An Independent Patriots Blog
I’ll tell you what, me personally, I like to see a team like this. You get away from all the spread offenses for a little bit and actually get back to down and dirty football. That’s what they present. They present a physical team. They want to smash. They want to play smash-mouth football. They’re old school. That’s what they want to do. Once again, we’ll be challenged.

Patriots-Raiders 1976: The Original BS Call
I’m sure we’ll hear plenty about the Tuck Rule this week but let’s just take a moment and remember that it was this Roughing the Passer penalty that started it. The Tuck Rule was just football karma coming back around.
Although I will say if this happened today Sugar Bear Hamilton would probably be banned from the NFL for this hit.

Q: Different kind of test with the Patriots after the physical Jets?
McClain: This is just a finesse team. I mean, Tom Brady’s a smart guy, has many weapons around him, with his receivers as well as his tight ends. His tight ends are playing great right now.

Thanks for the help turning our sites to Oakland, Rolando!

Bruschi on Tap: Pats’ D must adjust to fast-break football
Good stuff as always here from Tedy and it makes you feel a little better. Unfortunately the only thing that will truly makes us all okay is not only beating the Raiders but stifling their offense.
The Patriots do have the talent on defense, but I’m going to give you two areas to focus on. Offenses will move the ball, that’s a league-wide issue, so focus on the red area and winning the turnover battle. If the Patriots are in the top half of the league in those two categories, this defense will be just fine.
