Fall is upon us, and while we’re sad to see the summer coming to a close, fantasy football fanatics across the globe are salivating, as the 2010 NFL season is quickly approaching. If you’re as fanatical about fantasy football as I am, you’ve probably already begun reading [...]
Dear Wes Welker, First off it’s great to see that you’re recovering extremely fast. I was scared when you were injured during that Texans game in Week 17. The Patriots desperately needed you in the playoffs and unfortunately, we were bounced in the Wild Card round by the Ravens. Last season you were ridiculous. I [...]
This isn’t the 2007 Patriots’ offense, as much as we hope it can play like it. But since that record-breaking season, the wide receivers in New England have come and gone, grown old and grown up. The Pats’ offense has seen some major development in the past three years: Randy Moss is approaching the end [...]
With training camps closing down and a new season coming up, the previews, predictions and breakdowns of the NFL are starting to come out. FOXSports.com’s Pete Shrager recently came out with his idea of the 100 best players in the NFL. While he deserves some credit for putting the time to gather the information and [...]
It wasn’t too long ago that the Patriots’ defensive line was the most consistent part of the defense, if not the team. But since Richard Seymour could no longer fit the budget, the void he left has been bigger than any of us expected. Lately, the defensive line has been so questionable that some have [...]
When the Patriots took the field for OTAs on Wednesday, a familiar, but unexpected face took the field with them. Only four months removed from major surgery to repair his torn ACL and MCL, Wes Welker was just another Patriots player getting some reps in under the beating sun. Extent of Activity While he did [...]
Patriots fans had a lot of questions leading up to New England’s first round pick in this year’s draft. But, after trading down multiple spots, fans had even more questions after the team made its first pick. Who is Devin McCourty? Sure, a select few draft nerds had heard the name. But even fewer expected [...]
Being a Patriots fans has it’s positives and negatives. On the good side, there are three championships and annually being a contenders in the National Football League. From top to bottom they are a perfectly run business. The problem? Growing attached to a New England Patriot never ends like you want. The Pats understand that [...]
In the midst of the true dead season for the NFL, Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has made headlines in suggesting this will probably be his last year playing for New England. Moss – whose contract expires at the end of the 2010 season – suggested Saturday that he doesn’t expect the Patriots to re-sign [...]
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced today that former Patriot Donte’ Stallworthwill be reinstated in the NFL after the Super Bowl on Sunday. This comes after Stallworth spent 24 days in jail for DUI manslaughter and he was suspended without pay this past August. The accident happened last March in South Florida and it was questioned whether or [...]
With the Patriots being blown out by the Ravens during Wild Card weekend, there have been many speculating that their reign may be over. It’s an easy statement to be made. After a decade of dominance, New England struggled this season, barely won the AFC East and then were dismantled at home 33-14 by Baltimore [...]
The Patriots took quite the beating at the hands of the Ravens on Sunday to lose their first home playoff game in the Belichick-Brady era. It wasn’t pretty, but it did tell us one thing—Wes Welker would not have made a difference. The Patriots were outplayed by so much that their top offensive weapon would [...]
And just like that, another Patriots season is in the books, sooner than many expected. At the beginning of the 2009 season, there were several pundits that were predicting the Pats as Super Bowl XLIV champs. But a “4th and 2,” a Welker injury, and a complete embarrassment in the wild card round later, New [...]
Quarterback: B- If you told me Tom Brady had 42 attempts in a game, I’d tell you he easily threw for over 300 yards. And if you then told me he threw for 200 yards, I’d be surprised. But 154 yards? On 42 attempts? You’re kidding, right? No, unfortunately not. This is what happened on [...]
So after the Patriots were unceremoniously dumped from the playoffs, public opinion seems to have the Patriots’ dynasty deteriorating, if it hasn’t already disappeared. The center of all the talk is obviously coach Bill Belichick, who some say is given too much free reign and isn’t being challenged enough by his assistant coaches and other [...]
