Patriots, Aqib Talib Reach One-Year, $5M Agreement

By Nick Bohlen ⋅ March 16, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots carried their Friday frenzy of free agent signings into Saturday, reportedly reaching a one-year, $5 million agreement with cornerback Aqib Talib, according to WEEI’s Christopher Price. (The report came via ESPN’s Adam Schefter, unsurprisingly, who is apparently “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” of NFL free agency news in terms of [...]

Patriots Acquire Aqib Talib from the Buccaneers

By Steve Bastek ⋅ November 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The trade deadline was extended to Thursday (today) and the Patriots made a move in an attempt to plug the glaring hole that is their secondary. They traded their 2013 4th round pick in exchange for Buccaneers’ cornerback Aqib Talib and a 7th round pick. Talib has had a few off the field problems in his [...]

Patriots to Return to London Next Season to Face Rams

By Nick Bohlen ⋅ January 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s hope the British don’t have any leftover grudges from the Revolutionary War, because the Patriots are scheduled to return to London next season for the NFL’s annual trip across the pond. On Oct. 28, the New England Patriots will square off against the St. Louis Rams at 1:00 p.m. EST in Wembley Stadium to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 4

By John ⋅ October 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re already through a quarter of the NFL season, and we’ve already seen a lot of surprises. Some people though Detroit would be good, but I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-0 good. Buffalo finally knocked off New England. Philadelphia has been quite lackluster. Tampa’s holding their own in the ultra competitive NFC South. [...]

Patriots’ Starters Cruise in 31-14 Win Over Tampa

By Taylor ⋅ August 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots continued to look impressive in this 2011 preseason, easily dispatching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. The team jumped out to an early 21-0 first-quarter lead, reaching the endzone on each of the offense’s first three possessions. The defense matched the effort, sacking Tampa starting [...]

Where Are They Now: Eugene Wilson, CB, Illinois

By Matthew Marcantonio ⋅ April 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Heading into the 2003 season, the Patriots signed veteran safety Rodney Harrison to play along side one of the league’s best in Lawyer Milloy. When Milloy wouldn’t restructure his contract, the Patriots released the Pro-Bowler just five days before the season. Milloy joined AFC east foe Buffalo. The immediate result? A 31-0 thrashing from the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 8

By John ⋅ November 2, 2010 ⋅ One comment

How about this for an ultimate rematch three years in the making. We all remember the day the undefeated season died, when the Giants beat the Patriots in a game in which New England could have tried harder. But they’re the best team in the league again this year, even without Randy Moss. It remains [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 7

By John ⋅ October 26, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Something’s going on in the NFL. The AFC West is completely flopped from last season, New Orleans lost at home to Cleveland, and the Cowboys and Vikings are still not too good, and Green Bay is borderline. At least we still have one winless team in Buffalo to root for to fail. The Colts are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 5

By John ⋅ October 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

As quickly as Week 5, no more unbeaten teams are left. Though there are three winless teams, and surprisingly, none of them are the Lions or Rams. The Chiefs defense looked pretty good, but after losing several gambles and not scoring a touchdown against the Colts, how long can the Chiefs keep it up? And [...]

2010 NFL Predictions: NFC South

By Colin Neagle ⋅ September 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The NFC South is interesting as it holds last year’s Super Bowl champion entering its first post-Super Bowl season in franchise history. Add to that a healthy, hungry Atlanta Falcons team coming off of a disappointing season last year, and we’re talking about a division that could hold two threats to go deep in this [...]

NFC South Fantasy Preview

By Brian Kintz ⋅ August 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The NFC South is a story of two “haves” and two “have-nots.” The ultimate “have” are the reigning Super Bowl champs, the New Orleans Saints. From top to bottom, on both sides of the ball, the Saints are stacked with stars that will no doubt have New Orleans thinking repeat, all season long. From there, [...]

PATS on the Back: Patriots vs. Bucs, Week 7

By Brian Kintz ⋅ October 26, 2009 ⋅ One comment

It can’t be considered “mistake-free football” for the Pats in Sunday’s 35-7 win over Tampa Bay, but New England’s play was still far superior compared to the listless performance from the Bucs, earning New England their first road win of the season. In front of 84,000+ fans at Wembley Stadium in England, the Patriots were [...]

Pats Cross the Pond and Bombard the Bucs

By John ⋅ October 25, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Now this is more like it. After destroying the Titans in the year’s first snow bowl, the Patriots headed to London and dismantled another winless team, Tampa Bay, 35-7. The Pats wasted little time doing anything, when Brandon Meriweather intercepted a pass and ran it back 39 yards for a touchdown, on just the fifth [...]
