has un-retired once again to play football in New England. Seau's
return has been rumored for a couple of weeks, but the network he was
working for is...
UnPatriot-like problems continue to hurt - will they rebound before the bye week?
After the loss to Josh McDaniels and the Denver Broncos, it is time to reflect a bit more on the 2009 New England Patriots.
This is not your team of the decade as the Patriots continue to struggle offensively with Tom Brady playing the lead role in disappointment. Add to this the poor...
A familiar scene - Patriots lose to Broncos
If you include the playoffs, Brady was 1-5 coming into this game against the Denver Broncos in his career. As a matter of fact, it's the only NFL team against which he has a losing record. If you count today's game, that total is now 1-6.Somehow we've gotten used to the...
Runningback Fred Taylor to have surgery
The Patriots' depth at runningback will be tested after news broke this afternoon that the team's leading rusher so far, Fred Taylor, has to have surgery on his right ankle and may miss the rest of the season. According to Chris Gasper on the Globe's Extra Points blog:Taylor...
Building on a tough win, Patriots still have work to do
A win is a win and two in a row over teams that had success in the playoffs last year and expecting to be there again this year is a good sign.
As much as I enjoyed watching the game late night in Geneva, at times it was frustrating and I was concerned by the lack of consistency with...
Patriots push past Ravens to tie for first place in AFC East
The Patriots took the field in pink gloves and shoes to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation this afternoon. As last week's game drew to a close, it looked as though things might be coming together for a Patriots team that is still assimilating many new faces and...
Patriots win a wet one over Falcons
Instead of saving a comeback for the final minutes, the Patriots regrouped after a somewhat lackluster first half to win decisively over the Atlanta Falcons on a gray and drizzly afternoon in Foxboro today. The win puts them back above .500 and kept the Patriots breathing down the...
Patriots mental lapses have been costly
In 2008, the Patriots were still following up from 2007 and setting NFL records - although of a different nature. Last year, the Pats were called for only 72 penalties and after declined or offsetting they were flagged for only 57 accepted penalties - the fewest ever during a 16-game...
Pats seeing red in the red zone
With the Patriots' record to start the season at 1-1, panic has set in throughout Patriot Nation. You can read it on the message boards and hear it when fans call into sports talk radio. While many fans have officially pushed the panic button, they need to keep in mind that the...
Patriots, Jets rivalry is just part of the fun
The rivalry between the Patriots and Jets have always been there as part of the AFC East division. Most older fans will say they hate Miami more than the Jets, but that is history.
Over a decade ago, Bill Parcells and his crew left new England and went back to New York. But instead...
Patriots have a bit more work to do
As thoughts on Monday night's game continue to roll through my head, I am aware of many things that should concern me, yet I am still just happy for Brady ending the game standing up and doing what he has done well so many times before. Oh yes, and the win, baby! Gotta love the...
Patriots pull out a wild one on Monday Night Football
Tom Brady in the throwback uniform means it now requires that much less imagination to picture him coming in to Super Bowl XX instead of Tony Eason.
And while he put in a performance more respectable than Eason's in this game, it seemed the spirit of the ham-handed signal-caller...
Patriots versus Bills: kick-off a new beginning
The New England Patriots always seem to be in a state of change. Every year there is turnover of players and coaches and this year is no different. The number of coaching and player changes on the roster are too many to worry about now as the big day approaches when the Patriots open...

Pats fans reeling as Patriots announce Seymour trade
Richard Seymour has left giant footprints in Foxboro, in more ways than one...The claim is that there are no "special" players. Ostensibly, the New England Patriots are a team of equals, interchangeable parts. But as the 2009 off-season and pre-season have revealed, certain...
And then there were 53
The deadline for the NFL final roster cut down to 53 was earlier today by 6 p.m. The Patriots had made some moves prior to the deadline, but now the smoke has cleared and the 2009 New England Patriots are set (for now). History has shown that this roster is certainly not set in stone...
Pats/Giants initial thoughts
After being down 21-0 in the first quarter, the Patriots came back to beat the Giants 38-27 in their preseason finale. The Giants started the game with their starters and really made the Pats' backups and soon-to-be-unemployed players look silly. It was almost like watching someone...
Patriots v Giants - last chance to make the roster
Well this week has been full of interesting roster moves as the Patriots cut a few veterans like long snapper Nathan Hodel and youngsters QB Kevin O'Connell and living legend Tedy Bruschi retired. The Patriots also have rookies LB Tyrone McKenzie and WR Brandon Tate on IR and OL...
Roster cut to final 53 - who will make it?
I originally posted my outlook for the 53 man roster two weeks ago and a few surprise changes with Tredy Brushi retiring and Kevin O'Connell being cut. Also a few other players are back from injuries.
So who do I think will make it?
QB 3 Brady, Walter, Hoyer. Hoyer is a developmental...
Quick picks from Patriots game versus the Redskins
Sure it has been almost a week since the game aired, but sometimes you have to mull things over, think things through or try to forget that the Pats nearly lost to the Redskins... the first team Redskins!
Top things I liked
Tom Brady (12-19, 150 yds) threw two TDs to Randy Moss - looked...
Tedy Bruschi to retire
Tedy Bruschi, #54, will be announcing his retirement tomorrow morning after 14 years in the NFL, all with the Patriots. NBC Sunday Night Football announcer Al Michaels made the announcement during the Bears/Broncos broadcast and it has been announced that there will be an "important...
Patriots send QB O'Connell packing, what next?
Funny the difference a year makes. All three quarterback from the 2008 are no longer with the New England Patriots. Matt Cassell and Matt Gutierrez are in Kansas City with Scott Pioli and the Patriots just waived 2008 3rd pick Kevin O'Connell according to Mike Reiss of the Boston...
Patriots - Redskins match-up will impact roster changes
As the roster changes keep coming and Bill Belichick and the front office continue to make a few moves to help the team, the important number to think about out the moment is not Tom Brady's or Vince Wilfork future contract details, but the number 75. The roster has to be whittled...

Pats/Bengals halftime thoughts
At the half in the Patriots' second preseason game, they trail the Bengals 7 - 6. Tom Brady started the game and remained in for two series. He led the Pats to a field goal on his first series and then a 3-and-out on the second series, including taking a hard hit. However, I did...
