Like many other teams that are caught up in a playoff run, this year’s Patriots were big on facial hair. Wes Welker was all about his mustache and showcased it regularly on Twitter during the postseason. Logan Mankins continued his normal routine, which involves rocking a badass Fu Manchu. Apparently he thought the Patriots logo on his helmet could use one as well. Check out these pictures that @BushwoodFantasy shared:

Unfortunately for Mankins, the luck ran out in the AFC Championship game. Maybe it was the helmet mustache that made Billy Cundiff shank a chip shot, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Eli Manning and the Giants.

Stephen Gostkowski, Zoltan Mesko Lead Patriots' Specialists Through Strong Season

Editor's note: Jeff Howe will review each position on the Patriots' roster every day through Feb. 13. This edition highlights the specialists. It looks like the Patriots have compiled their young battery of specialists. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski has been a staple since 2006, and he's signed through 2014. Punter Zoltan Mesko has emerged as one of the league's better...

Now’s not the time for a contract extension for Rob Gronkowski. Or is it?

Rob Gronkowski’s rookie deal takes him through the 2013 season, so there’s need to worry about the tight end and free agency in the immediate future.  But it might be wise for the Patriots, as well as Gronk’s camp to get the ball rolling on discussions at some point this year. In the lead to my NFL Sunday notes today, I examined the benefits for both sides beingÂ...

Patriots to try and sign Mario Williams?

Eric Edholm of Pro Football Weekly believes Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots could try and sign Houston Texans defensive end/linebacker Mario Williams once he becomes a free agent on March 13th. I honestly don’t see Belichick going after Williams, since he was still able to get a solid pass rush this season with Mark Anderson, Vince Wilfork and Andre Carter.  And...

Belichick says golf helps take his mind off the Super Bowl

Patriots coach Bill Belichick headed to Pebble Beach a few days after losing Super Bowl XLVI, and he came across as surprisingly upbeat in a TV appearance there on Saturday. “It’s a tough loss, a tough couple days, but Pebble Beach is a great spot to take your mind off some of the troubles we…

Is Randy Moss a Good Fit For Patriots?

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss announced Monday that he plans on returning to the NFL.  The seven-time pro bowler who played with the Patriots from 2007-2010 retired on August 1, 2011 after spending 2010 with the Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, and Tennessee Titans. The Patriots are in desperate need of a deep threat receiver and will likely be looking to free...

Gronkowski played in the Super Bowl with multiple torn ligaments

According to Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had multiple torn ligaments in his ankle, which was the reason he underwent surgery on Friday. Now we know why Gronkowski’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said that he wouldn’t have played if last week’s game wasn’t the Super Bowl. Gronkowski’s injured ankle limited him to two receptions...

Brady spiral

The media should be talking about how Brady drove down the field and the Patriots won the Super Bowl. We should be spreading word that Belichick and Brady are the best combo ever, that they should rename the trophy to Belichick-Lambardi trophy. That Joe Montana now has a superior, but all that talk stood still. Instead we heard of controversy and questions. The first of is this...
