LaDainian Tomlinson gained 217 yards rushing. Tom Brady threw two stupid picks. Adam Vinatieri missed his first field goal of the season. Charlie Weis negated his brilliant call of the touchdown pass to Mike Vrabel with some real head-scratching doozie

The weather in San Diego was partly cloudy, warm and dry. That city is often hailed as having the best weather in the USA. Whatever advantage the Patriots have offensively over the Dolphins, the humid weather will negate that advantage. The homefield a

Congratulations are due the New England Patriot defense for doing such a terrific job on Ricky Williams. And that’s not being sarcastic. Williams was “held” to “only” 105 yards rushing on 36 carries.

She. The Monkees did a song by that name. Brady’s having “she” problems now, as Tara Reid has dumped the Patriot quarterback, presumably so she can find someone who parties harder (we sincerely hope that two measly losses wasn’t the relationship backbre

One now has to wonder how much worse can it get. More penalties. More turnovers. Another running back goes nuts. No intensity. No discipline. No execution. <p> And these guys are the defending world champs?

With lots of things going wrong go lots of things that have to be fixed. Diagnosing a problem is one thing, curing it is quite another. I can sure tell you if your leg is broken, but get someone else to fix it, bud.

The Patriots can look at this week’s foe and draw some inspiration in their quest to save their promising season gone awry.

The Patriots are no longer taking the league by surprise. Instead, the league is taking it to the Patriots, and exposing how slow this team is this year. This should become the top focus of the team in this offseason. Get younger, get quicker, and rebu

Look who’s laughing now. Over here, you have the destitute and clueless 3-4 Patriots, a team bereft of all its skill and material that made them champs last year. And over here, you have the resurgent 5-3 Bills, and the second leading passer in the leag

We offer this bit of advice to Bill Belichick. <p> Don’t concern yourself with beating Drew Bledsoe. Concern yourself with beating the Buffalo Bills. <p> That is the one and only thing that matters on Sunday. Let Bledsoe put up great numbers. Let B

Oh, yeah, that trade. Looks like Bill Belichick was dead on, huh? <p> One must wonder why the tearful reunions with Curtis Martin weren’t this happy and wonderful. When this one was over, Drew Bledsoe didn’t look at all like a Buffalo Bill. He looked

One of my favorite restaurants has this sign: “If the standards here do not measure up to yours…please lower your standards.” <p> The opposite holds true for the 2002 Patriots. <p>

You saw how badly the Patriots played, and you wonder how this all happened.

Being the champs they are, the Patriots were able to shake off that 27-6 deficit and rally to beat Duh Bears, 33-30. The Patriots rode the crest of a superhuman fourth quarter from Tom Brady, two replays that went their way, and an incredible catch by Da

What Woodson never brings up regarding the Snow Bowl is that all his team had to do was to stop the Patriots without getting a first down after the tuck play. Why not bag on Eric Allen for giving up that 19-yard pass to David Patten on the next play? Or

Bill Belichick brought in Bill Russell during training camp. Subject: how to repeat as champs. Next on deck: Larry Bird. Subject: how to stop playing like sissies.

The Raiders were the better team in November. But the Patriots were the better team in January.

After 10 games, the Patriots stand at a (censored) 5-5. Too often they have simply played like (censored) this year. That’s putting it into incredibly general terms. Let’s break it down some more and get the real dope on this (censored) team.

One of the worst things you can do as a football team playing an inferior opponent is to torque them off to the point that they believe that they can come back and win the game. By going for it on that fourth down, the easy cupcake win for the Patriots t

Aaah, memories. On Sunday, the Rams lost 20-17.<p>Aaah, memories. After Week 2, we called the Patriots the most dominant team in the NFL.

Face it, on paper, this is a slamdunk for the Patriots. But on the field, it is anything but. The biggest problem for the Patriots is that it is Thanksgiving Day.
November 28, 2002 | Bob George
Oh, heck, it’s Thanksgiving. Be thankful that the Patriots are still World Champs. Be thankful that they won. Be thankful that they have ten days off after a road Turkey Day win.

You’re not quite sure what to make of this season, are you? You’ve had so much dumped in your lap. A team that looks invincible. A team that can’t stop the run. A team that has reverted to the Pete Carroll days. A team that can’t beat good teams. A

Whoever said that Sunday is more about Tom Brady versus the Bills defense than Bledsoe versus Belichick cannot be more right on.
