LATEST STORIES FROM PATRIOTS REPORT
And The Winner Is
Just in case you haven't heard, seen or read enough about Sunday's clash of the undefeateds, (and you probably haven't or you wouldn't be reading this) I'll give you my take. As I touched on in my last post, things seem to have inverted themselves in this rivalry. This week it will be Indy trying t...

Congratulations to the NY Giants....
...the best team in the NFL.They played harder. They wanted it more. They hit harder. They played with more heart. The Defense let ELI throw for 125 yds and 2TD's in the 4th quarter alone. The Giants absolutely deserved this win. The Pats didn't, plain and simple.This game has to be enough evide...

SUPER BOWL XLII.....FINALLY!
And so you finally hear from me. I figured you'd probably been getting sick of the hype and didn't need to hear it from yet another source (me). I really hate this two week break, though it probably favors the Pats. Sunday just can't get here fast enough! First let me say th...

This Weekend's Winners
I can't imagine that there's ever been a divisional playoff round in which all the Home teams were favored by at least 7 points. So much for parity in the NFL. Historically, teams coming off the bye week in this round have gone 53-15 since the current playoff format started. Stil...

The Redskins are Coming
One of my two sleeper picks at the beginning of the season, the Washington Redskins, visit the Patriots this weekend. True to form, the Skins are 4-2 and are playing solid defense and "don't lose the game" offense. The Skins are the only team Tom Brady has not beaten, he's 0-1 against them. It'll ...

The Jet Set
Am I the only one tired of hearing about the games played between Belichick and his nemesis Manjuvenille leading up to this game? Enough already. The game can't get here quick enough as far as I'm concerned. No more speculation, no more what ifs, no more cut Pats arriving in NY for meetings, no mo...

Fallout from Indy, Awards, Top Ten
They can say whatever they want. People have known for years that dome teams mic up the crowd and play it back through the Public Address system. You know the Pats would do the same thing if they were playing in a pansy dome.I for one am happy that Belichick had a cold handshake waiting for Dungy. ...

Pittsburgh
If the Pats are going to lose during the regular season, it's going to be this week. If/when they get by the Steelers they won't lose at home to the Jets or Dolphins nor at the Giants on Dec. 29th. The problem seems to be that things are stacked against them this week...

My Return
Long time no post. I was out of the country last week for the Philly game, so I didn't get a good look at that one, but I did read up on it. Fortunately, (or unfortunately) I was back to witness the same thing this week against the lowly Ravens. So what's up with this Pats team over the las...

Giants Game, Notes
It is difficult to assume that both the Patriots and Giants will play their starters for the entire game Saturday night. If I'm Giants coach Tom Coughlin, I sit my major players. The Giants are playing a wild card game at Tampa Bay next weekend regardless of what happens this week. With guys like J...

How about some Patriots notes....Tom Brady has won the AFC player of the month for September.Rodney is back and should be in...

Championship Sunday
The Pats are still a 14 point favorite to beat the already banged up Chargers on Sunday afternoon. It's going to be very cold and windy. The Foxborough crowd will be sitting on it's collective hands. My dad scored himself a ticket to the game. Thanks for not grabbing one for me too, Pop.When the ...

Patriots Win, However.....
I've been carrying his banner all year long, telling you to pay close atention because he is the best of all time. And Tom Brady didn't let us down. Brady had the best game any quarterback has ever had in the playoffs, completing 92.9% of his passes, 26 completeions on 28 attempts. Two drops. Brady s...

Miami Game; Top Ten
I'd like to start by thanking Johnathon Birs of Capital City Financial for hosting me in his luxury box for the Miami game. Johnathon's generosity is second only to his skill in the Financial World. What are we to make of our star quarterback being in love with his favorite receiver? W...

Off to a Good Start
The Pats looked sharp and only had a couple of blunders on their way to dismantling the Jets. There were a couple of mistakes made and timeouts wasted because plays were not given to Brady in a timely manner, but that is to be expected in week one. All in all it was a great day in Patriots Nation.Fir...

FIFTY SIX to TEN?!?!?!?!
The Patriots beat the Bills 56 - 10 on Sunday night. The Bills, a team that was 5-4 and had won 4 straight games playing at home on national TV. The game was over at the end of the first quarter. The Pats could have scored 80. When it mattered the Pats had 7 drives that...

9-0
The game of the century lived up to the hype - for once. Who would have thought it? Certainly not I. I knew the Colts D was good, but I never imagined they were THAT good. After the game, most experts were crowning the Pats as superbowl champion, giving the Colts no chance to win in Foxborough in...

Steelers Game
What a difference a half makes. The Pats looked shakey on Offense and beatable on Defense. In the first half it looked as though the Steelers would win this one. They had long scoring drives, held the Pats to 3 and outs and were even getting some breaks. How many times ...

The Bye Week is OVER, Bring on Jacksonville!
The Patriots will host the Jacksonville Jaguars this Saturday in the AFC Divisional Round of the Playoffs. Finally! It was so hard to watch football all last weekend without a Patriots game, but it was great that they had the bye. I watched the Jaguars play the Steelers last week and I just couldn't help but be under whelmed. The Jags tried to give the game away. They had...

Jets Game
All indications are that the Pats are going to win this one by a large margin. Many have given us previews that include the worst blowouts of all time in the NFL. All the experts expect the Pats to pile on this week as a result of Videogate. This will be Belichick's chance to put...

Giants Wrap Up, etc
It is true in my humble opinion that the 16-0 record doesn't mean that much unless they go 19-0. As good as the regular season record was, would you be happy if they finished the year 16-1? The thing that bothers me most abut this years team is that they are the complete o...

TEST
Hello Patriots Report readers! The Patriots have gone 16-0 with another nail-biter that came down to the last minute. I'm going to give in depth analysis of the game as usual on Wednesday. Since this is a slow day for me and I was playing legos with my kids, I decided to diagram out the key play of t...

Miami: the Game and the new VP
Let's drink the Belichick cool aid for a moment. Don't let the spread fool you. Don't let Miami's record fool you either. Don't think Miami will be a tough opponent? A closer look at the last time these two teams played back in October might be a little eye opening. ...
