Last year the Patriots were dismal on third down, last week, despite giving up a lot of yards through the air, the Patriots held the Dolphins to 2-14 on third downs. While it is only one game, the difference between 47% and 14% is startling. This must con

Vick's returning to Atlanta should be interesting from both points of view and not overlooked. The Falcons laid an egg last week and should be primed for a much better game. Look for them to run the ball and use the middle of the field with Tony Gonzalez

Brady also has his safety blanket in Wes Welker out of the slot and huge TE Rob Gronkowski who will be a matchup nightmare. Gronk is impossible to cover with a linebacker, so if they move one of the safeties (George Wilson or Jarius Byrd) over to Gronk, i

The Bills provide a good matchup but Brady will pick apart the Buffalo secondary and the pressure to score on them will lead Fitzpatrick to turn the ball over.

For a detailed matchup look, click here: Tom Brady will have to bounce back from a game where he threw 4 INTs, the same amount he threw all of last season. The Patriots defense is getting gashed badly through the air, and has the NFL’s leading rusher in D

I see the Jets either sliding Darelle Revis over to the slot and going one on one with him, trying to jam Welker at the line of scrimmage disrupting the timing of his routes, or covering him underneath with Kyle Wilson and doubling him over the top with a

The Patriots have scored 30 points or more for 13 straight regular season games. The last time they didn’t, was against Cleveland whose Defensive Coordinator was Rob Ryan, who coincidentally now holds the same position with Dallas.

I believe the Patriots will attempt to do what they’ve done in their past two wins, take away the big TE Witten, by doubling him over the top and attempt to force Romo into mistakes on the outside. Witten has averaged nearly 100 yards per game every week

Tom Brady has enjoyed unparalleled success against the Steelers pass defense. Last season in Pittsburgh Brady spread out the defense and roasted them with quick passes that took advantage of the aggressiveness of S Troy Polamalu. The Patriots rolled up 39

Teams are figuring out that they must take away Wes Welker down low and that the Patriots WRs can’t beat the physical jam at the line of scrimmage and have no one who can stretch the field. That’s why Offensive Coordinator Bill O’Brien said this week that

The Chargers Philip Rivers is taking a lot of heat, even from ex-teammates (LTII) but to me their problems all arise from poor coaching. This is possibly the worst team in the NFL at situational football.

With the lack of a speed WR on the outside that can get open and Tom Brady can find, it is rendering the Pats offense stale. Bill O’Brien has been slow to adjust, when they Patriots finally spread the Giants out late in the game last week, they scored 17

The Jets, specifically Rex Ryan have been superb at frustrating Tom Brady since he took over in NJ. Until Brady starts finding Chad Ochocinco (and yes, it’s as much on Brady as Ocho) or Taylor Price on the occasional deep ball to stretch the field, expect

Much of the credit on defense goes to Andre Carter at defensive end who set a new Patriots record with 4.5 sacks of Mark Sanchez as the dormant Patriots pass rush was a huge factor

Amazing how everyone was ready to throw dirt on this Patriots team for the season but yet after a huge team victory on Sunday, all of the Boston media felt it necessary to caveat their stories or broadcasts with the “Patriots win, yeah but…

This week the Patriots should be able to assert their will on offense. The Chiefs have struggled to stop the run, so with the Patriots being able to run effectively with Green-Ellis and Woodhead, it will open play action with Brady being able to find play

Kansas City with their injuries at safety and nickelback, will have a rough time dealing with Wes Welker in the slot and Rob Gronkowski at TE. Nobody has been able to cover him thus far and with the array of receivers the Patriots can throw at KC, this sh

Matt Moore is a nice story and Reggie Bush has done a nice job the past few weeks but now Rob Ryan may have something to say about that. Moore won’t have much time to throw with Demarcus Ware in his grill

The Patriots offense, inconsistent the past month, needs to get started early and put pressure on the Eagles. With Asomugha getting injured and possibly out, Tom Brady needs to get the Patriots WRs involved in the game and early. This will open things up
