Scouting the Colts' Offense

November 17, 2012 | John Morgan

Bill Belichick game plans to take away an opponent's primary strength, but that is going to be a major challenge this week. Reggie Wayne has a long history of coming through with big games against the Patriots and he leads the league with 931 yards receiv

Week 11 NFL Games

November 18, 2012 | John Morgan

Week 11 has some great football games lined up, starting off with the Packers at Lions early, late games between the Pats and Colts and San Diego at Denver, then two great night games: Baltimore at Pittsburgh tonight, and the Bears at the 49ers on Monday

Monday Night Football - Bears at 49ers

November 19, 2012 | John Morgan

The Bears folded last year when the inexperienced Caleb Hanie was called upon to play quarterback; this situation is exactly why they went out and acquired Campbell. The guy is a veteran with more than 70 NFL games; he's not flashy, but does an excellent

Dan Marino and Cris Carter embarrass themselves with criticism of Pats

November 20, 2012 | John Morgan

Did Cris Carter or anyone else say anything when it was announced Luck hit 300 yards passing on the Colts' final possession, or that when it was announced that on the same play Wayne had eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving - and suggest that instead of stats t

Jets - Patriots preview: Gang Green has too many ifs to expect a win

November 21, 2012 | John Morgan

With Rob Gronkowski out for several weeks, should the Pats have signed Plaxico Burress for use in the red zone? It shouldn't matter Thursday because even if the Jets play flawlessly the Patriots should still be able to emerge victorious.

Turnovers fueling Patriots 2012 season, but can the takeaways continue?

November 24, 2012 | John Morgan

The New England Patriots have became an unstoppable force, taking the ball away from opponents at record-setting pace. Can that be counted on to continue? Is that a viable strategy for playoff success?

Week 12 NFL Games

November 25, 2012 | John Morgan

The only thing that stinks about the Pats win over the Jets is that we don't get to see the Patriots play Sunday. I guess that means we can all root for the Browns, Chiefs and Chargers on Sunday - or to be more accurate, root against the Steelers, Broncos

Monday Night Football: Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles

November 26, 2012 | John Morgan

This game features two coaches that are not just on the hot seat, but two coaches whose fate has probably already been sealed, and won't be returning next season; there is a definite Dead Man Walking feeling to this game

Scouting the Miami Dolphins Offense

November 30, 2012 | John Morgan

Miami's offensive line had a stellar performance against Red Bryant and the Seattle defense last week. With Chandler Jones hobbled and Jermaine Cunningham suspended, this is going to be more of a challenge for the Pats defense than many New England fans s

Scouting the Miami Dolphins defense, and why the Pats should win

December 01, 2012 | John Morgan

For Miami to win on Sunday they need to not only stop the Patriots, but get some turnovers and maybe even score on defense. The problem is twofold: the Pats don't turn the ball over, leading the league with just eight turnovers; add to that the fact that

NFL Week 13 NFL Games

December 02, 2012 | John Morgan

Games of rooting interest for Pats fans will be for Arizona to beat the Jets and for Tennessee to knock off Houston early; in the late games it will be for the Ravens to lose to Pittsburgh (can I just hope for a meteor to hit the stadium?) and Tampa Bay t

Monday Night Football: Giants at Redskins

December 03, 2012 | John Morgan

Yeah, yeah, it is yet another NFC East game on television - but this one might be a fun game to watch. Also a few Pats post-game observations, including two from the Miami press.

Time for Patriots Nation to ease up on the overreactions to Brandon Lloyd

December 05, 2012 | John Morgan

Lloyd did indeed have only one reception in Miami, but that was just one game; he's on pace for 67 receptions, 748 yards, and 45 first downs. There is no need to even think about Braylon Edwards or some of the other suggestions

Thursday Night Football: Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders

December 06, 2012 | John Morgan

Maybe the Raiders, who have lost five in a row are due for a win - and Denver, who has won seven in a row since losing to the Pats, are overdue for a loss.

December 07, 2012 | John Morgan

While it may not be realistic to think the Pats can completely stop Arian Foster, they need to at least limit him in some form Monday night.

Offensive Key to the Game: neutralizing J.J. Watt

December 08, 2012 | John Morgan

While it is obvious the Patriots need to limit JJ Watt, the question really is how do the Pats accomplish that task? Perhaps the answer is the Pats' commitment to the running game
