It is time for Tom Brady to look forward and get his troops aligned in time for the 2012 NFL playoffs
Despite an 11-4 record, the New England Patriots had a roller-coaster of a ride during the 2012 regular season. From an early choke against Arizona to a miraculous comeback effort against San Francisco, we have seen it all – even a seven game win streak.
Tom Brady and company currently hold the third seed in the AFC behind the Texans (12-3) and Broncos (12-3). In order to earn a first-round playoff bye, the Patriots need some help with a loss from either squad on Sunday. Houston is at Indianapolis at 1:00 while Denver hosts Kansas City at 4:25. The kickoff between Miami and New England was flexed to the 4:25 slot due to the aforementioned teams and implications.
Belichick has made it public knowledge that the Patriots are playing to win, per usual. Is this the week Gronk returns to brush off the rust? Who knows? One thing we can count on is a poised Tom Brady. Jacksonville did not t...

Brady close to breaking wins record
Tom Brady was in his second season as a pro when he won his first playoff game.
Now as a 13-year veteran, the New England Patriots star needs one more victory to break a tie with Joe Montana for most in the postseason by a quarterback.
He'd love to get his 17th on Sunday against the Houston Texans, not just to reach the milestone but to also advance to the AFC championship...

Tom Brady is now up to 8 INTs on the season, but not so long ago he only had 3. Brady has always been streaky when it comes to INTs. Hopefully he can start another INT-free streak heading into the postseason. Still, let's examine why he has fallen into this little slump as of late.Brady throws a lot of passes into tight windows, so tipped passes are usually the main culprit of...

It’s hard to believe, but another NFL regular season winds down this weekend. Another season of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will be in the books. What a run it has been. Why not try to enjoy it while we still have it?
As for Sunday, it seems pretty simple. If the Texans win, I think the Patriots treat this week as their bye. As many key players as possible will be rested. There...

Dolphins at Patriots game preview
Game time: Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET

The New England Patriots should have a pretty good idea whether their regular-season finale has any significance in the AFC playoff picture before the opening kickoff.
Either way, it may mean something to their confidence heading into the postseason.
After a pair of uninspiring starts, the Patriots look to produce a better first half of...

Santa was good to me this year. I got a Bengals toaster, a new authentic Dalton jersey and a playoff berth. It feels so good to be here. Playoff bound, a good core group of guys and a team that finally looks to be on the up-and-up. People will talk about this Sunday’s game against the Ravens and why is does or doesn’t matter (everyone knows that it does) but there is...
