When you get spoiled watching a dynasty, even a year-long absence can seem like a long time to go not watching your favorite team in the playoffs. And after sitting out last year’s post-season action, that how it feels with the Patriots. A long time. But the playoffs return and [...]

Earlier in the season, we had a nice chat with Right Off Russell, a Baltimore area sports blog. This week, we’re renewing acquaintances with the guys, and talking about this week’s playoff matchup between the Patriots and Ravens.
How are the Ravens a different team from what we saw early in [...]

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 [...]
It’s funny how things in the NFL can change in just a few short weeks. The Vikings have all the Farve haters chuckling. The Saints are in disarray, having lost to the Buccaneers and Cowboys. The Colts look ripe for the plucking, and have the Patriots fans salivating at the possibility of revenging that fourth [...]
It says here the Patriots should play to win this week in their matchup at the Houston Texans just like the Giants did in ‘07. If anyone is borderline injury-wise, it would make sense to leave them out of the game. But besides that, it would make sense because there is a possible advantage to [...]

We’ve reached the regular season finale. Unbelievable. This week we had a great chat with Mike Kerns of the Don’t Mess With Texans blog. It’s a longshot, but it’s possible we might get to do this all over again next week, if things fall right.
How angry were you and fellow [...]
The Patriots come into Sunday’s final regular season home game with a chance to reach their first goal, wining the AFC East. A victory assures that goal will be accomplished for the Patriots. Their chances look good, as they’ve yet to lose at home. Standing in the way are the Jacksonville Jaguars whose own playoff [...]
After a few weeks absence, Trading Places makes a triumphant return this week, as we sit down and chat with Nate from the Teal Power Jaguars blog.
1) As as Jags fan, what are your thoughts on Jack Del Rio as a head coach? What are his strengths and weaknesses?
He does not know how to get [...]

The Patriots see their last division game come this Sunday in their second match up with Buffalo, who they saw in the opener. Once again, it would seem to make sense for the Patriots to pound it on offense. These Bills are very injured and banged up on defense and [...]

The Patriots travel down to play the Miami Dolphins this Sunday at 1PM. At times, this stadium has been a house of horrors for the Patriots. While the Patriots have won 2 straight down there by comfortable margins, they are just 4-5 down there in the Bill Belichick years having [...]
For tonight’s Monday night matchup between the unbeaten New Orleans Saints and the Patriots, we’re turning to Saints blog Canal Street Chronicles for a Bayou perspective. Dave Cariello from CSC was kind enough to answer a few questions for us, and we did the same for him.
The Saints offense has been unbelievable this season, they [...]

A terrific Monday night match-up is at hand between the 10-0 Saints and 7-3 Patriots. But, despite all the hype, this is actually one of the two games the Patriots could most afford to lose along with the Carolina game, given that they’re against NFC opponents. But the reality for [...]
