By Hall Of Fame, Plus Super Bowl Media Night STUNK

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:01:38 -0000

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.

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.

The Patriots are heading to Super Bowl LX. Can you believe it?

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley can ... for the most part. The Patriots earned their spot after a weird, wild game in Denver that featured insane winds and snow in the second half. Drake Maye did enough with his legs to help New England earn the 10-7 win in Denver.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 04:53:09 -0000

The New England Patriots are one win away from making the Super Bowl, after a 28-16 win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round.

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 05:03:43 -0000

Drake Maye, Stefon Diggs Lead Patriots To Comeback Win Over Ravens: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Officiating

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:28:43 -0000

The New England Patriots improved to 12-3 and clinched a playoff berth after a tremendous fourth quarter comeback in Baltimore. Drake Maye shook off a shaky three quarters to shine in the fourth, and Stefon Diggs turned in one of his best performances as a Patriot.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley recap the 28-24 victory, which included arguably the worst missed pass interference call of the 2020s as well as the worst fake punt since the infamous Colts play in 2015. There were Booms, there were Dooms, and there was a concerning run of injuries, but the Patriots are 12-3 with a chance to make a run at the No. 1 seed.

How Real Are Patriots' Concerns Heading Into Ravens Game On Sunday Night Football?

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 03:35:15 -0000

Was the Patriots' second-half collapse vs. the Bills a fluke, or was it indicative of some real problems that could cause some issues heading into the playoffs?

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley assess those matters, such as the ongoing flops in the second half for the offense, the curious usage of Stefon Diggs, the highs and lows of Josh McDaniels, and the fluctuating MVP case for Drake Maye. Plus, a look into where the Ravens could be dangerous against the Patriots on Sunday Night Football.

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 02:39:56 -0000

For the first time in nearly three months, the New England Patriots have lost a football game. This one was wild, with the Patriots looking dominant in the first half, only to collapse in the second half and lose 35-31 to the Buffalo Bills.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break down a bad day for Drake Maye and his MVP candidacy, some questionable decisions on player usage on both sides of the ball, and the BOOMS and DOOMS from a tough day in Foxboro. (There may also be some discussion about some not-so-great officiating.)

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 02:59:18 -0000

After a bye week break, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are BACK, just in time for the biggest Patriots game of the season. The Bills visit Foxboro on Sunday with Josh Allen riding high off a big win last weekend. Can the Patriots slow him and James Cook down on the ground? That may be the biggest key to the game.

Doug has some praise for the Patriots' receiving corps, Mike offers some caution on this "wide-open" AFC altering expectations, and a huge debate on temperature breaks out. Also some thoughts on Phillip Rivers playing for the Colts, the best Christmas movies, angry people on Twitter, and MORE!

Patriots Reclaim AFC's Top Seed At 11-2; Drake Maye Reestablishes MVP Case Against Giants

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:12:17 -0000

The Patriots have won another football game, reclaiming the AFC's top seed with an 11-2 record. This time, it was a 33-15 win over the New York Giants. Thanks to an explosive first quarter, this one was never in doubt, but the game still had its ups (Drake Maye, Marcus Jones, backups stepping up) and downs (sleepy defensive plays, red zone offense, a shanked punt).

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down while marveling at Drake Maye's renewed MVP case, crediting the likes of Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown and Cory Durden, gasping at a kicker missing the football, and assessing the Patriots' chances of making a real run to the ... Super Bowl?

Crazy times in New England.

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:07:37 -0000

Happy Thanksgiving! Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are popping in early to preview the Monday Night Football matchup between the Patriots and Giants.

Plus, a detailed look at how the Patriots can manage the injuries to Will Campbell, Jared Wilson and Milton Williams -- among others -- while trying to earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Patriots Improve To 10-2, But Was Victory Over Bengals A BAD Win?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 02:34:33 -0000

OK, bad wins don't exist in the NFL. But ... losing Will Campbell (along with Jared Wilson, Khyiris Tonga and Brenden Schooler) while struggling mightily in the run game against a historically bad defense? Not great.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley are here to analyze all angles from the Patriots' 26-20 win over a bad Bengals team that was playing without its two best players. The Booms and Dooms generate some spirited debate, that's for sure.

Plus, the two give some final thoughts on the bizarre Drake Maye-Cam Newton-Stephen A. Smith fiasco from the week.

Drake Maye Should Go Wild Vs. Bengals, Assessing Impact Of Milton Williams Injury

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:37:56 -0000

After a mini bye weekend, the Pats Chat podcast is back as the Patriots prepare to face the Bengals, who have the worst defense in the NFL (and arguably of all time). Sunday should be a big, big day for Drake Maye and the New England offense.

Defensively, losing Milton Williams for at least four games is a huge hit for Mike Vrabel's defense to take. Even though they're deep at defensive tackle, subtracting a dominant player like Williams will have a ripple effect -- especially against Buffalo and Baltimore.

Throw in a scorching hot Troy Polamalu take, some "The damage is done, my friend" recollections, criticisms of the goofy Bengals organization, some deep-dive NFL stadium talk, a few early '90s Patriots memories, and some warnings about the Chiefs, and this is officially a JAM-PACKED episode.

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 15:23:13 -0000

The Patriots have done it again, folks. They've won another football game.

A 27-14 win over the Jets was definitely imperfect, but on a Thursday night, sometimes you've gotta win a little ugly. And now the Patriots are 9-2, winners of eight straight and owners of the BEST RECORD IN THE NFL.

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 16:49:20 -0000

Patriots Beat Falcons Despite Sloppy Mistakes From Drake Maye

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 02:44:58 -0000

If you want to win a lot of games in a season, you're going to have to win ugly sometimes. The Patriots did that against the Falcons, winning 24-23 thanks in part to a missed PAT by Atlanta in the fourth quarter.

Drake Maye had a bad fumble and a bad interception, but he also had some high-level plays.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley go deep on his game, while also giving the Booms and the Dooms from the win for the Patriots, who are now 7-2.

The episode ends with some strong Sr./Jr./III/IV/V nameplate talk as well as the last appearance of the Baseball Bois until the spring.

Should Patriots Trade For Myles Garrett After Trading Away Keion White And Kyle Dugger?

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:06:15 -0000

The Patriots have made some trades, sending Keion White to San Francisco and Kyle Dugger to Pittsburgh. Are they clearing the deck, so to speak, to add a big impact player before the deadline?

Also, would you trade two first-round picks for Myles Garrett? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley get into a heated, violent debate over that question in this episode.

Also, Marcus Jones got a contract extension and is a nice story. PLUS, Doug's point of all of us taking Drake Maye for granted has been BOLSTERED by us almost ignoring an insane stat for a second straight podcast.

We're Taking Drake Maye For Granted After Another Stellar Performance Against Browns

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 01:26:27 -0000

Drake Maye can have an excellent game against the No. 1 defense and he's not even our lead story?? That is, paradoxically, our lead story, after the quarterback was very good in a win over the Browns.

He wasn't alone, though. You had Mack Hollins, you had Robert Spillane, you had Kayshon Boutte, and you had TreVeyon Henderson all with big games in the 32-13 win over Cleveland.

It was the Patriots' fifth straight win, and they're now 7-2 and have as good a claim as anybody to be the best team in the AFC.

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley break it all down -- including the BOOMS and DOOMS -- on Pats Chat.

Drake Maye Continues To Inspire Awe In Win Over Titans; Booms & Dooms For 5-2 Patriots

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 01:20:51 -0000

The Patriots overcame a wee bit of early adversity to end up trouncing the Titans by a 31-13 final, thanks in large part to Drake Maye putting forth another unreal effort for New England. He had two incompletions total, which tells you all you need know.

Doug Kyed & Michael Hurley break down the game, including Rhamondre Stevenson being back, some tremendous catches by the receiving corps, and of course, the Booms & Dooms as the Patriots improved to 5-2.

Will The First-Place Patriots Trade For A Running Back? Previewing Pats-Titans

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 14:16:14 -0000

The Patriots are in first place. Who saw that coming? NOBODY! Not even the brilliant genius hosts named Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley, who are here to chat Pats for the people. They get into the state of things (first place!?), some trade deadline potential moves at pass rusher and running back, and some thoughts about the upcoming game against the Titans. Three straight road wins? Can it be done? Perhaps Mike Vrabel's return to Tennessee is enough to make it happen.

There's also some thoughts about the erosion of communal viewing experiences in the streaming era, and Taylor Swift milking every dollar out of her fans.

Also do you know who the Jets general manager is? Be honest. Don't lie.

Patriots Beat Saints, Drake Maye Keeps Improving, Kayshon Boutte Breaks Out, The Refs Stink

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 04:20:01 -0000

The Patriots beat the Saints in New Orleans. It was an eventful game. Drake Maye was very impressive, as he continues to improve in areas we said he needed improvement as recently as a few weeks ago. Kayshon Boutte had a tremendous game, too, leading the way with two touchdowns and the game-sealing catch. But boy oh boy, did that officiating crew stink or what?

Doug Kyed and Michael spend probably a bit too much time on that, and maybe some unnecessary time on baseball at the end. But all in all, it's a pretty good Patriots podcast that you are now free to listen to. Please send to 16 of your friends as a solid to us. Thank you.

The 3-2 Patriots are heading to New Orleans to take on the 1-4 Saints. If Drake Maye and Rhamondre Stevenson can hang on to the football, the Patriots should be in good shape. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley take a look at the current roster and identify areas that could be improved via trade, and then take a look at how each member of the rookie class is doing. Some thoughts on Bill Belichick's disastrous situation at UNC ensue, then some takes on Rolling Stone's top 250 songs of the 21st century, Taylor Swift's latest release (from two Taylor Swift experts), and some pop punk/KPop thoughts to finish this one out.

Patriots Get Huge Win Over Bills, Drake Maye Aces Prime-Time Test, Stefon Diggs Looks Like A Star

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 06:18:21 -0000

Holy mackerel, the Patriots won in Buffalo. Drake Maye suited up for his first prime-time game as a starter and was outstanding, outdueling Josh Allen in the 23-20 Patriots victory. It was Booms galore on this podcast: Stefon Diggs, Andy Borregales, Marcus Jones, Christian Gonzalez, Robert Spillane, too many Booms to count. The Dooms were fewer, though Rhamondre Stevenson's fumble and some avoidable penalties certainly made the list.

How does this win change the season? Why, Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley will answer that very question on this special late-night/early-morning postgame reaction Pats Chat Podcast.

The Patriots have beaten the Carolina Panthers. Soundly. It was a little tense early, when the Panthers jumped out to a 6-0 lead and the Patriots went three-and-out, but a Marcus Jones punt return TD turned it around, and Drake Maye was nearly perfect in the 42-13 win.

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 players who will probably end up on the team, and some deep Baseball Bois talk.

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 good, huh?

The Patriots probably should have beaten the Colts on Sunday, but they're not very good, so they didn't. Who do we blame? Jerod Mayo? DeMarcus Covington? Hunter Henry? Joey Slye? The list is long, but it doesn't include Drake Maye. Because Drake Maye is tremendous. Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley cover it all (plus Doug's high school reunion recap) in this action-packed Pats Chat.

Is This Rock Bottom? Patriots Blown Out In Ugly Fashion In Miami

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 02:04:53 -0000

The Patriots went to Miami and lost the game before halftime. Penalties, putrid offensive line play, and a defense that had zero answers for Tua Tagavoailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Jonnu Smith and everything Mike McDaniel kicked up. Drake Maye was good in spots but also turned the football over twice. Is this the lowest point of a bad season? Is Jerod Mayo showing troubling signs for his abilities as a head coach? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley dig through the wreckage of a 34-15 loss for some answers.

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:20:16 -0000

Ralph Hay. Who the hell is Ralph Hay? Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley (and Wikipedia) do their best to answer that question and also preview a likely lopsided loss to the Dolphins that awaits on Sunday.

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 02:23:44 -0000

Doug Kyed and Michael Hurley discuss comments made by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft at the NFL Annual Meeting on Monday. Belichick doesn't seem high on Mac Jones. Kraft does but also randomly mentioned that Lamar Jackson wants to play in New England, so what was up with that? And there was a lot of coaching conversation because the Patriots' coaching was bad last year and should be better in 2023. But we don't know if that's going to be good enough to make the Patriots relevant this upcoming season. So, why not trade for Lamar Jackson? There's risk, but it might be worth it.
