I know that BB is a god and can do no wrong. And I know that he can turn cow sh!t into roast beef, but as a GM he sucks. He entered today with about $16M in cap room, could probably make more room by restructuring a player here and there, yet he is allowing the jewel of the FA class to sign...

Since 2007 the Patriots have consistently played small in big games. Their offense has been cautious, TB12 has been ordinary. I thought that maybe they had gotten past that tendency this year, but when it counted they failed to live up to the moment, but they showed that they are close against...

We are at the half way point of the season, the Pats are 5 and 3 and in the middle of the hardest part of their schedule. So I ask, Do the Pats make the playoffs?

Sports is all about nicknames, so let's try to find a name that represents the Patriot's defense. There are many that might come to mind: 1) Carpet Bomb defense 2) Air Raid Defense 3) Duck and cover defense 4) Bill's Bungles 5) Trend setting defense - Taking the new defensive rules to...

First, let me state up front, four interceptions lost the game yesterday, the officials played a bit part in that disaster. It has become impossible to play defense in the NFL today. The "competition committee" has decided to take the competition out of the NFL and has turned a somewhat...

It all starts with the Draft, unless it doesn’t. A look at the Patriots in 2011 looks an awful lot like it did after the 2010 draft. Bill Belichick once again focused on everything other than the most glaring weakness on his team, Outside Linebacker. I can hear the groaning now, I can hear the...

I sent my letter into the Superbowl Lottery and I haven't heard anything about whether I have been picked or eliminated. I usually get the postcard telling me that my name wasn't picked to purchase tickets long before Thanksgiving. Has anybody who entered the lottery gotten notified of their status?

I am not a huge Roger Goodell fan, and I am less of a fan of the player's union, but what the hell is the player's union doing allowing their members to be fined $75,000? As far as I would be concerned that is grounds for a malpractice suit. Does anybody really think that Myron Pryor's hit...

I am not trying to be negative here, but we do have the lowest ranked third down defense in the league and yesterday didn't help. For three years we have had the same hole in our defense and to date nobody has done anything to clost it. What the hell is going on with the wide open reciever...

As long as I am b!tching about yesterday, let's take a look at BB and his miniature coaching staff. He does not have an offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator and has stretched himself thin to cover the lack of coaching talent on his staff. The QB coach is the defaco offensive...

As I watched the game yesterday I was amazed at hoe Randy Moss once again came up small. His inability to catch what his hands touch is getting predictable and because he tends to pout Brady has to throw to him. He will not catch the ball across the middle and he is a coin flip to catch anything...

I find myself getting more and more concerned with the direction that the Pats are taking in FA this year. The more I look at the division the more concerned I get. My problem isn't that I believe that the Pats will not be a good team, I am concerned that both Miami and the Jets are going to be...

After watching the Indy Baltimore game I was struck by how far the Ptriots have to go to compete on offense. I hate the Colts, but watching them last night I could see how much more advanced their offense was conpared to ours. 1) Offensive line - That is a very good line that blocks evry...

I am not a Dean Pees guy, his passive defense drives me nuts. Yeah, maybe they don't have a dominant pass rusher, but is that the fault of the players or the defense? If we look at AD and Burgess, are we seeing guys who can't perform or guys who aren't being put in a position to perform? My...

Is anybody else concerned about the defensive coordinator? I suppose the offensive coordinator can be excused but Dean Peese hasn't impressed me. His defense is too passive and it seems to come up small in important situations. Yesterday we should have applied much more pressure than we did...

From NFP The National Football Post | The Draw Of Playing In New England The Draw Of Playing In New England What is the attraction with Foxborough, Mass.? And why does it seem that every offseason, high-profile free agents are drawn to play for Bill Belichick and the Patriots? Today, we...

This is from the Pioneer Press, it is the only mention in a column of notes related to Minn sports. There isn't a whole lot of support for Matt Cassel with the Minn fanbase.

I got to thinking that I might have been unfair in my assessment of the secondary's preformance this past season so I decided to take a look at their overall statistical preformance. What jumped out at me, and I have bolded below, is how really poorly the secondary really did play. It was worse...

After watching the game last night I was disappointed, but really encouraged by the way the team played. 1) Matt Cassel - He played as well as we could possibly expect. His final numbers, 25 of 34, 204 yards is an example of just how far he has come in a very short time. When he wasn't cut I...
