Bill Belichick is a great coach and there is no other coach in the NFL I'd rather have. I can't stress that enough. One of his greatest strengths is trying to compile a complete roster. He takes special teams more serious than most coaches and over the years the Pats special teams have been...

Maybe it is me and I have a selective memory but I can't remember the last time someone on the Pats not named Gronk made a contested catch. I'm not saying they don't make tough catches because they do. Edelmen's catch against the Broncos when he got drilled was a tough catch but not an example...

How to a) fight for the football or b) draw a pass interference call. Yesterday there were two more examples of what has been a season long trend. When Martin gets call for pushing off, drawing the offense PI all he needed to do is stop, jump and fight for the football. He might not get the PI...

A lot of people are taking some swings a WW by saying good riddance, he's replaceable and (my personal favorite) Brady made him what he is! Why does Brady get all the credit? How about WW is simply a really good freaking football player and he and Brady elevated EACH others' games? Brady is a...

What is the one thing that makes playing defense easier? Pressuring the other teams QB. This is one thing the Pats have be completely unable to do. 2007 Super Bowl. New York Giants 17 vs. New England Patriots 14 Giants get 5 sacks on Brady (-40 yards) while the Pats only get 3 on Manning...

We all know Borges loves to rip BB and the Pats but sometimes his observation reach new levels of stupidity. In this weeks report card (vs Steelers) he gave the Special Teams a C- grade with the following comment: "Zoltan Mesko’s net punting was only 31.8 yards per attempt. Not what we’re...

Draft Grades: Eagles score a knockout - NFL - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com After this week-end 'experts' like Pete Prisco will tell us who won and who lost on draft week-end. Prisco is already ripping Denver for trading a talent like Cutler (who is 24-29 as a starter) and drafting a no...

Unless the Pats LOVE someone when they come up to this pick I can see them trading it for (ideally) a 1st rounder next year and a 3rd or 4th this year. Let's face it BB LOVES to get picks in the future draft. I know they already have the Raiders #1 next year but I still think this is possible...

I, like most of us here love football so much I can watch anything that is connected to it. Watching the combine is great fun. Who runs, jumps and reacts the fastest. Which player you never really heard of pulls a Chris Johnson and makes himself a ton of money by running a god-like 40 time. The...

Mock Draft 2.0: Tebow a Saint? - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN While I am the first to admit the Pats have a lot of holes to fill on O and D this mock makes no sense to me as it ignores the D completely. First Round 22. New England Patriots—Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland - 6'7- 310 Second...

Possible draft picks for Arizona Cardinals at No. 26 This was written for the Arizona Cardinals but it's focus is on OLB/DE and as the Pats could be interested in pass rushers like this I think it is an interesting read from a NE fan point of view. Liked to comments on the players.

Unlike Patriots, rival Colts willing to pay the price - BostonHerald.com Unlike Patriots, rival Colts willing to pay the price according to Borges. Colts are awesome. They do it right. Pats suck. You get the picture. Funny how on the same day this story comes out this story also comes out...

List Ranker - Rank 'Em: Patriots offseason to do list - ESPN Thought this was interesting. 1.Contract for Vince Wilfork 2.Improving the pass rush 3.Revamping offensive line 4.Tougher players on defense 5.Adding fresh legs at RB

There has been a ton of talk about the lack of pass rush from the Pats D. The Pats ranked 24th in the league (see below) with 31 sacks. This is bad but 'good' defensive teams like SD, NYJ and Bal didn't do much better. This made me think that it wasn't that bad. Then I thought about the second...

If the Pats had to go into next year with the same roster that they have now but they got to add any ONE NFL player to the team who would you want? Maybe a young 'shut-down' CB like Darrelle Revis? Patrick Willis. The best young (hell maybe the best period) ILB in the game. A pass...

This season was not the season we have come to expect out of Brady. He threw some really bad INTs and his TDs were down. Because of this a lot of people are really down on him. Personally I think this season proves Brady is a fantastic QB. Think about the Pats team this year. Beside Brady name a...

Think we all know that the Pats have been a FAR better team at home but I was shocked to see how much better Brady was at home. Home Road QB Rating 109.2 81.7 Comp% 70.4% 60.4% Yrd/Game 299.3 250.5 TDs 17 11...

With the new hiring of Mike Shanahan in DC that now makes 7 HC the teams has had since 2000. The Pats have had one (BB) while the Redskins have had seven (Norv Turner 1999-2000, Terry Robiskie 2000, Marty Schottenheimer 2001, Steve Spurrier 2002-03, Joe Gibbs 2004-07, Jim Zorn 2008-09, Mike...

Just an FYI Next year the Pats get the NFC and AFC North plus the 1st place teams from the AFC West and South. That means the Pats will play: Jets (9-7) Jets (9-7) Dolphins (7-9) Dolphins (7-9) Bills (6-10) Bills (6-10) Bengals (10-6) Ravens (9-7) Steelers (9-7) Browns...

Was thinking about how important the draft is and my mind shifted to players that were not drafted but are major contributors to their teams. On the Pats alone I can name Welker, Neal, Guyton, Wright, Bodden and McGowan just off the top of my head. While all of these guys are not on Welkers...
