I was very concerned with the coaching in that second to last drive. I said to everyone I watched the game with, we are wasting time that WE will need. There was too much time to be running clock. We got the ball with 9 minutes, and was trying to run clock instead of go for the kill...
I just realized that over the past 10 years, the New England Patriots have played in 60% of all AFC Conference Championships.
Win or lose this weekend, that stat alone is enough to showcase just how prolonged, and consistent this team has been over the Bill B, and Brady Era.
60% of all...
I said it then, I'll say it again.
Brady, the all time clutch of all time, enginered a last minute drive to take the lead, only to watch the defense give up 80 yards in little to no time to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Our Defense is pathetic... no rose colored glasses. Pure...
Brady is the leader, he's really the only one on this team right now. He can't be the emotional leader the whole season... that turns to bitterness ala Marino.
We need another Harrison, Bruschi type so when Brady is down... others lift up the team.
When the steelers talked trash in 03...
Our Father who Art in Foxborro, Football be thy game. Let Woodhead run, 3 superbowls won on earth as it is in Gillette. Give us This Day a playoff victory, and forgive our penalties As we defeat those Jets who play against us. But lead us into a victory and deliver us to Texas! For thine is the...
Ok, So I'm not a HUGE basketball fan, but I watched the playoffs, most of the games, and all of the finals.
How the hell does Rondo have a roster spot? I know he's fast and good at dishing the ball out.
But last night, not 1 Laker respected Rondo's ability to shoot the basketball, which...
Roman Phifer ( sp? ) - I watched super bowl 39 last night, it was a joy to watch that so love-able and solid team play, and it got me thinking, it was the old vets that still had a lot to give that I miss on the current teams, most notably Roman.
There were easily 4 other players I could...
After watching some Combine coverage and contemplating what BB will do in the draft, I keep coming back to Defensive Linemen. I know there is a need for WR, and RB.
But knowing a bit about how BB thinks, I believe it will be a DL.
I came to this conclusion by thinking about the longevity...
With 3 minutes to go, the Colts down by two scores, I was still nervous as heel thinking, this is going to be the most epic come back and launch Manning in to the Greatest ever.
Even down 14 points with almost no time, I couldn't help but think, oh man, he is still going to get this done...
My dad told me about a rumor he heard somewhere on another site about how there may be interest in the Patriots sending a 2nd round pick to the cardinals for Boldin.
Has anyone else heard this?
Eldelman, and Welker aren't leader types, and Faulk can't do it alone. No leadership on the D side, none on the Offensive side.
I want to see Moss cut, not for effort or attitude, I want 2 more firey scrapy types in his place. Get Brady back to spreading the ball.
I'm tired of seeing 35...
I for one am tired of going for it on fourth down. On the increasingly rare times it works, the extra points does not out weight the shift in momentum and possible wins that missing a 4th down does.
We LOST a game today as a direct result of not kicking a Field Goal.
Going up by 5 is a NO...
To all the "True" fans, am I allowed to feel this team has issues yet???
I'm asking permission before I being the week wondering what help this team needs, after last week, I was told by numerous posters that I was not a true fan for acting as though the Pats needed work in areas, and aren't...
2 horrible challenges left the Patriots with no challenges in case they really needed them. As well, the play calling in the Second half was horrendous.
Yes we won, but against a really bad JETS team, we saw just how vulnerable our Pats are. Even with 5 turnovers, our Offense only scored 23...
The Greatness of the Patriots, at least as the Team of the Decade. The Colts look to beat our regular season records, which honestly I thought it would stand for a LONG long time...
Spy gate, the Colts owning us, Blown Super Bowl, and as someone else mentioned in another thread, im...
I'm in Old England, not New England, and im trying to find a place to watch this game live. I always remember hearing of English fans commenting on the games and such, so I assume the games are on some channel here... but I can't find a pub that carries it.
I spent the last 3 hours in...
So I had my leagues draft last night. And I drafted 100% based on my own formula and need chart I created in Excel.
I want to pass my idea by everyone, and my results to see what you think. First off, I drafted 3rd, league is pretty standard, score is tweaked to give QBs a little more...

I don't find the injury funny...
Basically... right?
Any way you slice it we got hosed. Cassel is worth a 2nd round pick 100% by himself. Why add in a OLB/TE/Special Teamer/Team Leader ???
This was a bad bad deal... period.
I know he's had a bad few years in Seattle, but the guy could play, he was a great WR in our offense.
How many years left does he have in Seattle? Don't you think after his few years through injuries and non-competitive play that he would come back to the pats in a heart beat and smart...
