Patriots Notes: Chad Johnson Comments, Wilfork Fined

I usually don’t pass along player comments, especially players from other teams, but this time it was different. I was looking forward to Chad Johnson trash talking, despite being a diehard Pats fan, because Chad is just a hilarious guy, who’s jokes are said with good intentions (cough, cough Ladainian cough Tomlinson cough). [...]

Patriots Notes: 9/26

Not too much to report. Interestingly, Tom Brady won the honors for AFC Offensive Player of the Week, after having above an 150 quarterback rating and throwing four touchdowns.
The team also released their initial injury report. The following players had limited participation in practice:
OLB Rosevelt Colvin (ankle)
CB Randall Gay (thigh)
RB Laurence Maroney (groin)
G [...]

Maroney is the Man

With nothing happening the past few days, I thought I’d give a perspective look at Patriots Runningback Laurence Maroney.
I was really rooting for the Patriots to draft Laurence Maroney on draft day 2006.  Every year, I pick a few players that I really want the Patriots to draft.  In 2003, it was Larry Johnson.  In 2004, [...]

Total Domination: Patriots Win 38-7

Another blowout for the Patriots.  Never have I seen a team this dominant.  It’s really fun to watch.
Despite leading 17-7 at half, I didn’t find the game very exciting up to that point.  But in the second half, the game was just fun to watch.
Who’s Stock is Up:
Tom Brady – Another four TD’s.  Completed over 80% [...]

Patriots Game 3 Preview: Bills at Patriots

Can the Patriots start 3-0?  That’s the big question heading into this week (0bviously).  Although this game seems like it should be a lock to win, I wouldn’t be too quick to put one in the W column.  Buffalo is a tough, underrated team.  They have a decent defense, and a youthful, exciting offense that is [...]

Pats Cleared of Further Charges

Mike Reiss’s blog says that the NFL higher ups are cool with what the Patriots have turned over and will destroy everything they surrendered. Looks like the threatened audio-espionage won’t accumulate into anything real. It’s about time we put this to bed. The penalty was too tough anyway, considering that it is just a technicality [...]

David Greene Signed to Practice Squad

It’s not too often you see a practice squad signing this big.  Greene, who played with the Georgia Bulldogs in college, and the Seahawks in the NFL, was a third round pick in 2005.  He was cut by the Seahawks a couple of days ago after he had a very dissapointing training camp.

Belichick Extension

I barely touched on this earlier, but reports are in that Belichick has signed an extension through 2013.  However, the date that the extension was unclear.  It could have easily been before the cheating incident, which it likely was (because I don’t think Kraft would hand Belichick more money after it).  But even if Belichick [...]

Leave Bill Belichick Alone!

Found this video today.  I thought it was too funny not to post:

Patriots Roll Over Chargers 38-14

I hope that sends a message to those who doubted us.  To those who said that the only reason the Patriots were winning was because they were stealing signals.  What does a 38-14 win over one of the best teams in the NFL suggest?  That maybe Bill Belichick is a cheater, and a jerk, but [...]
