You have to like Cassel as the Pats go 76 yards for a Stephen gostkowski field goal. Cassel looked sharp, not trying to do too much, hitting 4 of 5 for 61 yards. Couple quick points here: The Pats went semi-hurry up and went on quick counts. That was obviously a Belichick ploy to combat [...]
If you’re a momentum guy, the Jets moving down the field, stalling and missing a field goal has to bode well for the New Englanders, who got shoved around some. Jay Feely’s 31-yarder never had a chance. Here comes Matt Cassel. Interesting point here, Belichick has all five backs active for this one.
Game time, huh! Pats defer and kick off here. Favre looks sharp, the Jets look very good in the trenches. Eric Mangini sent the early note to Richard Seymour that the New Yorkers will run at him. So far, he’s failed.

Everywhere you go, this is a big game, the Patriots at the Jets. In the metropolitan New York area, this is just short of the Super Bowl. I’ve been down here about a dozen times over the years for Patriots-Jets games and this might the most hyped I’ve been to. The Jets radio (1050 AM) [...]
Here are my picks for weekend: Today’s games New England 24, N.Y. JETS 13 … Pats really have a defense CINCINNATI 23, Tennessee 21 … Too much turmoil in Nashville New Orleans 31, WASHINGTON 20 … Saints are good, Skins are not CAROLINA 27, Chicago 20 … Not a believer in Bears yet JACKSONVILLE 27, [...]
Jonathan Papelbon’s antics after the Red Sox officially won the division last September apparently has some precedence. Thanks to our friends at Comcast SportsNet.com here are some tapes of his previous dancing and acting exploits. FYI … Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz play a role in the prank. The following links will take you to [...]
I am going with 12. That might be a little on the high side, but I think the Patriots will find a way. Remember, they’ve done this replacements thing before and done it at inopportune times and won a few Super Bowls. Let me know how many wins you think the Patriots will have and [...]
I just got in from my favorite coffee shop — Perfecto’s in North Andover — and the mood was somber. Tom Brady’s absence has taken away something we’ve become spoiled with around here lately … certitude. Now there are question marks. Let’s look at five keys if the Patriots not only can survive Brady’s absence, [...]
The Pats defense bids for its third straight fourth-quarter hold. Key players here: Mike Vrabel … can he get to the QB when it matters most? Jerod Mayo … New England is doubling the deep outside, meaning Mayo might get some one on one with a back where Huard will attack if he’s patient.
A nice stop by the defense last series, highlighted by a Vrabel sack, and then Ellis Hobbs comes up with the play of the day, so far, picking off Damon Huard. What was Huard doing, trying to cram it into coverage? I don’t know. But the much-maligned Hobbs makes a spectacular play on the ball. [...]
