Aqib Talib a Risky Addition for Patriots

Published on November 3, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

                          Talib has the talent to be a top 15 cornerback in the NFL, but his attitude has held him back. The Patriots secondary has been pathetic so far this season, and everyone knew something had to be done.  Bill Belichick knew it

London Victory Should Provide Second-Half Momentum

Published on November 2, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Stevan Ridley has been a pleasant surprise for Pats fans this season, as he is on pace to eclipse 1,400 yards by season’s end.   For those of you who honestly believed that the Patriots would slaughter the St. Louis Rams this past Sunday, you have more faith than I in the hometown team.  Sure,

Seattle A Tough Test

Published on October 12, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Marshaun Lynch is one of the NFL’s most elite backs, with a 4.5 yards-per-carry average, 101.6 yards per game, and two touchdowns on the season (ranked third). Come Sunday, the crowd inside Seattle’s CenturyLink Field won’t be the only hostile group of individuals ready to pounce on the Patriots. The Seahawks have a very hard-hitting,

Pats Hold On Against Broncos

Published on October 9, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Balanced playcalling led to Pats runners having wide lanes to work with all game long. The lucky 13th match-up between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady ended the way many of the previous games between the two had: with number 12 coming out on top. Brady won for the ninth time in comparison to Manning’s four

Pats Run All Over Bills

Published on October 2, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

To say that Sunday’s contest against the Buffalo Bills was an offensive onslaught for the New England Patriots would be quite the understatement. Well, at least in the second half, anyways. The Pats put up 45 points in the second half, scoring touchdowns on six of their eight possessions while holding the Bills to two

Pats Cut TE Winslow At Request

Published on September 27, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Well that was short-lived. After having signed with the New England Patriots just over a week ago, tight end Kellen Winslow was released by the team per request. Why Winslow decided to leave isn’t being said, but I suspect it’s for one of two reasons: he realized the Pats were going to use him for

Branch is Back!

Published on September 18, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Branch caught five touchdowns from Tom Brady last season, pricing a consistent option anywhere on the field. It seems that the Patriots have found a part-time solution for the absence of Aaron Hernandez in the offense. According to The Boston Globe, New England has re-signed WR Deion Branch after cutting him in the pre-season. There

Poor Practices, Distractions Plaguing Pats

Published on September 18, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

“We’re talking about practice,” former Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson told the media close to 10 years ago. “Not the game, but practice.” Unlike the self-absorbed Iverson, the New England Patriots seem to feel practice has a significant impact on one’s performance in the game. This has been a consistent approach for the team since

Trouble in New England?

Published on September 18, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

; ; ; After the first two games of the Patriots season, they are sitting a 1-1, certainly a disappointment but nothing to get concerned about yet. What does seem to be troubling though, is WR Wes Welker’s diminished role early on this season. He is currently sitting behind Brandon Llyod and Julian Edelman on

Home Opener Filled With Disappointment

Published on September 17, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

The Cardinals successfully attacked the Patriots’ central weakness, pressuring Tom Brady, and made things difficult all afternoon for the quarterback and his teammates. Outplayed. Outcoached. Overmatched. Whichever word you want to use to describe it, the Patriots got beat in every facet of the game yesterday against the Arizona Cardinals and lost, 20-18 as a
