By ⋅ November 26, 2012 ⋅ 10 comments

1. Around the NFL: * Things aren’t falling the Patriots way – Ravens steal a victory after Houston did earlier this week – 4th and 29 conversion for Ravens is the longest in 12 years (NFL Redzone) – bogus spot by officials would have ended the game if placed correctly * Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman played a [...]

By ⋅ November 12, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

1. Patriots are average team: OFFENSE * Welker two big drops * If Woodhead got stopped before his first touchdown – I would have said they are overusing him, but he scored after his third straight play (just to be fair when I complain about him when it doesn’t work) * Brady screaming at Welker [...]
