The New England Patriots 2019 schedule was released on Wednesday and these are the games you won’t want to miss.

Even though it is April it is never too early to talk about the New England Patriots upcoming season.

This will definitely be an interesting one for the New England Patriots. They will be without one of their best players. The Patriots offense will look a lot different.

The choice to retire was a smart one for Rob Gronkowski. He has had to deal with so many injuries and has already established himself as the greatest tight end of all time. If I was Gronkowski I would want to retire.

Still, I think this should be another succesful season for the New England Patriots.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots won 13 or 14 games. I might be a little biased but the schedule seems to be on the easier side.

Anyways the New England Patriots have their great defense returning and of course, Tom Brady is. When you have Tom Brady anything is possible.

Football season can’t come soon enough. We are all just waiting for the New England Patriots to try and repeat as Super Bowl champions. The journey won’t be easy, but if anyone can do it, it’s the New England Patriots.

We will have to wait until September 8th for the regular season but here are the 3 games you will definitely want to watch when the 2019 regular season finally arrives.

Week 8 vs Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns are the most hyped team in the NFL right now. With the acquisition of Odell Beckham Jr, the team looks like it could be a top team in the AFC.

Baker Mayfield and the Browns shocked the league last season. They weren’t amazing, but it’s easy to impress when you have been so bad.

The acquisition of Jarvis Landry seemed to be a big one. In his 1st season with the Browns, he had 81 catches for 976 yards and 4 touchdowns.

This will definitely be a fun game to watch. It has all the capabilities of being a great game. By the time these two teams play we will see if the Cleveland Browns are a real contender.

This game will definitely be an interesting one and it will be telling for the New England Patriots. Hopefully, they will be able to walk away with the victory.

Week 11 at Philadelphia Eagles

This will finally be the rematch that New England Patriots fans have been waiting for.

The loss against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII was a tough pill to swallow. Tom Brady played a great game and deserved to win the game, but the defense blew it for him.

If it wasn’t for a few missed tackles Tom Brady would have 7 Super Bowl championships. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

There is an interesting twist. Michael Bennett who was on the Eagles roster last season is now a New England Patriot and he is a major gamechanger.

This was one of the best moves that the team made so far this offseason. Bennett is a great pass rusher who will definitely help the New England Patriots front seven. He had 9 sacks last season.

I hope that the Patriots blow out the Eagles and avenge their Super Bowl loss.

Week 14 vs Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs look like they will continue to be thorns in the side of the New England Patriots. Their offense looks like it will once again be with one of the best in the NFL.

It is crazy how talented Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is. He does things that no other quarterback could imagine doing. Who would think that a quarterback would throw a no-look pass?

This should be a key game for the Patriots. With the game being so late in the season, the Patriots may really need this win.

Last season the Patriots were unable to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Patriots may have been able to go into Kansas City and win, but it would make things easier if they got to play at home in the playoffs.

It looks like 2019 will be another succesful regular season for the Patriots. Maybe they will even be able to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
