That could be possible. But most people believe (and maybe it is) that the Pilgrims were headed for Virginia, but an awful storm was coming strong winds and all that. And let's face it, a storm at sea is never pleasant! The storm blew them off course and they landed in New England. There the met the Native American tribe which was called the Wampanoag tribe. They made a peace agreement, also. There were some fighting involved, but in the end, everyone becomes friends! And in the Wampanoag tribe, they met a "famous" native which is still well known today called Squanto. Squanto taught the Pilgrims lots of stuff, like how to plant crops, build houses, etc.. Surprisingly, (or not so) the Wampanoag and Pilgrims celebrated a holiday which we call Thanksgiving.

Did the pilgrims or puritans get blown off from storms trying to get to Virginia?

The Pilgrims, who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, intended to reach Virginia but were blown off course by storms and ended up in present-day Massachusetts. The Puritans, arriving later in the 1630s, had a more direct voyage to the Massachusetts Bay area and did not experience the same level of disruption from storms. Both groups sought religious freedom, but the Pilgrims' journey was notably marked by their detour due to weather.
