PATS on the Back: Patriots vs. Colts, Week 10

By ⋅ November 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

You probably didn’t think fumbles could happen from the sidelines, did ya? Well Sunday night in Indianapolis, that’s exactly what happened. Coach Bill Belichick, the infallible one himself, figuratively fumbled the game away, opting to go for the first down on 4th-and-2, at their own 28 yard line. And just like that, a great effort [...]

Rebutting “Conventional Wisdom”

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

By Charlie This is in response to John, who thinks that going for it on 4th and 2 is too risky, and in accordance with George, who praised Bill Belichick for the move. The math has been done on Belichick’s already-infamous decision to go for it on 4th down on Sunday night. But, there are [...]

4th and Too Much to Risk

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

George disagrees with John, and thinks we should be praising Bill Belichick. Charlie challenges John’s claim that Belichick’s call was “risky.” Coach Belichick fancies himself a powerful wizard when it comes to making gutsy but logical play calls, but on Sunday, the wizard didn’t find himself taken seriously. 4th and 2, up by six, 2:08 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 10

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

More than half way through, the playoff situation is starting to take shape. The Colts are in reasonable command in the East (ick) over Cincinnati. The Vikings and Saints are still dueling for first in the West. The Wild Card races are the most interesting by far. At 5-4 after starting 5-0, not playing this [...]

Patriots Give Colts Early Christmas Present

By ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

The title says it all; with the game in hand, the Patriots gave it away to their arch rival Colts, who took the game 35-34 in the closing seconds. It started out punch for punch, with the Colts getting the ball to start, and each team going three and out. The Colts struck first with [...]

A Better Look at the Brady vs. Manning Debate

By ⋅ November 13, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I’m pretty sure everyone in the world is aware that the AFC East-leading Pats are taking on the undefeated Colts this Sunday night, even people on the other side of the world who have the misguided notion that football is a sport played exclusively with your feet by men who purposefully fall down anytime an [...]

Patriots Gaining Momentum, Colts Facing Injuries

By ⋅ November 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Bob Sanders tore his bicep last week versus the San Francisco 49ers and is out for the season—the usual. This is without a doubt a blow to the Colts defense, but something the Colts staff probably planned for since Sanders has missed 40 of 87 games in his six year career. The Colts still have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

By ⋅ November 10, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

What a week. The Giants continued their fall from grace. Tennessee is trying to mount what would have to be considered one of the largest NFL comebacks ever from 0-6. New Orleans came back again against a team they probably should never have been trailing by a lot. Even Tampa Bay got in on the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 8

By ⋅ November 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

And then there were two. With Denver dropping to Baltimore, the Colts and Saints are left as the only unbeaten teams in the NFL. The Rams and Titans finally won, leaving the Buccaneers, on a bye week, as the only winless team left. The long-touted return of Brett Favre to Green Bay ended with the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 7

By ⋅ October 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Things in the NFL have remained more or less stable from last week, with the top dogs still in place. Though Brett Favre would probably have rather had more than a few mulligans. Each conference has seen only one potential playoff spot change hands; the NFC reformed itself to look more like last year while [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 6

By ⋅ October 21, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The 2009-2010 NFL season is already full of surprises. Who would have thought the lowly Bengals would be so mighty, or the mighty Titans so lowly? Old Man Favre looks quite young and Tom Terrific set records like nobody’s business. Rookies Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford are starting to fail their fans. Put all this [...]

Top Ten Shakeups for the 2009 NFL Season

By ⋅ September 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The 2009 NFL Season starts Thursday, and everyone is excited about it. Which teams will be the heavyweights this year? Which players will be the standouts? Will all the teams with quarterback problems solve them? After both #1 seeds from the 2007 season failed to even make the playoffs in the 2008 season, anything can [...]

UConn Running Back Donald Brown to Colts at #27

By ⋅ April 25, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Donald Brown becomes the second player out of a New England college to be drafted in the first round, following B.J. Raji’s selection at #9 to the Packers.  He is the highest Connecticut draftee in history. The Huskies just made the jump to Division I about ten years ago, so the NFL pipeline will just [...]

Vinatieri Hits Late FG, Colts Edge Patriots 18-15

By ⋅ November 3, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Adam Vinatieri proved to be one of the clutchest kickers in the history of the NFL during his years with the Patriots. Now with the Indianapolis Colts, Vinatieri has continued to have a high level of success. Against his former team, the kicker hit a 52-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that turned out to [...]

WWE “Experts” Weigh in on NFL Playoffs

By ⋅ January 11, 2008 ⋅ One comment

World Wrestling Entertainment asked some of their wrestlers and valets to make their pick for a team to win the Superbowl based on the remaining teams. Despite the fact that WWE is located in New England, none of the “experts” chose the Patriots, or even last year’s Superbowl winner, the Indianapolis Colts. Brilliant. JBL chose [...]
