An Independent Patriots Blog
I don’t know what it’s going to take but we really need to re-sign Logan Mankins this off-season. The amount of praise that has been heaped on him since his return, especially from BB himself has been notable. I can’t imagine that’s not on purpose.
I don’t expect anything to get done before the end of the season, and I’m guessing Mankins is going to want to at least test the waters, but it’s pretty clear the Patriots are well aware of his value to the franchise.
Chicago Sun Times: Good Belichick – Martz Article
Pretty safe to assume it’s going to be bombs away for the Bears offense on Sunday. Or as BB said before facing the Martz-led Lions offense in 2006 “they’re probably loosening up (the quarterback’s) arm now”.
And now a quick reset on all things Patriots I do or don’t care about…
– DON’T CARE if Tom Brady wins the NFL MVP this year.
– DON’T CARE if any Patriots make it to the Pro Bowl.
– DO CARE that injuries are starting to mount… Wilhite, Wright, Pryor have all missed significant time. Spikes and Chung missed today’s practice. Pats need to get healthy on defense.
– DON’T CARE about explanations for why Peyton Manning has sucked lately. I still think they’ll win the AFC South and would prefer not to have to play them again.
– DON’T CARE where the Patriots are ranked in any power rankings.
– DON’T CARE who does or doesn’t pick the Patriots as Super Bowl favorites.
– DO CARE about continuing to improve, especially on defense.
– DON’T CARE about the “rookie wall”.
– DO CARE about the challenge the Chicago Bears present, but I think the Patriots will win.
– DON’T CARE that the Jets will “remember” the beatdown they received Monday night. Of course you’ll remember it, and if we play you again the result will be the same.
– DO CARE about winning the Super Bowl and any/everything that it will take to get there. If it doesn’t directly correspond to that I DON’T CARE.
Not even Kristin Cavallari can wipe that face off Jay Cutler’s head…

Thanks to Kellie (aka @NEGrl) for capturing this video from Inside the NFL last night. I remember this play pretty clearly and it was hard to see why Cunningham missed this sack. But now we can see why. Sancheesy pulled him down by the facemask….
Can we send this to the league office?

The quality of the footage isn’t that great but the first two minutes of this video gave me chills. Seeing the highlight of the first three quarters of the 2010 season made me realize we are yet again seeing something special. So turn your speakers up and squint a little bit and you’ll be more than ready for Sunday to get here.
Don’t ask what happens for the last four minutes of the video, let’s just say our boy isn’t exactly bringing the energy. But he’s clearly a Pats fan so I ain’t gonna give him too much crap. Especially since the start of this video rocks.
