Call the authorities, the Patriots have lost a former second-round pick. For the third week in a row, second-year cornerback Ras-I Dowling was largely missing from the Patriots' defensive gameplan. According to Mike Reiss from ESPN Boston, Dowling received just five snaps on Sunday. That was after Dowling played four snaps against the Ravens and zero snaps against the Cardinals. It wasn't always this way for the 2011 33rd overall pick. In week one Dowling was the main nickel defensive back, playing 36 snaps and limiting Sterling Moore to just one. Since then, there's been a role-reversal. If Dowling is...

There were time yesterday, where I felt like I had stumbled into some alternate universe. The Patriots were trailing 21-7 in the second half to the Bills and inching dangerously close to a 1-3 record, which would have essentially put them three games behind the Bills with tie-breakers in the race for the AFC crown. At that point, we had already witnessed a fumble by Gronkowski...

Despite a pair of missed field goals by Stephen Gostkowski on Sunday, head coach Bill Belichick said he remains confident in the kicking unit.
"That's an operation that involves more than one guy. It's not a pitcher taking the ball on the mound or a golfer teeing a ball up," Belichick said. "It's a snap, a hold, a kick - a whole process. We'll keep...

Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker celebrate after a 2nd half touchdown – 6 of the 45 points that New England scored in the 2nd half of their 52-28 win over Buffalo.
The Patriots panic? Yeah, right. “Panic” is probably one of the words on the list that nobody in the New England locker room ever uses.
Even a Week 4 game at 1-2 in Buffalo, where they were stunned last year, is...

The New England Patriots played their favorite whipping boy of the Bill Belichick era the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park NY. The problem was in the first half Buffalo looked anything like whipping boys.
The Bills were able to stymie the Patriots offense for a little over 30 minutes on Sunday. After a quick start and a Stevan Ridley 6-yard run...

This was after Brady’s run into the end-zone to tie the game so we have to wonder who he was saying ” ‘eff off” to. Was it the Buffalo fans who were saying mean things about his wife and mommy? Was it the CBS and NFL crews who were questioning the Patriots and their young team? Was it Josh McDaniels who Brady got into a minor war of words with during the second...

October 02, 2012
So today, we are going to get into three hot button issues facing the Patriots currently. As always, follow me @CultOfBelichick-Tavon Wilson or Steve Gregory, who should get more snaps? So, I touched on this a little bit yesterday here, but I think this topic needs to be taken into a little more detail. So far his snap count looks like this, starting from Week 1: 42 (rotation with...
