Introducing the New England Patriots' most dynamic offense yet

.....well it WAS a beautiful day, and you can't expect me to come up with a pithy title every game. ;) Playing a desperate team often is the most difficult win you can get. Just ask the Steelers (and who saw THAT one coming). I have to say Cinci came into this game and played a BRILLIANT...

What should our game plan be to contain Dunlap? Double team? Going to be quite the challenge for our O line. Solder needs to step up. Did anyone expect Dunlap to have this good of a career? He is a stud. After his 14 sack season last year, he has continued to establish himself as one of the best...

Chris Harris: Patriots-esque game plan beat Broncos This is interesting in many ways. Atlanta used its two speedy RB's to outrun Denver LB's in coverage. We should absolutely take advantage of this vs. Denver later this year. If we can get Lewis and White BOTH into a game plan like this, it...

A lot of coaches are loose lipped about injuries and think that withholding information from opponents is overrated. Last night's game was one example where you can be almost certain it made the difference between a W and an L. I'm not sure how long the Patriots have known Gronkowski would...

New England Patriots News 9-11, AFC East Notes Steve Balestrieri Without the big man (Gronk), in the lineup will the team use a lot of 2-TE sets or will they bring in the extra WR for the offense' Continue reading...

This two-part series from late last year is a must-read on how the Cards game-plan. Note how much they like the "bomb." Of course game-planning for them for Sunday will be harder given they have basically no film to work with. A Quarterback and His Game Plan, Part I: Five Days to Learn 171...
