All of New England has to be scratching its head right now, wondering how Stephen Gostkowski’s field goal try did not go through from 26 yards out.

Fourth and 5, great run, amazing run, by matt Cassel. as a friend said, I want a Matt Cassel Fathead, right now.
The kid’s got spunk.
Dear Fathead company, five words for you: Matt Cassel and Carlos Pena.
Thanks,

The Buffalo Bills have become, under Dick Jauron, the great American tease team.
Watch this team pushing around the Patriots, because it doesn’t matter.
They could throw a severe wrench into all the Patriots playoff plans. After a 3-0 first quarter, things do not look good.

Nick kaczur flinches at the wrong time, forcing a punt.
And matt slater, he of the muffed kickoff costing this team dearly against the steelers, doesn’t try to cover the muffed punt, he tries to toss it back, not realizing it was tipped.
Just two dumb plays, and half the first quarter is over. The pats lose [...]
We’re three minutes in, and I’ve had enough of Gumbel and Dierdorf telling me about the wind.

While it’s too early to know if the snow will be of the variety that fell on Gillette Stadium on Sunday, early reports are some snow showers and cold in Buffalo for this Sunday’s Patriots-Bills game.
Who does that favor?
Probably nobody.
But the Patriots have shown, especially on offense, that weather is a state of mind. They [...]
OK, maybe we are obsessing a tad about this game. But here is the early weather report for 4 p.m. in East Rutherford, N.J. next Sunday:
About 45 degrees and chance of showers.
If you ask me, the Dolphins will feel right at home. Those aren’t anything a warm weather team would be scared of.
