The Minnesota Vikings beat the New York Giants 24-10 last night to improve to 4-0 on the season but that’s not what we are talking about this morning. Instead, most of the media attention once again centers around the antics of Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. who finished with 3 catches for 23 yards and acted like a complete tool. Beckham was out of control last night. He had…
Patriots Pulse Blog: The Heart of Soul of the Patriots is Back!
Sunday’s 16-0 debacle at the hands of the Buffalo Bills is further proof that you cannot win in the NFL without a quarterback. Yeah…I get it. Jacoby Brissett is a rookie and he wasn’t healthy but its not like he put up “big” numbers against the Texans the week before. Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo did a great job in Tom Brady’s absence but now the GOAT is back and so…
Vallee’s View: Bills Shutdown Patriots
By Michael Vallee -The Price of PSI: Score one for Roger Goodell. After roaring to a 3-0 non-Brady start behind multiple quarterbacks, the Patriots hit a QB wall Sunday in a 16-0 drubbing at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. I guess Patriots fans were asking too much for their team to emerge from the depths of Deflategate completely unscathed, particularly when they received the surprising news that…
NCAA Football: Dime Package for Week 5
The U is for real and people need to start recognizing Mark Richt’s team. 1. With Oregon falling apart and Stanford lacking a quarterback, Washington has emerged as the best team in the Pac-12 North. Chris Pedersen is building a monster. 2. Baylor barely beat Iowa State. Baylor has narrowly escaped defeat the last few weeks but you get the sense their luck is about to run out. 3. Don’t…

Week four featured a shutout, a 300 yard receiver performance, a five touchdown pass game and a busted tablet. Just another weekend in the NFL. 1. As good as the Patriots looked last week against the Texans, they looked equally as bad this week against the Bills. So much for Bill Belichick being a genius huh? 2. The Panthers miss Josh Norman and Julio Jones’ performance yesterday is proof they…
Patriots Pulse Recap: Bills 16 Patriots 0
Game Rewind: The Patriots were shut out for the first time ever at Gillette Stadium 16-0 by the Bills in what was a lackluster performance. Today’s performance by the Patriots was a complete 180 of last Thursday night’s 27-0 win over the Texans. Needless to say, Tom Brady can’t return fast enough. Here are my five thoughts on the game. 1. Brissett Was Battered: You have to feel for rookie…
NFL At Large: Week Four Preview and Predictions

It is also the last week of Tom Brady’s suspension which has to make Patriots fans happy. Here are my picks for this week. Indianapolis Colts (1-2) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3): This is a must game for Jags coach Gus Bradley….
Patriots Pulse Preview: Buffalo Bills (1-2) at New England Patriots (3-0)
Storyline: The Patriots host the Bills today in what is the final game of Tom Brady’s four game suspension. Brady’s return couldn’t becoming at a better time as both Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett are banged up. The Patriots did announce this morning that they are starting Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. Brissett is playing with a banged up thumb so it’ll be interesting to see how much they throw with…
