Wow, heck of a first half. Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Tom Brady, Laurence Maroney, Ben Watson, Adalius Thomas, Randall Gay all looked great.
We might see the backups by the fourth!
Also, I’ll just point out that Shawne Merriman is one heck of a player. He seems to be pressuring Brady every play. He’s truly unbelievable.
Right now, there is a cloud hanging over the entire New England Patriots organization. A black cloud that won’t go away, and unless the Patriots win now, the cloud will put a mark on the Patriots’ dynasty. Belicheat better be telling his players that they need to win it all this year, for people to look [...]
There hasn’t been much going on with the Pats this week in terms of actual football. The whole cheating incident has covered up most other stories. But I’ve tried my best to dig up all of the team’s happenings.
The most obvious is the injury report. It has fluctuated throughout the week, but the most recent [...]

Well, Goodell has made his decision about the Patriots. This is the punishment:
Team Fined $250,000
Belichick Fined $500,000
1st Round Pick (if they make playoffs)
2nd and 3rd Round Pick (if they don’t make playoffs)
That essentially means we lost a first round pick. The penalty is too excessive, and not aimed at the right purpose. Taking away the [...]
All of the nonsense about the Patriots spying on the Jets has been going on for a few days now. Every site I go to (including my own), people are shouting crazy things about what could happen to the Patriots. So I just want to say a few words about it, and say what IS [...]
It looks like the Patriots cheated. From ESPN.com’s Chris Mortensen:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets‘ coaches, according to league sources.
NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New [...]
A few things happened today, nothing huge, but everything was worth noting. First, former Patriots receiver Reche Caldwell signed with the Washington Redskins today.
Also, the Patriots released linebacker David Herron. The funny thing is that the Patriots only signed Herron so that the Vikings couldn’t sign him to their practice squad. Belichick asked Brad Childress not [...]
Chris Mortensen Reports:
NFL security confiscated a video camera and its tape from a New England Patriots employee on the team’s sideline during Sunday’s game against the Jets in a suspected spying incident, sources said.
The camera and its tape were placed in a sealed box and forwarded to the league office for investigation, the sources said.
“The [...]
Today was a truly dominating win for the Patriots. Everything they tried seemed to work to perfection. The aerial attack was absolutely amazing. Maroney was running the ball pretty consistently, and Sammy Morris provided a very nice change of pace, gaining 47 yards on nine carries. Randy Moss looked out standing, as he finished with [...]
