Help Heath, help yourself The Heath Evans Foundation is sponsoring a benefit raffle, but you’d better hurry if you’d like to help out. Evans foundation, which aids sexually abused children, is raffling off an incredible package. For $10 per chance, you and five friends can attend the upcoming, October 28, Boston Celtics opener at the [...]
Here are some thoughts while trying to grab my wits about me: 1. The Rays were better. Not by much, but their starting pitching was able to stabilize the Red Sox offense. Matt Garza basically said he wasn’t going to lose. And he didn’t. It was a good lesson for the “kids” to see, including [...]
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.

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 [...]

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.
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, [...]
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.

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.
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.

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 [...]
