Game, set, match, Patriots.

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

Randy Moss’ second TD turns the lights out on Denver, which is turning in an effort similar to New England’s performance a week ago at San Diego. Tough to figure Denver coming out stale, after the loss to J’ville, but take it and run.

It’s on a tee for Pats to hit out of the park.

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

The Pats are up 20-0, and should be up 35-0 the way the Broncos have played. Four turnovers are one thing, but Denver’s done a spectacular job helping out overall the New England cause. Kudos to the men in stripes, ignoring a potential Pierre Woods roughing the passer call on Brandon Meriweather’s interception and an [...]

Super drive, most of the work on the ground by Morris, a 13-0 lead.

Denver has clearly not come to play, and it’s great to see the Pats attacking them like they should. It’s a heck of a formula at home, pound Sammy Morris (11 carries, 106 yards already) and defend.

Another squander … still 6-0 pats

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

Back to back missed blitz pickups, first by Sammy Morris and then by Kevin Faulk, stop the pats, who were in position to go up two scores. Ben Watson was basically uncovered off the line on the 3rd-down play, and Cassel simply never saw him. The punt has Denver backed up, which is good news, [...]

End of 1, Pats up 6-0…

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

Two Denver fumbles equals a 6-0 lead for the hosts. New England might have to employ the Tennessee approach, run and defend, then run and defend some more, because even against the porous Broncos, who surrender 300 passing yards a game, Matt Cassel struggles. Sammy Morris looks super. Mike Vrabel has come to play.

It’s true, folks. Ben Watson still plays on this team.

Matt Cassel’s first throw is a 29-yard hookup to the enigmatic one, ben Watson. The Pats look sharp and inspired, two key ingredients that have been missing here.

Cutler hurt on the opening play …

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

The blitz on first down pays off, Cutler smacked by Seymou and Bruschi, injures his throwing hand and doesn’t look good on his second attempt. He shook off replacement Patrick Ramsey.

Pats inactives, some pre-game thoughts …

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots, Uncategorized on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

Of course, the elimination of Laurence Maroney seriously dents the running game. The rest of the inactives: Rookie corner Terrence Wheatley, RB Lamont Jordan, LB Eric Alexander, OT Nick Kaczur, DL Jarvis Green and Lb Shawn Crable. I have to figure, the way Bill Belichick downplayed his team’s inept pass rush, that he plans on [...]

Ouch, Maroney is inactive … FOR THE SEASON

Posted in Hector Longo, Patriots on Oct 20th, 2008 View Comments

The Patriots pre-game moves here at Foxboro had one jaw-dropper, with the placing of Laurence Mroney on injured reserve. The 2006 first-round pick is done for the year. In other important news, Steve Neal has been activated, at a time when the offensive line definitely needs the help. More here by Hector longo at Foxboro [...]
