If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 12

By ⋅ November 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just over a month remains in the season, and it’s still an entertaining battleground. The weakened Steelers are making for a great Wildcard race in the AFC, while the Pats and Broncos are both challenging for a bye. The Wildcard race in the NFC is even more of a frenzy; even the Redskins are making [...]

Who is Steve Gregory?

By ⋅ November 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

If you watched the Patriots slaughter the Jets on Thursday night, there is probably a series of questions that have been on your mind. One question is, “who is Steve Gregory and where did he come from?” Well I know I certainly had to find out for myself after his wonderful performance on Thursday. Where [...]

Is Bill Belichick the Greatest Coach of All Time?

By ⋅ November 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Is Bill Belichick the greatest coach in NFL history? He is undoubtedly the greatest coach in the history of the Patriots organization. He has won all three of the Super Bowl titles that they have ever won, and has the best winning percentage of any coach in the organization as well. His .649 win percentage [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 11

By ⋅ November 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a month and a half remain in the NFL season, and things just keep getting better. The Giants and Bears are slipping. The Cowboys, Saints and Buccaneers are climbing back into the race. More key injuries are occurring, with Ben Roethlisberger and Rob Gronkowski leaving the Steelers and Patriots respectively, quite possibly for some [...]

Patriots Getting Ready for Andrew Luck, a Rookie Quarterback Playing Like a Veteran

By ⋅ November 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

This year has been notable for many things in the NFL, one being the high number of rookie quarterbacks starting. This may have had something to do with the success of 2011 rookies Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, as each started every game last year. This year there have been five first-year quarterbacks who have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 10

By ⋅ November 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Ten weeks into the season, and there are finally no unbeatens remaining. Yes, the Falcons finally lost, but it was still a great game. Houston helped them out by handing Chicago a loss, but that wasn’t a shameful loss either. As if there wasn’t enough action so far, things are only picking up, so let’s [...]

Game of Inches: Patriots Squeaked Out Win Over Undisciplined Bills

By ⋅ November 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As the Patriots concluded their first three-game winning streak of the season, should fans feel better or worse about the state of the defense? Sure that “bend but don’t break” muscle was flexed extremely hard (similar to Brandon Spikes following his knockout of Fred Jackson late in the fourth quarter), but there were a few [...]

Patriots Halfway Point: Looking at the Remaining 2012 Schedule

By ⋅ November 9, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The bye-week could not have come at a better time for the banged up New England Patriots. With injuries to Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Logan Mankins, Brandon Spikes, and a good amount of the secondary, a bye could be just what the doctor ordered for the second half of the season. The Patriots stand at [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

By ⋅ November 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Nine weeks into the season, many teams still have legitimate chances of making waves. The Vikings are down, the Steelers are up and the Falcons are still (barely) unbeaten. Three AFC divisions are only led by a game, so not only are the Wildcard slots up for grabs, the seeding overall is still chaotic. In [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 8

By ⋅ October 30, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re halfway through the season for many teams, and many divisions are starting to open up. The Wildcard races are still pretty interesting, being continually shaken up with new teams. Some teams are in a tailspin, while others are picking up steam. In the ever volatile season we’re seeing so far, let’s look at what [...]

Patriots beat Rams in a Good Ole’ Fashioned Romp in London

By ⋅ October 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The last few weeks, it seems like a lot of the talk about the Patriots has been about the sluggish offense and anemic pass defense combining to blow games in the last minutes of the fourth quarter. Entering what had all of the signs of a trap game, the Patriots traveled overseas and showed up [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 7

By ⋅ October 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Seven weeks into the season, and there’s still no shortage of dramatic games. The Patriots barely avoided another upset. So did the Giants, for that matter. Houston took command of the AFC. San Francisco took over their division. The Wildcard situation, tight as it is, makes for a constantly shifting group of teams. With everything [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 6

By ⋅ October 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Six weeks into the season, many teams are finding it difficult to pull ahead in their divisions. The juggernauts of Baltimore, Houston and Atlanta are the only ones to lead their divisions by more than one game. The AFC East is in a four-way tie, and the NFC West is in a three-way lead, with [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 5

By ⋅ October 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After Week 5, there have been plenty of highlights. The Saints finally won. The Cardinals finally lost. The AFC North is once again a power division. All NFC West teams are somehow above .500. Everyone except the Browns has won. Everyone except the Texans and Falcons has lost. The standings are undergoing changes, so let’s [...]

Patriots Report Card: Week 5 vs. Broncos

By ⋅ October 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox have the Yankees. The Celtics have the Lakers. The Bruins have the Canadiens. And Tom Brady and the Patriots have Peyton Manning and the Colts Broncos. While the first three rivalries sometimes fail to live up to expectations, the Brady-Manning rivalry consistently delivers excitement and suspense. Brady vs. Manning, Round 13, went [...]
