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
Odell Beckham is proof that there is crying in football. The Vikings could make him cry again tomorrow night. Week four is the first bye week of the season. 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…
NCAA Football: Top Five Match-Ups for Week Five
Where does time go? We’ve already reached the end of September and we are nearing the halfway point in the college football season. Here are my top five games for this weekend. #7 Stanford Cardinal at #10 Washington Huskies: The Pac-12 will struggle to get a team into the College Football Playoff. The only way they’ll be able to is if a team in the conference goes undefeated. That means that…
Les Miles Firing is Embarrassing for LSU
The administration at LSU proved just how incompetent they are this past weekend when they fired head coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Firing Miles this early in the season makes zero sense. After almost firing Miles at the end of last season, the clowns who make up the administration at LSU decided to bring Miles back because there were no better options available. Nine months later, they…
The Daily Script for 9/28/16
The Texans just aren’t the same team without Watt. 1.No Watt, no chance for the Texans. I know people around here think he is overrated but Watt is the Texans best player and is the heart and soul of the team. If he’s not right, the Texans are not right. 2.Bill Belichick knows who is starting at quarterback for him on Sunday. He’s not announcing it for obviously reasons. Keep…
NCAA Football: Dime Package for Week 4
The Trojans haven’t been doing much fighting under Clay Helton thus far in 2016. 1.USC is 1-3. Do you think Pat Haden and the admin at SC regret promoting Clay Helton? If you asked them privately, they would say yes. Current AD Lynn Swann however has supported Helton publicly. 2. Is there any chance we could Lamar Jackson the Heisman now? I don’t want to see him regress and not…
Week 3 Dime Package
Trevor Siemien can do more than this for the Broncos as evident by his four touchdown performance yesterday. 1. The Redskins literally saved their season by beating the Giants. No team that has started a season 0-3 has ever made the playoffs. Washington still has hope. 2. So I guess Trevor Siemien is a starting quarterback in the NFL after all. I had him pegged as a handoff specialist. 3….
Vallee’s View: Belichick Masters the Texans
The Patriots put on a coaching clinic in a 27-0 shutout win over former assistant Bill O’Brien and the Texans. By Michael Vallee -Masterpiece Theater: While most coaches will tell you players win championships, there is no denying that NFL head coaches have more influence on the outcome of games than any other coach/manager in any other sport, and Thursday night Bill Belichick exercised that impact to the max by…
NFL At Large: Week 3 Preview
The Patriots opened up Week 3 with a convincing 27-0 win over the Houston Texans. Here is our preview of the rest of the week. Arizona Cardinals (1-1) at Buffalo Bills (0-2):Firing offensive coordinator Greg Roman is further proof that the Bills are a mess. To compound matters, they have to play a Cardinals team today that can score points and exploits match ups in the secondary. Needless to say,…
