New England Patriots Report Card: Super Bowl XLVI

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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 [...]

Hey Patriots, “Coffee is for Closers”

By gcain ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Alec Baldwin famously said “Coffee is for closers” in the movie “Glengarry Glen Ross,” and when it came to Super Bowl 46, he couldn’t be more right. The Patriots couldn’t close. I have had a couple days to digest, and I am like many Patriot fans, I’m ready to move on. I wanted to reflect [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Divisional Round

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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 [...]

Growing Your Wes Welker Playoff Mustache?

By KC Downey ⋅ January 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I have a stubble beard going…so technically you can count me in, but I’m not going nearly as hardcore as Wes Welker or Tim Thomas. But in case you haven’t heard, Welker is growing out his playoff mustache and is urging Patriots fans to do the same ahead of tomorrow’s clash with the Broncos. So, [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 17

By Matt Goisman ⋅ 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. [...]

New England Patriots Report Card: Week 16

By Matt Goisman ⋅ December 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Miami Dolphins narrowly avoided disaster Saturday against the New England Patriots. Somehow a group of talented, motivated football players broke into their locker room, knocked everyone out, stole their uniforms and took the field for kickoff. The “Dolphins” went into halftime up 17-0. Luckily, the true – and truly terrible – Dolphins regained consciousness [...]

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

The New England Patriots took every punch the Miami Dolphins threw at them in the first half of Sunday afternoon’s game at Gillette.

By Taylor ⋅ 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.

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. Tom Brady dissected the Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary, the defense allowed just three points across 50 minutes of football, and the Patriots handed the “dream team” Eagles a 38-20 nightmare of a defeat. The [...]

Dream On: Patriots Maul Philadelphia Eagles 38-20

By Taylor ⋅ November 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots (8-3) made it three in a row against Philadelphia (4-7) Sunday, throttling the Eagles 38-20 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa. Brady, Offense In Sync After a shaky first drive that resulted in a punt, Tom Brady and the New England offense were brilliant all afternoon. Brady tossed for 361 [...]

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. These numbers are far and away the worst they’ve ever been for Ochocinco, who averaged five catches and 74 yards per game in his first 10 seasons. Ochocinco has given the Patriots virtually nothing as he takes his sweet [...]

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 [...]

Patriots Set to Take Flight Against Jets in Key Week 5 Contest

By Taylor ⋅ October 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment
