On the cusp of 2014, time to take a look back at another year of double-digit wins for New England, another first-round bye, and another year as AFC East Champs. Considering all that happened in 2013, 12-4's not too shabby. To review the fourth quarter of the regular season, the Patriots had a near-impossible 27-26 … Continue reading Forethoughts On The Playoffs: Fifth Quarter 2013

Weren't we just in training camp, admiring the work of Zach Sudfeld and how he was going to fill in ably at tight end? Now, the NFL regular season will be over on Sunday, and the Patriots, despite a myriad of injuries, are pretty much right where people expected them to be. With a win … Continue reading NFL Regular Season Winds Down On Sunday
The Patriots backed into yet another division title as the Buffalo Bills helped them out by shutting out the Miami Dolphins yesterday, 19-0. The same Dolphins team that beat YOU last week. Kidding aside, the Patriots played perhaps their best all around game of the season yesterday - or did Baltimore just play that poorly, … Continue reading Patriots Back Into Playoff Spot As Miami Chokes in Buffalo
This week has been a lovefest for the Baltimore Ravens, both from the Patriots themselves, and from the local media. It's understandable, the Ravens have become a thorn in the side of New England pretty much since John Harbaugh took over. Do you realize that the 2010 Wild Card playoff game was the first time … Continue reading Ravens Present Huge Challenge To Patriots Hopes

I'm not going to … Continue reading Media Circling Wagons Around Shaughnessy Are As Clueless As He Is
It seems like Dan Shaughnessy isn't feeling the love as of late. Why else devote a whole column to trying to justify his pitiful existence? As usual, Dan also completely misses the point, and shows repeatedly just how clueless and out of touch he really is. I've sort of shied away from the Dan Shaughnessy … Continue reading .@Dan_Shaughnessy Is Here To Troll, Not To Write
