Now I'm nervous. Can you really imagine Vanderjagt in red, blue and silver? Can you see some rookie coming in with three seconds left to kick a 43 yard game winner after a brilliant Brady set up drive? In a word NO.From Reiss' Pieces:If Vinatieri signs with another club, the...

Holy crap. Brady will have a 5000 yard season with this receiving core. If Moss does like Corey Dillon, we could bear witness to some seriously epic Montana/Rice scale action this season.Super Bowl XLII? Patriots. By 50.

I can't believe it's December and this is the first time we'll see the Jets. How about that 2005 schedule, eh folks? Remember back at the beginning of the season it seemed like the AFC East was going to be a dogfight between the Pats and Jets? Then, all of sudden, both...

If you caught the shot of Bill Belichick talking on the bench totally ignoring every bit of pre-game hoopla, then you know exactly how I feel about it.What I did see of the pre-game show was actually pretty surreal. Back in '90 I picked up a record called "39 Smooth"...

Warren Sapp on defending against TB: "We've got to pressure him and get him on the ground and try to get the ball..."Thing is though, even if you do get to him and take him down a couple times, he, unlike a certain other great QB who tends to get all pouty and off his...

For now, this is all I've got. I thought this was just a brilliant idea. Taken verbatim from from Bill Simmons' Mail Bag:Q: Does anything about this Tedy Bruschi-on-the-sidelines routine smell funny? Doesn't this seem like a WWE-style ploy by Belichick? What if we get to...

Before we go ahead and get into THE BIG ONE, some unforeseen circumstances left MmS sidelined for Week 8 so here are some quick thoughts in retrospect:- Welcome back Tedy! Man… how we've missed you!- Unfortunately, even with the emotional lift from return of #54 the D still...

It's funny (not like funny ha ha - like funny hold on for dear life) how, though the Red Sox are at the end of their season and the Pats are at the beginning, both are facing a stretch of games that have the potential to make or break the year. Both are coming off suck-tastic losses...

14 January 2006: OK. Third quarter and we're driving. Momentum is swinging our way. Those horrific first half fumbles are about to be nothing but a bad memory. Third and goal, here we go, punch it in, take the lead and make Plummer play behind so The Snake takes over and starts...

"We sucked today," Brady said. "Losing sucks. Any way you cut it, it's no fun."Holy 2002 Tom Brady, you said it. Man what a sucky game. It's not so frustrating that they lost, (they were playing a team with a grudge, who is basically their NFC equivalent...

Note: MmS is a little behind schedule right now due the birth of my brand new baby boy on October 17! The bye week is all about getting caught up so here we go.I thought it would be sometime years from now when His Sweatshirtedness walks off into the sunset of retirement before I had...

John Hanna isn't walking through that door. Andre Tippet isn't walking through that door. And neither are Matt Light, Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, and possibly (gulp) Richard Seymour.All of this is extremely unfortunate because this week is all about the run. Establishing...

Did I say Monday? Well technically it's still Monday for another five minutes as write this, so it still counts even though by the time nobody reads this it will be Tuesday.Anyway, stop me if you've heard this one before: The 2005 Patriots defense can't contain any aspect

OK. I know what your thinking. I haven't posted since before the Colts game. You figure after getting embarrassed by "Footloose" Manning and beating two lousy teams in very unimpressive fashion, I've given up on the season.Well... While I'm not totally above tossing...
Week 4 - San Diego: Welcome Back to Earth

Note: A busy schedule led to a sort of unintended bye week for MmS, so this is a bit late.When your team has won so consistantly for such a long time you tend to forget that this can happen. But it happens to everyone. That's the nature of NFL football. Everyone gets blown out...

At the time of the American Revolution, Minutemen were called such because they only needed a minute to get ready to fight. Similarly, all Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri need is a minute to win a game. I hope Big Ben was taking notes in the final 1:21 yesterday, because Brady was teaching...

Does anyone else feel like Jake Plummer is the Jim Morrison of NFL quarterbacks? I mean I just get this sense that one of these days he's going to have a 400 yard 5 TD game and then be found the next week wandering the desert tattered and unwashed in the midst of a crazed peyote...

It's got to be frustrating. You battle back into the game behind a surprising performance by your back-up QB. You tie it up and in the rush of excitement and momentum you neglect to look at the clock. Then you look up and realize you've just given the greatest late-game QB...
