Patriots 41, Broncos 7 - The Verdict

Here’s the answers to some of the questions heading into the Monday Night Massacre at Gillette:

How does the team respond from last Sunday night’s beat down? Quite simply, with a beat down of their own. The Patriots came with in with intensity, took care of the ball and most of all were OPPORTUNISTIC. The final [...]

Patriots Offense in Transition

Here’s this week’s Patriots Two-Point Conversion column:
The loss of Tom Brady to this offense in the first drive of the first week of the season puts the Patriots in some rare company. Only once before has a team lost a reigning NFL MVP for the entire season, that was back in 1991 when Joe Montana [...]

Patriots 17, Chiefs 10 - The Verdict

The Patriots survived week 1 (which is more than we can say for a certain team from San Diego) despite losing the golden boy. I was at the game and it’s an understatement to say that the energy completely left the house for the balance of three quarters. There are rumors that it’s an ACL [...]

Morris Placed on Injured Reserve

Backup running back Sammy Morris has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
Morris, 30, injured his chest against the Cowboys and hasn’t seen the field since. The true extent of his injury hasn’t been released but Morris hasn’t sniffed the practice field in weeks.
My Take: This is a pretty big loss for the Pats. [...]

Another week, another three touchdown win for the Patriots. With Monday night’s 34-13 drubbing of the Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots became the first team in NFL history to win their first four games of the season by at least 20 points. Though the [...]

Vrabel now has nine career catches - all of which have been touchdowns. Two have come in the playoffs.
Brady now [...]
