Opinion: Boston fans: Enough already

09 May 2009 21:06:09 PDT

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 ...

Opinion: New England Patriots 41 - Denver Broncos 7 -- The Aftermath

21 Oct 2008 07:06:47 PDT

Written 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...

Written by Brent
With safety/linebacker/special teamer Tank Williams being placed on IR and wide receiver/special teamer Sam Aiken out for the rest of the season, we may see the Patriots have to review their personnel and available free agents to fill more then one gap on defense and special teams.

18 May 2008 23:28:40 PDT

Written by Brent
I am not impressed and if last year reminds me of anything it is not individual or teams records that matter if you are not able to win the Super Bowl. The 2007 Patriots reminded me of the Colts and Peyton Manning of always breaking records but until 2006 (after beating the Patriots in the AFC Ch...

Patriots’ NFL Draft Day One review

26 Apr 2008 23:22:30 PDT

Written by Jamie
The Patriots started Saturday’s proceedings with the 7th overall pick. With Chris Long and Vernon Gholston being off the board, the Pats saw the best value in trading back with the Saints to the #10 overall spot. In doing so, they gained the Saints’ third round selection and gave up their own...

Opinion: Sen. Specter Is Hardly Mr. Pure, Impartial Judgment Guy [Arlen Specter]

05 Feb 2008 10:05:25 PST

Written by Leitch
You might have thought Sen. Arlen Specter was going after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the New England Patriots because he's an Eagles fan. (And because he is, generally, rather cranky.) Turns out he might have some ulterior motives.

Opinion: Random Patriots reaction

Written by John Tomase
We played Patriot football and this is what I’m used to playing since I’ve been here for [the last] five years — going out here, not taking any crap, standing up to a big, physical team like Pittsburgh and doing what we do best. That’s playing sound, fundamental football very physical and tha...

07 Nov 2007 22:02:29 PST

Written by John Tomase
THE SPECIAL TEAMS DISPARITY: The Patriots simply dominated in the return game. The Colts didn’t look that different from the team that allowed Devin Hester to take the opening kick in the Super Bowl for a touchdown. Ellis Hobbs and Wes Welker were continuously able to get outside on both kic...

Written by Brent
Earlier this year it was interesting to read, listen and watch all the views on the New England Patriots for the upcoming 2007 season. ‘Big time’ signings in the offseason were made to catapult the Patriots past the Colts and compete for another Championship.

Opinion: 'Stop the run' on bad information

16 Oct 2007 23:32:23 PDT

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
OK, let’s even give that to Cowlishaw. Let’s suppose that Wade could have forgotten about the run and tried to stop Brady from torching the secondary. How would you get it done? In true gotcha’ style, "Perry Mason" Cowlishaw dropped his bombshell evidence on the jury by hearkening back to th...

Film review: Cowboys vs. Patriots (defense)

16 Oct 2007 20:56:52 PDT

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
Kevin Burnett played a lot and seemed to do an OK job in coverage, I never really saw him getting beat. He blitzed a couple times and was just late on his pressure as Brady got it out both times, once for a TD. I don’t know if it was his responsibility or Roy Williams’ responsibility to cover Kyle Br...

Written by Beth
In fairness, though, while the fans are given to being hypercritical, it’s also been acknowledged by both Coach Belichick and various Patriots players that New England can play better than they did on Sunday–and they’re going to need to if they hope to beat teams that are better than the B...

2007 NFL Preview: New England Patriots

22 Aug 2007 08:44:57 PDT

Written by Dave Golokhov(dave.golokhov@thescore.ca)
The Broncos, similar to how the Patriots and Colts, just know what to do to defeat the Patriots. The Broncos have a very good team and a better quarterback than last season and they appear to have the best shot at taking out the Patriots.

Opinion: Dissecting NFL Coaches of the AFC East

Written by Beth
However, it seems that in recent years “In Belichick We Trust” has lost some of its luster in Boston, and at least some of the reasons for that are understandable. I’m as stung by the Patriots’ loss to the Colts as anyone. But I’ve found some of the harping and carping on Belichick by some member...
