New England Patriots Report Card: Week 17

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

All’s well that ends well. The New England Patriots overcame an early 21-point deficit Sunday, blowing out the Bills in the second half and cruising to home-field advantage for the playoffs. Final score: Patriots 49, Bills 21. A fitting revenge after the Bills came back from being down 21 to beat the Patriots in September. [...]

Patriots 2011 Quarterbacks Preview: Brady, Hoyer, Mallett

By ⋅ August 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Sports of Boston concludes its position-by-position preview of the 2011 Patriots with the most important position of all: the quarterback. Now, not every great quarterback won a Super Bowl, and not every Super Bowl champion team had a great quarterback. Quarterbacks need quality receivers, and teams can structure themselves around a running game or even [...]

By ⋅ August 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots began the 2011 preseason in blowout fashion last night, besting the Jacksonville Jaguars 47-12 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Jacksonville jumped out to an early 6-0 lead halfway through the first quarter, but both the offense and defense clamped down en route to the Patriots’ decisive victory. New England outscored the [...]

BenJarvus, Brady, Brian, Brandon, Broken Records: Pats Beat Dolphins with Ease

By ⋅ January 3, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Time and time again, Bill Belichick has shown that he possesses one of the greatest minds in NFL history. But in Sunday’s  38-7 New England Patriots win over the Miami Dolphins in Foxborough, he proved he has a great heart as well. Facing fourth-and-16 from the Miami 19-yard line and already up 38-0 at the [...]

UPDATE: Brady practiced on Thursday, so all is well for the Patriots heading into Sunday’s game against the Steelers. – Sound the alarms! Tom Brady has missed practice for the first time this season!

Browns Turn Patriots Black and Blue

By ⋅ November 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Best record in the NFL? Up against Cleveland, an entire city which hasn’t won anything since ever? No problem, right? Apparently not. With a performance like that, the New England fan base had better hope that the Patriots took Cleveland for granted, because if not, it’ll be a long eight weeks. In Cleveland on Sunday, [...]

Brady Throws TD, INT as Giants Beat Pats 20-17

By ⋅ September 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In two years, a game around this time of year will actually mean something, as it’ll probably be Week 2 under the proposed 18-game schedule. But, we’re still in the 16-game format in 2010, which means Thursday’s Week 4 match represented the most meaningless on the schedule. Whether or not that it counted, the Patriots [...]

Brown Kicks Game-Winning Field Goal as Rams win in Foxboro

By ⋅ August 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The old guard (though not as old as, say, that fellow over in Minnesota) took on the new guard Thursday night at Gillette Stadium. For the 2-0 New England Patriots: Tom Brady, entering his eleventh season, holder of records, winner of MVPs and Super Bowls alike. For the 1-1 St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, the [...]

Edelman Impressive as Patriots Top Saints 27-24

By ⋅ August 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The 2009 seasons for the Patriots and Saints could not have ended any more different. The Patriots were obliterated out of the playoffs by the Ravens at Gillette Stadium 33-14 back in January, while the Saints won their first Super Bowl, beating Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts a month later. Moving on to 2010, [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: Quarterbacks

By ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady, having just turned 33 on Tuesday, remains the face of the Patriots and likely the most important player on the team. Having his first healthy off-season since the infamous knee injury in 2008, one would think that the start of this pre-season would be a happy return to his craft, but that has [...]

Patriots Report Card: Week 17

By ⋅ January 6, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Quarterback: C I was tempted to cut Tom Brady some slack and give him an “Incomplete” on his report card this week, but the Patriots quarterback played most of the game on Sunday. He was replaced by rookie Brian Hoyer (Michigan State) in the second quarter, and on the Patriots’ last drive.  Brady’s stat line was [...]

Pats Meet Texans in Season Finale

By ⋅ January 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Are you ready for the bye-week? New England has already secured a playoff spot and there is no big difference between the three and four seed. With the Bengals probably doing the same, New England will most likely play just a little to avoid rust, then the Brian Hoyer show begins. This is all good [...]

Andrew Walter Released by Patriots – A.J. Feeley a Target?

By ⋅ September 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Patriots have released potential backup QB Andrew Walter. Walter played for the Raiders last season, but obviously didn’t have what it took to stay with the Patriots this year. Walter was just recently signed by the Patriots a one month and a day ago. The decision leaves Brian Hoyer holding the reigns as the [...]

By ⋅ September 4, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The Patriots beat the Giants in the fourth meaningless game of the pre-season last night at Gillette, overcoming an early 21-0 deficit. Here’s three things we learned from the game: 1.
