Here’s a little audio slideshow about the Patriots-Raiders Snow Bowl that I participated in for NESN.com, along with some other Patriots and Raiders bloggers.
Fun trip down memory lane, especially as a fan.
I know, that’s more just because I think they’ll be the ones to survive the NFC death match. I’d rather play the 49ers or Seahawks if it was up to me. But yes, Pack vs. our pass defense would be a little scary for sure, but I do think that would be an amazing matchup and game.
This is the road I want/think will come.
AFCDG – Texans
AFCCG – @ Broncos
SB – Packers
Great Brady and Gronk shot! It almost makes a Friday night before a no-Patriots-football weekend tolerable.

Three-point stance: Pats at the bye – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Interesting quote below but let’s remember Talib hasn’t played all that much in the last two games. I think his addition has enabled them to do some new things, but I wouldn’t say he and Dennard have been the defensive saviors. What I don’t get is why they can’t be this aggressive from the get-go?
New England’s aggressive defensive play calling has paid off. Week 17’s win against Miami marked New England’s fourth straight game with an interception using added pressure. Since Aqib Talib joined the Patriots in Week 11, they have sent five or more pass rushers on 35.1 percent of dropbacks. That number has jumped from 15.0 percent over the first nine weeks of the season, the most conservative number in the league. When healthy, Talib and rookie Alfonzo Dennard have provided quality cornerback play and enabled New England to commit extra pass rushers. Since the Talib addition, the Patriots have allowed opposing quarterbacks a 51.1 completion percentage, three touchdowns and five interceptions with at least five rushers (73.6 completion percentage, four touchdowns and no interceptions in first nine games).
I think Coach [Bill Belichick] said it best this morning,” Brady told reporters on Wednesday. “He said, ‘You make one mistake in this type of game and that’s your season.’ It’s no more, ‘I’ll get it figured out next week and it’s something we have to learn from and move on from.’ No, it’s your season. That’s the kind of urgency you have in practice and certainly when we play here a week from Sunday.

Tape Never Lies: Difficulties defending Patriots’ Gronk & Hernando Another great article from Alen Dumonjic about just how effective Gronk and Hernando are. The truth is that while it hurts to lose Hernando for however long, losing Gronk would have a far greater effect on the offense. He’s really the hub of what they do, […]
