That’s all, folks. The halls of Patriots Daily University are now closed for the season on the heels of Sunday’s humiliating disaster at Gillette Stadium, in which the once proud Patriots lost a 33-14 wild card game to the Baltimore Ravens. The score may as well have 100-0, that’s how [...]

In less time than it took for Wes Welker to crutch-walk off the field after the coin flip, the home team trailed 7-0 and looked about as alert as a sloth on a hot day. Just a terrible game all around.
New England tried to make a game of it (although [...]

We at Worry Wart blame ourselves. With a meaningless Game 16 in our sights, we failed to target the one thing that could derail New England’s momentum heading into the playoffs.
Instead of dwelling on the infamous injury, let’s look toward the Patriots’ concerns (but mostly ours) as they face a [...]

Injuries, such as Wes Welker’s, have a way of making fans appreciate the precariousness of the minuscule margin between victory and defeat. They realize how fleeting success is, and how cherished the moments of triumph should be. Way back in Week 16 things were looking promising, now it seems [...]

I don’t know about any of the other professors here at Patriots Daily University, or any of the readers of our illustrious staff’s work, but I do know that I want Sunday’s 34-27, regular season finale loss to the Houston Texans to just go away. I wish it never [...]

What should have been a carefree romp through the fields of Houston turned into a costly cowplop as New England gave up 21 points in the final 10 minutes, blowing a 14-point lead to lose, 34-27. (We’re not even going to mention Wes Welker’s injury. Hey, why pile on?)
Perhaps no [...]

A tough PD Game Ball to determine this week, but rookie receiver Julian Edelman gets the nod for stepping up in the absence of New England’s (and the NFL’s) most prolific receiver, Wes Welker.
Edelman caught 10 passes for 103 yards, helping the Patriots stay competitive when they had little reason [...]

If there is a world record for screaming the word “No” repeatedly, many New England fans took their best shot at it Sunday afternoon when receiver Wes Welker went down with a knee injury in the first quarter of the 34-27 season-ender at Houston.
The Patriots lost the game and much, [...]

Happy New Year, Patriots fans, or as we like to call it, Digital Day (01-01-10). It’s already off to a solid start, as New England begins 2010 with a home playoff berth in hand.
With the results of Sunday’s visit to Houston meaning little to the standings, it’s difficult to dig [...]

It took them almost two full months, but on Sunday in their regular season home finale, the Patriots finally submitted an effort worthy of a playoff team for 60 full minutes. In thrashing the Jaguars 35-7, the Pats got plus performances from almost everyone on the game day roster, locking [...]

After a game where the Patriots did just about everything well, time to look across the field to hand out the infamous PD Lap (it is still the season of giving, after all). In light of New England’s 35-7 pasting of Jacksonville, we point our finger at Coach Jack Del [...]

You know it’s been a solid game for the home team when several different players vie for the coveted PD Game Ball.
After Sunday’s 35-7 de-clawing of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the prize could have gone to quarterback Tom Brady, who hit Randy Moss three times and Chris Baker once for touchdowns, missed [...]
