Patriots 2012 Off-Season Priorities: Wide Receivers

By ⋅ March 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In an off-season that perhaps is even more exciting than last year’s lockout-shortened free agency period, the Patriots have plenty of needs.  None are bigger, however, than wide receiver and defensive end. Let’s first look at receiver. Last season, we saw a soon-to-be 33-year-old Deion Branch get even older right before our eyes, totaling only [...]

2012 Patriots Blueprint to New Orleans (If They Don’t Sign Wes Welker)

By ⋅ February 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Tuesday, I introduced my blueprint for the Patriots offseason…if they re-sign Wes Welker. The following looks at the what the Patriots should do if they cannot sign their best wide receiver. Scenario #2 – the Patriots let Wes Welker walk This scenario would not surprise me in the least. Welker vs. Samuel It would be a [...]

2012 Patriots Blueprint to New Orleans (If They Sign Wes Welker)

By ⋅ February 21, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

I wrote at the end of September that Bill Belichick had lost his fastball on defense. As it turned out, I was wrong. Given the personnel, I thought it was a near miracle that the Patriots were an incomplete pass from a Super Bowl championship. Looking back, it was one of his finest coaching seasons. [...]

Rob Gronkowski Undergoes Successful Ankle Surgery

By ⋅ February 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

While Rob Gronkowski’s ankle injury limited him to just 2 catches for 26 yards in the Super Bowl, it didn’t stop him from “Party-Gronking” just a couple hours after the game was over. It led me to wonder… how bad is his ankle really hurt? Well, Gronk went under the knife Friday for some arthroscopic [...]

Just thought I’d share this hilarious clip Toucher & Rich shared on their Facebook page… Imagine Gronk on Jersey Shore! Yo soy fiesta.

New England Patriots Report Card: Super Bowl XLVI

By ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Well… crap. Just like four years ago, the New England Patriots came up just a couple plays short of beating the New York Giants and claiming their fourth Lombardi Trophy Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI. Instead, Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning once again bested Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, with Manning executing yet another fourth-quarter [...]

Video: Gronkowski, Light Party Shirtless After Super Bowl Loss

By ⋅ February 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light were caught on camera partying shirtless on stage with LMFAO at the Patriots after-party just hours after losing the Super Bowl on Sunday night/early Monday morning. Is there anything wrong with this picture? I have a few different feelings about this…

New England Patriots Report Card: AFC Championship

By ⋅ January 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Baltimore Ravens shut down the New England Patriots’ receivers in Sunday’s AFC Championship, rattled Tom Brady and held the Patriots to their fewest points since October. And they still didn’t win. The Patriots beat the Ravens, 23-20, advancing to their fifth Super Bowl of the new millennium when Ravens place-kicker Billy Cundiff badly missed [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Divisional Round

By ⋅ January 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Book of 2 Timothy states: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” The Book of Tom states: “Good for you. I just whomped your ass.” Any comparisons between Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos and Tom Brady and the New England Patriots died following Saturday’s [...]

Rob Gronkowski Has Returned the Tight End to the NFL

By ⋅ January 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As strength and conditioning training has gotten better and better over the years, NFL players have become stronger and faster. Running backs like Adrian Peterson can both bust through lanes without a lead-blocker and also break tackles on short-yardage runs. Slot-receivers like Wes Welker can slip into the middle of the field, then burst for [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 17

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

All’s well that ends well. The New England Patriots overcame an early 21-point deficit Sunday, blowing out the Bills in the second half and cruising to home-field advantage for the playoffs. Final score: Patriots 49, Bills 21. A fitting revenge after the Bills came back from being down 21 to beat the Patriots in September. [...]

Patriots Rally to Defeat Buffalo 49-21, Clinch Homefield Advantage

By ⋅ January 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots (13-3) made sure that the AFC playoffs will go through Foxborough this postseason, coming back from a 21-0 first-quarter deficit to top the Buffalo Bills 49-21 to conclude the regular season at Gillette Stadium. The win is the Patriots’ eighth consecutive triumph, and they split the season series with the Bills [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 14

By ⋅ December 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

To beat the New England Patriots, a team must play perfectly for 60 minutes. Even when Tom Brady is so out of sorts he gets into a screaming match with his offensive coordinator, the Patriots still score so much that anything short of error-free football won’t cut it. The Washington Redskins made two mistakes Sunday: [...]

Patriots Hold on Against Washington, 34-27

By ⋅ December 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It may not have been their best day or most efficient performance, but the New England Patriots advanced to 10-3 with a 34-27 victory over the Washington Redskins at Fedex Field in Landover, Md. Brady, Offense in Rhythm Despite a road game against the NFL’s 10th-ranked defense, Tom Brady and the New England offense seemingly [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 13

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Indianapolis Colts gave the New England Patriots a late-game scare Sunday afternoon, but ultimately all the Colts could do was lose with dignity. The Patriots beat the Colts, 31-24, continuing the Colts’ winless season and for now moving the Patriots into first place in the AFC. Who’s using this game for college credit, and [...]
