Unfounded speculation to follow below Belichick is noted for his disciplinary approach, he who is most-prepared plays, etc. But he also coached Lawrence Taylor, and recognized that his on-the-field talent and smarts outweighed his off-the-field habits. There is a famous story floating around...

Errrr....onside While obviously a little bummed about the final score, I did kind of enjoy how unwilling the commentators (and Scott Van Pelt) were to call the game's outcome. It was almost like you see them thinking "well, a 17 point lead with 5 minutes to go should wrap it up, but we've seen...

I was re-watching the big Devonta Freeman catch in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. The defense had been playing well and the Pats momentum was high following the 2-point conversion to narrow the gap to a one-score game. The Falcons were pinned deep, and suddenly the defense gives up a...

Tough break for Bradford, but this is a golden opportunity for NE, STL, and Mallett (edit: had written Bradford here by accident). I honestly cannot conceive of a better situation for all three involved (except for losing your starter in the first place). I don't recall much trading history...

Interesting read, and can savor some of the hand wringing from Tannenbaum and Co.: Men's Journal Magazine - Men's Style, Travel, Fitness and Gear

Enjoying the win, but one thing I really didn't understand on Sunday... Dolphins kick the ball off with ~40ish seconds left on the clock. Kick is fairly deep in the end zone, but catchable. Slater motions for Blount to kneel on the catch. The offense takes the field, and kneels to run out the...

Something smells fishy to me: 1) Rumors swirling about Lloyd being a bad locker room player and on his way out. Should give Welker some leverage in negotiations as the only reliable holdover at WR? 2) Welker bolts after a sub-par offer from the Pats. Any leverage due to Lloyd didn't help...

1) Zoltan Mesko -- he was booming them Sunday, with a 60yd average at halftime. I think that's one of his best punting performances all year, and it made a huge difference in this game. 2) Matt Slater -- I know STs weren't too impressive against Danieal Manning, but I think Slater played a...

A constant theme as I've been watching replays during Pats games this season, I keep asking myself "what on earth are the safeties expected to be doing?". There have been some good post-game breakdowns on these forums showing in some plays poor decisions by the safeties, along with a...

I would be really shocked if the Pats let an opportunity to sign London Fletcher get away from them. From the Rams in 2000-2001, and then the Bills through 2006-2007, Belichick has been gameplanning against this guy for nearly half his head coaching career. Fletcher's personal successes...

Wondering if big Vince will be due some bonuses because of his interceptions. I can see some Patriots exec thinking that INTs would be a good place to stash some "incentives"! Not looking too smart now, ha ha

Say what you will about the guy, but he was a warrior tonight. It took Brady matching him punch for punch, and he took some big time shots in the pocket. First time I can recall seeing him lead his team like that Brandon Marshall almost seemed to have his head on straight too, which is a...

Take it for what it's worth...Chadiha clearly is not Moss' biggest fan: Randy Moss has worn out his welcome in NFL and won't be missed - ESPN I don't know that I buy the Brady vs. Belichick part of the story -- sounds like one of Chris Carter's "anecdotes"! :rolleyes:

I thought the penalties really reflected a lack of preparedness of the team -- I'm not counting any PI calls as they are what they are: Brown's illegal touching on the punt Mankins unnecessary roughness Branch and Light's false starts ...and frankly Wilfork was lucky he didn't get nailed for...

Just a compilation thread for all of my favorite Favre moments: 1996 Super Bowl -- 'Nuff said December 29, 2002 -- Favre plays like horsecrap against the Jets in a meaningless game for the Packers, but a game that decides a ridiculous tiebreaker between the Pats and Jets for the AFC East...

I mean, this is too easy, right? Holy cow! Tim Tebow shows his power stroke in batting practice - Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

What on earth is going on with the kickoff coverage? Pats-Colts: Big return allows Colts to retake momentum and lead with short field Pats-Bills: Big return allows Buffalo to punch in a quick TD in the 4th to keep the score reasonably close Pats-Jets: Leon Washington Next thing I...

From Tomase's blog (please, no rocks or rotten tomatos!): http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/patriots/ That takes the cake. As far as I'm concerned this quote backs Belichick's story 100%. The violation of the rule was the use of a camera versus the use of a pen and pencil. Another...

From the ESPN ombudsman column (scroll all the way to the bottom): http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=schreiber_leanne&id=3240223 I'm scratching my head a little on this -- how does someone like Easterbrook, an opinion column writer, become an investigative...

Don't know if this has been posted before (Reiss' blog), but it's a funny read! http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2007/10/ads_take.html
