Thursday Morning Third Down Back

The Patriots play their eleventh game of the year at Gillette Stadium against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, November 24th at 8:30 PM. Another late night game?  I'm going to be sooo tired Monday morning. Congratulations, Panthers.  Good win. Not holding. I'm going to be honest guys... I'm more than a little worried about this game.  I'd be a more pumped up if we had won last week.  But alas... we did not. Tom Brady blah blah Peyton Manning blah blah best quarterbacks ever blah blah blah. Today is also the 1 year anniversary of the Buttfumble .  Never forget. Here's five guys I'll be staying up late to watch Sunday night: 1) Shane Vereen - Excellent first week back from injured reserve.  A running back who can catch is a nice luxury. 2) Rob Gronkowski - Gronk needs to fight through that hold.  Take that linebacker with you. 3) Aqib Talib - Listed as day to day.  I would feel a lot better about this game if I knew Talib and Alfonzo Den

The Patriots play their tenth game of the year at Bank of America Stadium against the Carolina Panthers on Monday, November 18 at 8:40 PM. Welcome back.  It feels like forever since we've last seen a Patriots game. How'd the Patriots look against the Steelers?  Pretty good! Shane Vereen may play again this week.  Looking forward to seeing him back out there. COACH GOING TO YELL AT THE BEN.  TOTALLY NOT THE BEN'S FAULT! Andre Power Rankings 1) the Giant 2) 3000 3) Carter 4) that seal movie 5) Dawson Here's five guys I'll be staying up late to watch Monday night: 1) Tom Brady - Brady had  432 yards and 4 TDs last week (252 yards in the first half) against Pittsburgh.  Plus he looked the most comfortable I've seen him all season. 2) Aaron Dobson - It feels like Dobson is finally breaking away from the other rookie WRs. 3) Stevan Ridley - Ridley has been looking strong . 4) Chandler Jones - 8.5 sacks already this year.  That'

The Patriots play their ninth game of the year at Gillette against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday November 3rd at 4:25 PM. Weird win last week.  I can't ever remember a football game where the 1st half and the 2nd half were so drastically different. Despite losing bodies left and right, the defense continues to step up.  I have no idea how they're doing it. Does Brady have a broken hand / finger?  Is that what's going on here ?  How long has that been going on?  That would explain a lot.  Not everything.  But a lot.

Screw "fun sized" candy.  All that does is make me eat 7 of them.  Not cool, guys. Didn't drop that one. Here's five guys I'll be watching this week as I recover from my Halloween candy hangover: 1) Stevan Ridley - Wondering why they're not giving him m
