After two straight losses to the Lions and Patriots, the Packers playoff hopes were dwindling. Not only did they lose to a team who hadn't won a game against an NFC North opponent in almost three years, they were without their starting QB Aaron Rodgers (concussion). While back-up QB Matt Flynn filled in more than admirably against the Patriots, it was evident on the last drive … [Read more...] about Green Bay Back in Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood

NFL Week 16 Previews: AFC Games
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ BUFFALO BILLS New England is the 83 percent road favorite. Tom Brady is projected for a solid game with 240 passing yards and just a 50 percent chance of throwing an INT. The Patriots are heavy favorites because Benjarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead are both averaging over 5 ypc. If Buffalo can intercept Brady at least once while holding the … [Read more...] about NFL Week 16 Previews: AFC Games

Current New England Patriots Dominance Resembles 2007 Team
The last time I saw a NFL team just absolutely annihilate everyone they played each week, it was in 2007. And it was also the same New England Patriots. That was the infamous undefeated season, the only team in NFL history to go perfect in a 16 game slate. Of course, they also lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants in one of the greatest upsets in NFL history, so that … [Read more...] about Current New England Patriots Dominance Resembles 2007 Team
New England Patriots Blow Out Bears, Continue Rampage through NFL
It was billed as Super Bowl XX Redux, and also a prospective glimpse into this year’s Super Bowl: Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots is one of the most important regular season NFL games to happen in Chicago in a very long time. The result was a laugher that was decided long before halftime. The Pats went into the locker room, and out of the Ice World of Hoth leading the … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Blow Out Bears, Continue Rampage through NFL

Wow Tom Brady sure is dreamy, isn't he? Especially with that Pee Wee Herman tattoo photo-shopped onto his tricep. But enough jokes, let's talk NFL football. Monday night's showdown-throwdown between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets ended in a hilarious 45-3 laugher. Which reminds shout out those douchebag Jets fans who criticized me and called me nasty names … [Read more...] about Bears-Patriots Live Blog! Join the Discussion Here Sunday!
Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
The Detroit Lions fell flat on the biggest stage of the season for that franchise. I am talking about a figurative stage, not the one that Michigan born and bred Kid Rock performed on during the half. In fairness, the team did play well for the majority of the game. They did, however, fall flat on their face during the latter moments of play on Thursday. The few bright spots of … [Read more...] about Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
Woodhead & Law Firm Show Patriots have Ground Game too
It's very easy to think of the New England Patriots as a pass-first team, and they certainly are. Although the air attack isn't quite once it was when Randy Moss was at his prime, the Patriots still became the first NFL team to reach six wins largely without him, and he wasn't all that productive in 2010 while he was in Foxboro. (Or Foxborough, or Foxborro, depending on your … [Read more...] about Woodhead & Law Firm Show Patriots have Ground Game too
Patriots Zoltan Mesko: He is, the Most Interesting Punter in the World
Yesterday, I saw a lot of search engine love for former Michigan Wolverines and current New England Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko, an athlete with a fascinating back-story. For some reason, a lot of people were searching for Zoltan Mesko t-shirts lately. I guess the cult status he had in Ann Arbor is spreading to the NFL, or Boston at least. So I figured it was time to … [Read more...] about Patriots Zoltan Mesko: He is, the Most Interesting Punter in the World
Vikings Release Randy Moss, New England Patriots Doing Fine Without him
Yesterday, Randy Moss echoed the sentiments of '80s trash metal band Cinderella: "You don't know what you got till it's gone." After his former team, the New England Patriots beat down and beat up his Minnesota Vikings 28-18, Moss told the press what a great Coach Bill Belichick is (uhm yeah, the sky is blue, water's wet...basic obvious truths here) and how much he misses … [Read more...] about Vikings Release Randy Moss, New England Patriots Doing Fine Without him
