Lets Just Get It All Out There
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff This Patriots season is being anticipated with doom and gloom not seen in these parts since the end of the Pete Carroll era. Here’s a sampling of opinions I’ve heard on the Patriots from the media and fans in recent weeks: (And for the record, I'm not suggesting that all these are inaccurate.) The defense already can’t get a pass rush, now with … [Read More...]
Patriots Wrap Up Preseason With Giants in 3D
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff The Patriots wrap up their preseason schedule tonight at 7:00PM with their annual matchup with the New York Giants. This game will be held in the brand-new Meadowlands Stadium. The game can be seen on the Patriots 2010 Preseason Television Network and also to a national audience on the NFL Network. Veteran CBS broadcaster Don Criqui provides play-by-play … [Read More...]
Worry Wart – Preseason Game Four At Giants
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Preseason games should be fun to watch, because we get to check out our favorite team with no real concern for the result. That said, last Thursday’s 36-35 loss to the Rams was about as enjoyable as sliding down a saguaro cactus. We’ll move on to this week, the Battle of the Backups, with hopes for at least a pleasant diversion before watching games that … [Read More...]
Practice Squad Predictions
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff This week will see the roster cut down twice, on Tuesday to 75 and Saturday to the 53-man roster. You'll see a few moves after that before opening day (I believe that both the Richard Seymour and Lawyer Milloy moves actually both came after the 53 man rosters were originally set.) By next Sunday, players will be eligible for the eight-man practice squad. Working … [Read More...]
Malware Warnings on PatriotsDaily
Depending on the browser you use, some of you may be seeing a warning that this site may be infected with Malware and is a reported "attack site." Patriots Daily, along with thousands of other websites (including PatriotsLinks.com) all hosted by the same company were recently the target of an automated attack by hackers. So no, this was not an attack originated by jealous Jets fans or anything like … [Read More...]
Take A Lap – Defense
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Alrighty then. What in the name of Dean Pees was that all about? That was ugly. You almost hope this was a product of not taking the Rams seriously, and getting a little cocky after the press clippings of their first two performances. That can be corrected. If not, we might be seeing 36-35 scores in the regular season as well. Some of the youngsters, after … [Read More...]
Watching Patriots/Rams Tonight at 7:30PM
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Tonight's third preseason game will be broadcast on the Patriots Preseason Television Network, meaning we get another dose of the dynamic duo of Don Criqui and Randy Cross. Aren't you excited? OK, maybe we're excited by the game, but not with the announcers. Since the Krafts put a lot of pride into their operation, I'm hoping that they can consider bringing … [Read More...]
Worry Wart – Preseason Game Three vs. Rams
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Preseason games usually lack much significance, but 2010’s friendly contests mean more than before. With two dozen draft picks over the past two years and countless new players (and by countless, I mean like six), fans are watching these games with the attentiveness of an overcaffeinated Where’s Waldo? addict. Last Thursday’s outscoring of Atlanta kept … [Read More...]
On Mankins, McKenzie
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff These are two guys whose situations couldn't be more different, but both have been on my mind quite a bit this week. First, lets talk for a minute about Logan Mankins. Neither Mankins nor his agent are doing themselves any favors these days. After rejecting the Patriots offer earlier this summer, one that is reported to have been a seven year, $45.5 million … [Read More...]
The Running Back Issue
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Some call it running back by committee, or RRBC. Some see it as proof that no one really sticks out. With a recent Sports Illustrated cover story on the fast decline of feature backs (not exactly news – remember Marion Butts’ time in Foxboro?) it seems that the Patriots have found a temporary solution to an ongoing problem. Though effective this preseason, … [Read More...]
PD Game Ball – ‘Backs and ‘Ends
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Two rushing touchdowns of 20 yards or more, and two touchdown passes to tight ends? These aren't the 2009 Patriots. The 2009 Patriots were entirely too reliant on passing to Wes Welker and Randy Moss, and while they had a decent running game, too many times they couldn't get into the end zone. Outside of the opening night win over the Bills, when Benjamin … [Read More...]

Where To Watch Patriots/Falcons Tonight…and Beyond!
(Sorry, my son is very much into Buzz Lightyear these days.) The New England Patriots will travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons at the Georgia Dome in a nationally-televised game on FOX on Thursday night. TELEVISION: This week’s game will be broadcast by FOX and can be seen in Boston on WFXT-TV Channel 25. Joe Buck will handle play-by-play duties with Troy Aikman providing color. Pam Oliver … [Read More...]
Worry Wart – Preseason Game Two At Falcons
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff After wringing our hands all summer over myriad aspects of New England Version 2010, the home boys came to play last week, gaining a 17-7 lead over the Saints on their way to a meaningless-yet-enjoyable 27-24 win. This week, the locals have trekked down to Atlanta to share a practice field and a scrimmage. Now that some kind of a bar has been set, we’re … [Read More...]
Roster Reset, Preseason Week Two
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff So we spent quite a bit of time doing those positional previews heading into the start of training camp, but we already need to make a few adjustments. There are several players we talked about in those previews, who are already not going to be a part of the 2010 Patriots, and some others who have their status in doubt. Let's review. G Logan Mankins … [Read More...]
