Game of Inches: Patriots Squeaked Out Win Over Undisciplined Bills

By DMac ⋅ 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 [...]

Week 8: Notes and Observations vs. St. Louis Rams in London

By Steve Bastek ⋅ October 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Allow me to do my best impersonation of Bill Belichick and try to find negatives in an overwhelmingly positive game. After all, I wouldn’t be a Boston sports fan if I still couldn’t find things to complain about…

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

By DMac ⋅ 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 [...]

Week 7: Notes and Observations vs. the New York Jets

By Steve Bastek ⋅ October 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

- I’ve been saying it all season that the problem with the Patriots, contrary to popular belief, is not the defense, but is this supposedly high powered offense. They showed glimpses of brilliance against the Bills, Broncos, and Titans, but to say they are inconsistent is a huge understatement. They lack an identity. – One [...]

Patriots Do Everything to Give Away Another Late Lead, Can’t Quite Pull Off the Loss

By John ⋅ October 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

No one can say the Patriots don’t bring plenty of drama in their games. In beating their arch rival Jets 29-26, the Patriots let New York get ahead early, came back to open up a lead, let New York back in it, opened another lead, let New York take the lead, tied the game and [...]

Patriots Can’t Close Out Seahawks, or Anyone Else Lately

By Steve Bastek ⋅ October 15, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Seattle Seahawks upset the New England Patriots 24-23 in Seattle on Sunday. Winning by 13 in the fourth quarter, the Patriots were not able to capitalize on offensive opportunities that could have sealed the victory for them. Instead they allowed the Seahawks to get back into the game, and eventually score the go ahead [...]

Patriots Report Card: Week 5 vs. Broncos

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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 [...]

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

The Patriots rallied from a 21-7 deficit in Buffalo to defeat their AFC East rival by a final score of 52-28. The game started off well as the Patriots’ defense was able to force a punt on Buffalo’s first drive. The punt pinned the Patriots at their own 10 yard line, but that didn’t phase [...]

Patriots Video: Tom Brady Swears at Bills Fans

By KC Downey ⋅ September 30, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Tom Brady is a golden boy, for sure, but if you dare tell him he didn’t score a rushing touchdown to tie the game, he’s going to let you hear it. After officials confirmed Brady’s touchdown in Sunday’s win over the Bills, CBS cameras caught Brady mouthing, “F*ck you, bitches” to Bills fans in Buffalo. [...]

Patriots Report Card: Week 3 vs. Ravens

By Matt Goisman ⋅ September 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Before Sunday’s New England Patriots-Baltimore Ravens game, noted actor (also Ravens linebacker) Ray Lewis said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold. We on fire tonight.” Facing a mind like that, the Patriots should count themselves lucky they just lost, as opposed to waking up tied to a chair in a basement somewhere. But lose [...]

Patriots Lose Heart Breaker in Baltimore on Sunday Night
