Who Will Win the Super Bowl?

By ⋅ February 6, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

In recent years, the grand majority of Super Bowl predictions have always favored the same team. The New England Patriots were heavily picked against in their first Super Bowl appearance following the 2001 season, then were heavily favored in their next three. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were heavily favored over the Oakland Raiders in 2002, [...]

Patriots Fans Should Wear Cheeseheads on Super Bowl Sunday

By ⋅ February 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If Aaron Rodgers wins the Super Bowl, he will most certainly take his place in the uppermost echelon of quarterbacks. When ESPN and the NFL Network endlessly debate the best quarterback in the game, he will be considered with established greats like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Patriots fans should not feel threatened [...]

Packers, Steelers Advance To Super Bowl XLV

With a 24-19 loss in the AFC Championship Game, the Jets did not qualify for the Super Bowl, and they have not been to the big game since 1969 (when they won Super Bowl III with Joe Namath under center). In his interview with CBS after the game, Rex Ryan looked as if he had [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 16

By ⋅ December 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Just one week left in the season! Nine of the 12 teams have punched their ticket so far, and as long as the Rams lose or tie in Week 17, a losing team will make the playoffs. The AFC’s road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxboro, and unless the Falcons lose at home to [...]

PATS on the Back: Week 15 vs. Green Bay

By ⋅ December 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In between those obnoxious Hyundai commercials, the Patriots were able to squeak out a victory on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, edging out Matt Flynn and the Green Bay Packers, 31-27 at Gillette Stadium. That’s right… Matt Flynn, household name, right? There hasn’t been a quarterback that’s looked that good against the Patriots since… well… Cleveland’s [...]

The Green Bay Packers hit the New England Patriots as hard as they possibly could. But in the end, it was the Packers who found themselves on the ground. The Patriots sacked backup Packers quarterback Matt Flynn five times, including twice in the last four downs of the game, and the Patriots held on to [...]

Packers vs. Patriots: Who’s Matt Flynn?

By ⋅ December 19, 2010 ⋅ One comment

As the Patriots prepare for their Sunday night showdown against the Green Bay Packers, there will be an unfamiliar face at the helm for the Packers. With starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers ruled out, head coach Mike McCarthy announced that Matt Flynn will make his first career start. To most, Flynn is exactly what he looks [...]

A Tale of Two Franchises

By ⋅ December 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When it comes to winning championships, there is little comparison between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers, founded in 1919, predate the Patriots by 40 years, and the Packers won six NFL titles during that time, including three-peating from 1929-1931. Then came the 60s, a decade in which the Packers [...]

Patriots Keys to Victory: Week 15 vs. Packers

By ⋅ December 19, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After blowing out the NFC North division-leading Bears 36-7 in Chicago, the New England Patriots (11-2) now appear unbeatable.  Sunday’s victory marked the second time in as many weeks the Pats have dismantled a division leader. Barring a complete catastrophe, New England will without-a-doubt clinch the number one-seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs. [...]

Lo, How Things Have Changed

Being as big a nerd as I am a sports fan, I used to love shopping for school supplies before the new school year began. Before beginning the eighth grade, I needed to buy five different notebooks, one for each subject. I picked nondescript Trapper Keepers for the first four, then decided to live a [...]

Patriots-Packers Preview

By ⋅ December 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Both the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots carry the burden of history on their shoulders. The Packers used to be one of the great franchises in sports history. They’ve won a combined 12 NFL (pre AFL-merger) and Super Bowl championships. They’ve produced Hall of Famers with names like Curly Lambeau, Bart Starr, [...]

A Patriots-Packers Retrospective

By ⋅ December 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers have played nine times since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Counting Super Bowl XXXI, the Packers have won five games. The two teams are split 2-2 for games played in Foxborough. Let’s look back at all nine match-ups, ranked semi-arbitrarily by order of importance and quality. 9) [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 11

By ⋅ November 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re six weeks away from knowing who will face who in January, and Chilly won’t be around to see it. Houston fell yet again, and the Jets won late again, the Falcons came up big in St Louis, and the Panthers are the new Rams, thanks to Buffalo’s massive comeback over Cincy. Thanks to New [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

By ⋅ November 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Things have suddenly gotten interesting. The Patriots are no longer the best team around, and the Rams are doing something right. And remember the Saints’ poor start? They’re now half a game out of the best record in the league. Ditto for the packers, and just one game back for the Colts. And three games [...]
