OK, New England answers the Miami TD with a 37-yard field goal from Steve Gostkowski. Now comes the big drive for the defense. A 3-and-out followed by a pats score puts the game back into proper perspective for the Pats. Time for the defense, which has allowed Miami 82 yards on 11 plays to step [...]
Sorry about the computer delays folks, but we are again up and running here at Foxboro, where the Pats find themselves in a 7-0 hole. Some quick observations:
Something has to give with the Dolphins playing up tight, daring Matt Cassel, who has already thrown one pick, to throw the football.
New England looks a step slow [...]
Here’s an interesting twist to the injury report this week.
On Friday, Laurence Maroney was listed as questionable and recently acquired LaMont Jordan was listed as doubtful.
Who do you think is playing today and who will be dressed in civvies?
You guessed it: Maroney is inactive and Jordan is playing.
Was it “doctoring” of the injury list? Who [...]
If you’re wondering about the stress level in Terry Francona’s face, this is another issue he is going to have to deal with head on.
Does he go with a proven commodity, Paul Bryd, as the No. 4 starter or does he go with Old Faithful, Tim Wakefield, who is beginning to look like a 40-year-old [...]
Imagine that comment: The Tampa Bay Rays are too good.
Well, finally, as get closer to late September, that is the case. The Rays never wilted.
You can pray and hope all you want. They are not going down.
I was terribly impressed with these guys when they came to Boston a week ago. That was when they [...]
for the second straight week, a coach comes out with an awful performance. Can anyone explain the Jets huddling up inside of five minutes, down two scores.
Mangini had his chance, but he was seriously outclassed by his ex-mentor.
A masterful performance from the coach on down.
Just an ugly effort by the NYJ, but the Pats are [...]
pats go in and take control.
The difference today boys and girls is quite simple.
Mistakes.
Penalties, Cotchery gets hit for an offensive pass interference to put NY in a huge hole, and Favre throws a pick.
Meanwhile, New England has no turnovers and has been hit with one 5-yard penalty. That’s it.
The pats have outpunted the New Yorkers, [...]
Offense
Line C- … Cassel’s getting hit and New England has 24 yards on 13 rushes.
Backs C … If it wasn’t for Kevin Faulk, this group gets a D
Receivers C … Randy Moss equals highly-paid decoy so far.
QB B- … He’s yet to turn it over, although he’s cooled after a quick start. Missed a couple [...]
Laurence Maroney’s out, questionable with a shoulder injury.
Bryan Thomas rang Cassel’s bell on the first play of the series, with 2:12 to play and the kid is a little groggy.
The two-minute warning couldn’t come fast enough.
