New England Patriots Report Card: Week 13

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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 [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 12

By Matt Goisman ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It took the New England Patriots a drive to get in rhythm, but once they did, Sunday’s game went according to plan.

The [...]

It worked for about 20 minutes, but the Patriots eventually solved the Chiefs’ defense. The end result: a 34-3 Patriot [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Patriots Make Kansas City Look Like Chief Wild Eagle

By Michael ⋅ November 22, 2011 ⋅ One comment

1. OFFENSE * Brady looked grumpy again even after sniffing ammonia before kickoff (that doesn’t look good – NFL should put an end to that in public). * Any mere mortal would have broke their neck if they took the same fall that Gronkowski did on his second touchdown. * Trying to get Wes Welker [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 10

By Matt Goisman ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After weeks of offensive malaise and defensive incompetency, the New England Patriots returned to form Sunday, beating the New York Jets, 37-16.

Rob Gronkowski and Porn Star Bibi Jones: Which is the Hotter Tight End?

By Matt Goisman ⋅ October 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

So with no Patriots game last weekend, what did everyone do? Me, I split my time between working at the Head of the Charles Regatta, working at home, and hanging at a few bars that I’d been in many times before. What did New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski do with his weekend off? He hung [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 6

By Matt Goisman ⋅ October 18, 2011 ⋅ One comment

For the first 25 minutes the New England Patriots had the ball against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, they played sloppy, uncreative football. But down three points with 2:31 left in the game, Tom Brady led a precision air-strike that culminated in Brady’s 8-yard bullet to Aaron Hernandez in the end zone, completing yet [...]

In Defense of Chad Ochocinco

By Matt Goisman ⋅ October 17, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Chad Ochocinco has nine catches, 136 receiving yards and no touchdowns in six games this season.

Ochocinco has given the Patriots virtually nothing as he takes his sweet [...]

By Nick Bohlen ⋅ October 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It turns out New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has a pretty good sense of humor. Unless you’re a Boston Red Sox fan still worked up over the recent fried chicken scandal. In a locker room interview with the media, Hernandez answered all sorts of questions, ranging from this week’s match-up against the Dallas [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 5

By Matt Goisman ⋅ October 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Though it wasn’t the 45-3 dismembering the Patriots gave the Jets last season, the Patriots still drew first blood against their rivals from New Jersey Sunday when they beat the Jets, 30-21. The Patriots are now one 30-point game shy of the St. Louis Rams’ NFL-record 14 consecutive games. Who’s moving to the head of [...]
