This week the Patriots are taking on the Tennessee Titans. The NFL Competition Committee has decided by executive fiat that this edition of the Buffet Table must be reviewed by Jeff Fisher.
Jeff Fisher is awesome. Did you know that he is the longest serving coach in the NFL? He [...]

Just so we’re all clear, there are four quarters in a football game. Two halves. It’s at least conceivable that the Patriots forgot those guidelines out in Denver, where they lost to the Broncos, 20-17 in overtime. Maybe it was the thin air. Regardless, one team made some [...]

Where do I begin?
I’ll start with the second conference loss in five weeks. This shit adds up when it comes to tiebreakers in December. That is if we’re even having those conversations in December. Yesterday’s second-half collapse – and the futility displayed therein – was that disconcerting.
When the [...]

It was a mustard yellow nightmare is what it was. A throwback game that should literally be thrown back.
For the second time this season, the Patriots have played poorly on the road and lost, both times to teams that harbor their own playoff hopes. Yesterday’s mustard yellow nightmare [...]

Thoughts from a mile high…
The inactives will come in later than usual, I assume – but we know the Pats won’t have Fred Taylor of course, and James Sanders (10th in total defensive snaps; see below) has a bum shoulder that will keep him out. Joey Galloway will [...]

Combined Record of Opponents

First, I should note for posterity’s sake that I was going to tag Matt Light with this week’s “award”, for turning a 17-7 lead to a 17-14 white knuckle thrill ride with one third-quarter stumble on Sunday. But then I realized that stumble came against the lightning-fast Terrell [...]

You don’t beat a 3-0 team without some solid performances on both sides of the ball, but Brandon Meriweather was the best Patriots player on the field yesterday.
It wasn’t just his cross country trek to knock a long touchdown pass away from Derrick Mason in the second quarter; [...]

Thoughts while wondering if it will be the Ravens offense or defense that poses the greatest threat to the Patriots today…
Really, I’ve been back and forth on this over the last few days. First I wonder if the Pats can get their cranky passing game up to snuff [...]
