Tom Not-So-Terrific Down Stretch: Changes Coming to the Offense?

Published on February 21, 2013, by in NFL, Patriots.

Tom Brady didn’t have much to hold his head high about in the second half of the season.   It wasn’t just the fact that the New England Patriots fell on their home turf to the rival Baltimore Ravens, but the manner in which they fell apart in the second half that had many fans

No Guarantee Talib Will Return

Published on February 8, 2013, by in NFL, Patriots.

Despite his character’s flawed past, Talib would surely be missed by Patriot Nation if he weren’t signed by the team prior to this upcoming season. You didn’t have to be an avid fan of the 2012 New England Patriots to know that one of their central flaws was the play of their defensive secondary.  And

Brady On Point Last Few Games

Published on November 23, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Tom Brady has had no problem completing passes and protecting the football over the last five games.   For those of you that said earlier in the season that Tom Brady was showing signs of being done, that he was too old and too fragile to be a quarterback in the NFL anymore, what do

Patriot’s Offense Will Survive Without Gronk

Published on November 20, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

There is no doubt Rob Gronkowski’s broken forearm, which will keep him out four to six weeks, will hurt the Patriot’s offense, but the team will continue to produce without him.  They have too many weapons not too.  Yes, Gronk is a major part of the offense, but other players will step up and produce.

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

Reunion of Past Foes

Published on October 5, 2012, by in NFL, Patriots.

Even coming off of multiple neck surgeries in the offseason, Peyton Manning hasn’t missed a beat in the regular season. Brady vs. Manning. Patriots vs. Broncos. The 13th regular season meeting between the two, Brady leading with a 8-4 record and 2-1 mark in the playoffs. A rematch of the 2011 AFC divisional round. Honestly,
