Boston Globe  NC As for the New England Patriots, well, if you didn't grow up with it, it's hard to root for a team run by the most cynical, ruthless, mechanical coach in the NFL. Rooting for the Patriots is like rooting for the swine flu, except the swine flu might be ...

Matt Cassel threw 51 and 43 passes in back-to-back, 400-yard passing games the past two weeks. The New England Patriots’ quarterback has 359 attempts for the season, which is about half the career attempts he had in his high school, college and pro careers combined before this season.

By Omar Kelly STOCK UP STOCK DOWN Deuces. That embarrassing loss to the Patriots could potentially be a season-altering defeat. It can either take the wind out of this spunky team's sail, or define the kind of spirit the Trifecta's Dolphins will have. Winning the AFC East now...

By TheSportsGuru Look at just the first drive.  The Broncos were inside the Patriots 35 yardline, and had the ball for over 6 minutes.  The crowd was quiet, the Broncos were shoving it down the Patriots throat, and that was obviously the game plan.  The fumble kills all of that.  Similarly, the 2nd drive moves in...
