5:38 and the Pats are hanging on for their lives …

Nov 8th, 2009 by Bill Burt

Can the offense grind up the necessary three more first downs after a nice Brady-to-Moss hookup?
A tattered Dolphins defense simply can’t stop this team when it matters, even with the lack of a Patriots running attack.

Halftime, far from a championship performance…

Nov 8th, 2009 by Bill Burt

When the Patriots sleepwalk their way to victory here over an undermanned and banged-up Dolphins team, you’ll hear all the cliches about division games being so tough and the challenge presented by Miami.
Don’t believe it.
Miami is not good and the Patriots, TODAY, are just a little better.
Halftime Grades
Offense
Line (C-) … The Miami line has taken [...]

Wildcat Strike!!!!

Nov 8th, 2009 by Bill Burt

No answers by the Pats’ defense for the Wildcat of for Pat White and Miami’s option game.
if they didn’t feel like they were in for a fight, the Patriots do now.
Ricky Willliams scores too easily. 10-10.

End of a listless first quarter, 7-3 Pats

Nov 8th, 2009 by Bill Burt

The place is dead, Miami, which at one point lost a pair of defenders on one play, is wounded and the crowd is mute.

Looks like we’re in for a fight

Nov 8th, 2009 by Bill Burt

5:26 in, and it looks like Miami is intent on pounding at the Pats insides with the running game.
No sign of the Wildcat yet, but the dolphins really didn’t need it, moving off Vontae Davis’ interception down the field for a 52-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead.

If Thanksgiving 2008 wasn’t enough proof for you …

Nov 7th, 2009 by Hector Longo

Friday night at Nicholson Stadium had to be.
I throw out this compliment with the deepest respect one can muster in these parts.
Somewhere right now, the late Larry Klimas is grinning, ear to ear.
His once-proud Methuen High football program is in incredibly competent hands.
Any dissenters to that statement, doubters of Pat Graham and his Methuen High [...]

Cooking by the book

Nov 6th, 2009 by Catherine Stollak

Anyone who does any amount of cooking likely has at least a few cookbooks. If you’re my mother, you might have a few hundred. There are some you keep only for one recipe and some that you use on a weekly basis. Many are divided by theme — appetizers and desserts, meat or vegan, Italian [...]
