New England Patriots News 10-8, AFC East Notes Steve Balestrieri Winston said about #12 "That's a blessing, man, to meet someone like that. I dream to be able to be the type of quarterback he is for his team to our team." Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs...

A win is a win and at this point, I'll take it!!! Better play by our defense, room for improvement, but glad to be 3-2 Let's discuss!!!

FRONT SEVEN I think that Hightower might better utilized as a LB with Van Noy. Harris, Roberts or Flowers can still be the 3rd LB, if needed. We have this "luxury" because the new guys on the DL are doing fin: Wise, Guy, Butler and Marsh. We don't need the 5th addition to the DL as much as we...

I would suggest that Patricia and Belichick allow the defense to play more aggressively and blitz more against mobile QBs. The defense, without a doubt, looked at their best against New Orleans. While Alex Smith isn't Mike Vick, he's mobile and Belichick has played him as he plays other mobile...

Win or not, there are serious problems. 2-2 with TB, Atl, Oak in the next few weeks. First off, losing to KC and Car at home? Unacceptable. No excuses. You gotta beat those teams. Now TB, Oak, Atl in next few weeks? There are serious concerns. What does BB do? OT, but the offense took way too...

Important game tonight against one of the Best D's in the league. For us I feel the ability to run the ball and use our screens are going to be vital for us to win the game. That will then open up the space that Gronk, Danny, and Cooks can exploit with the Play action game.. Thoughts?

Early Down Improvement Key In New England's Win Ian Logue One of the things the Patriots likely spent some time looking at leading up to their game against the Saints on Sunday likely centered around their early down issues they suffered against Kansas City, which put them in some tough...

There are still a LOT of questions that are to be talked about, but clearly this was a much better effort (most importantly) and a LOT better execution, which resulted in a rather easy road win. I'm not sure if this post will match my usual length because most of what I saw was fairly obvious...

Hopefully more Wise & Butler as well as no Jordan Richards.

Let's start this one with Gronk. Many words were used in last 10 days arguing about Gronk being or not being Gronk anymore. The film showed big reason for “Gronk not looking as Gronk“ was Eric Berry (and possibly refereeing allowing lots of contact beyond 5 yards..) Here 2 articles from Reiss...

The Saints have a ton of speed at the WR position. Thomas was a slot receiver who kind of like Edelman can play the x, y and z (but is probably the most dangerous in the slot). Lewis and Ginn Jr are burners. It will be interesting to see if we have Butler following Thomas around or if Butler...

Discusses mostly players during his Giants coaching days. FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | FO Interview: Bill Belichick

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...

The loss of Edelman seems to have changed complexion of the Patriots offense. No matter how you spin it, a traditionally horizontal offense going heavy vertical is an adjustment that takes time. There were so many more vertical throws from Brady than I'm accustomed to seeing. The stats...

Five Takeaways From "Do Your Job 2" Ian Logue For fans in New England, Sunday night was simply a rare treat as NFL Films allowed them opportunity to get a look behind the curtain at the greatest comeback in Super Bowl History. Continue reading... (If you enjoyed this entry - hit the Thumbs...

Obviously Dallas has been the center of football this year as they are comprised of the two most exciting rookies of the league, Dak Prescott and Zeke. What helps is how well they're performing. Zeke is... Well, he's Zeke. Teams seem to have a harder time stopping him in the pros than when he...

Is there a reason why Bill is benching Ryan?

Hey all, another thrilling win for the Pats today. I decided to post to see if anyone else finds that the Pats resort to the prevent far too early. I've been watching football my whole life and I can't recall any other teams going into prevent mode with six minutes left in the 3rd quarter. I get...

In 2015 New England finished 2nd in the nfl in sacks. Why the big drop off? Is this an issue going forward?
