Patriots panic and replace Gillette playing surface

Pats replacing synthetic turf at Gillette again

The change sparks memories of 2006, when the Patriots made the in-season switch from natural grass to FieldTurf's synthetic turf after a rain-soaked Nov. 12 loss that year to the New York Jets in which players struggled to gain their footing. That year, the team had a two-week window before its next home game.

The Patriots have used synthetic turf at Gillette Stadium, which hosts numerous events, since that time. Work to change the field began Sunday, the day after the Revolution defeated visiting Montreal 1-0.

Belichick liked the mud until it was the Patriots that were being slowed down.

They should be able to change certain parts of the field as needed.. Like a sleep number bed

Actually heard it's not being replaced. It's being pulled off and the underlayment layers adjusted. Media loves to create a story though.

Thank God. When I was watching the game I was saying that soft turf would cost them the game.

Still wouldn't have helped the Patriots defense or stopped Hunt from running all over them

Maybe, sew the weave in right where he is supposed to cut, BOOM blown knee. Those evil Pats will do anything.

Next week Belichick tells the whole league to go F themselves and tells Brady to let all the air out of the balls again...
