The New England Patriots will be making some key decisions very soon. Some will be related to talent, other money. I have separated them by category/talent. I will break them down throughout the next few days, talking about each grouping. Here ‘s the list: Big money, unrestricted free agents Randy Moss, WR Asante Samuel, S [...]
I will blog on Monday. Send in your thoughts and comments. I will answer them all later. Thanks
Painful, wasn’t it? Here are 10 reasons why the Patriots lost, in my opinion: 1. The Giants pass rush. Of all the things that happened, this played the biggest role in dictating the game. Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck were all over Tom Brady. It really wasn’t fair at times. The Patriots offensive [...]
This from the Patriots media staff: IF THE PATRIOTS WIN TODAY, THEY WOULD… · Become the second team in the NFL’s 88-year history to achieve an undefeated and untied record throughout the regular season and playoffs, joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins (17-0). · Set the all-time NFL record for most overall victories in a season [...]
Final thoughts as the third quarter kickoff approaches: What are you thinking in the locker-room right now if you’re a player on either team? If I’m a Giant, I say we played a perfect defensive half and we’re two costly turnovers from the lead. But I’m also questioning things. How long can we stop the [...]
If you’re a Giants fan … perfect. The Giants game plan is evident, just run the clock, run the football and try to keep it close. For my money, that’s a loser’s mentality, as the last group of Pats’ opponents has seen. They’re trying to lose with dignity. To beat a goliath like New England, [...]
Opening quarter thoughts: The Randall Gay arm injury, suffered on the opening Giants drive had to cause a lump in Bill Belichick’s throat. The Pats have endured some brutal secondary injury problems in Super Bowls. The coach has to be praying it doesn’t happen again. Laurence Maroney looks fresh and ready to run. Randy Moss [...]

How’s this for a stat? The Patriots have lost the toss in every playoff game. In fact, they lost it in their regular season finale against the Giants.
Troy Brown was among seven Patriots on the inactive list. The 15-year receiver, who has probably played his final game (vs. Jacksonville in AFC Divisional), is expected to hang up his cleats. The fact that he’s inactive is no surprise. He played in only one game against the Dolphins, the Patriots 15th win of the [...]

Here are 5 quick reasons: 1. The weather has not been what we expected all week. It has been aroun 50 degrees for most of the week, colder in the mornings and nights. And today, it’s raining. 2. A bottle of imported beer here University of Phoenix Stadium costs $15. That’s not a misprint. 3. [...]
