Tom Brady Full Interview With Jim Gray - "Anytime Someone Leaves The Game, it's Serious." Ian Logue Here's a look at what Tom Brady had to say during his weekly interview on Westwood One Monday night. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If not, hit the Thumbs...

Shocking news! Nobody predicted the exact final score in week one's Patriots game. In fact only two of 166 players predicted a Pats loss; unfortunately their reverse psychology didn't work. Congratulations to this week's Predict the Score winner NewFeep! Actual: Chiefs...

I'm posting these four plays for discussion purposes. I'll offer my thoughts on each but I really don't know where each of these plays broke down. I do think communication was the main factor in the first three but think someone was out of position on the last one. Not sure who. Anyways...

Let's get a nice healthy dose of reality and sanity around here, shall we? 1. It's week 1...crazy things happen every year in week 1 and people overreact every year in week 1. - Are the Rams really a top contender because they smoked Indy by 35+? - Are the Falcons all of a sudden overrated...

New England Patriots News 9-10, AFC East Notes Steve Balestrieri "So, I’m really concerned about the 2017 team, what this team is, what this team needs to do. I’m not trying to live in the past like everybody else is." Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If...

Patriot Celebration Ended With Pregame In Loss to Chiefs Bob George Time once again to ask the coach if the quarterback position will be evaluated this week. Purely to keep the previous trend going, of course. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If not, hit...

It took a while to process this game. It was as ugly a game as I can remember and the ending was almost the exact opposite of their last game. From a remarkable comeback to an utter collapse. I'm sure its been hard for everyone to process. But let's take a stab at it and try to put it...

Thursday Night Definitely Well Below Brady's Standards Ian Logue Given how high Tom Brady's standards are, this will likely be one of those games that haunts him for quite a while. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If not, hit the Thumbs down in this thread)

The Falcons and Chiefs had their way attacking the defense like this the last 2 games. Isn't defending these kinds of runs exactly the same problem the 2002 Pats had? I remember Holmes, Tomlinson and Ricky Williams in particular shredded us doing the same thing. That was a talent issue...

Let's not hit the panic button just yet. Brady did not fall off the Max Kellerman cliff overnight. I was at the game last night & I seen some good things & a lot of things that need work. KC had a better game plan & we need to acknowledge that & move on. KC's DB's got called on a few holding...

First, I want to state that I did not have a problem with the refs last night. I think they did a good job. But the Chiefs employed the old, "They can't call everything" strategy, and it worked. It doesn't work for the Raiders a lot. It works sometimes in basketball. But when the refs become...

Here we go: First and foremost, everyone needs to calm down. The first week of the season has a lot of aberration games. Remember how the Pats got smoked by Buffalo in 2003 and went onto a 14-2 season and a Super Bowl while Buffalo went 4-12. That said, the lack of fight in this team is very...

Is the guy still recovering and not the same player? I thought he would be getting more snaps...guy was electric before the injury.

Patriots Curbstomped by the Chiefs 42-27 in NFL Opener Steve Balestrieri Kareem Hunt had a fantastic night, rushing 17 times for 148 yards and catching five passes out of the backfield for 98 more and a pair of scores Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs Up/If...

Patriots Suffer Two Key Injuries During Loss to Chiefs Ian Logue With Julian Edelman out of the line-up Thursday night, Tom Brady needed someone else to help get his team going, and he got what he hoped for until an injury took him away. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit...

I thought tonight he played one of the worst games of his career. Got bullrushed, provided zero pressure, didn't clog space, didn't make any plays. He was so inneffective the chiefs had just 1 lineman on him all night and brown still couldn't beat his man. It allowed the chiefs to double up...

I thought in the first QT we should have gone for the FG, missed points there. Losing Hightower in the game hurt our run D, people could not make tackles and the defense looked lost without him in the game, just couldn't get the guys lined up properly. Our interior DT position seems weak. I...

We started hot, had the lead earlier in the game, but something always seemed off about it. Had successful deep plays at times, but could not maintain efficiency and ended up being wildly inconsistent. And by the end, the defense couldn't stop anything. You could pretty much write the same game...
