Football Outsiders: Patriots #3 Overall DVOA

Football Outsiders: Patriots #3 Overall DVOA

The Patriots are again ranked third this week in DVOA. They are 2nd in offense, 27th in defense and 5th in special teams. Their defensive DVOA is slowly starting to creep up the rankings which is a good sign. They’re actually a lot closer to the middle of the pack than they are to last place, so don’t let the 27th ranked defense fool you too much.

Patriots – Vikings Flashback Highlight

Patriots – Vikings Flashback Highlight

To kick off Vikings week we’d like to share what is probably Chad Jackson’s greatest highlight as a Patriot, which yes, I realize isn’t saying much. But still, this was a pretty sweet touchdown scramble and made us believe, for maybe just one play, that Jackson might turn out to be a player. He didn’t.

Sifting through some of these highlights from 2006 reminded me how it was one of the first times we really saw the Patriots go hard core spread offense. Of course it was surprising given that their receiver corps consisted of aging Troy Brown, soon-to-be bust Chad Jackson, Reche “One Season” Caldwell, and the infamous Doug Gabriel. At this point Jabar Gaffney was still on the periphery (if he was even on the team yet).

Anyway, this game was the first sign of what was to come in 2007, but clearly they needed Moss, Welker and Stallworth before going spread full time.

NFLN Playbook Review: Pats vs. Chargers

This is mostly a “wow the Chargers make stupid mistakes” edition of playbook, opposed to a “hey the Patriots are actually pretty good”. Of course the only Patriots-centric thing they brought up was the 4th and 1 stop. Glad that will be dead and buried by tomorrow.

Favorite part had to be Solomon Wilcots not even attempting to say “Leominster” instead choosing to identify “MA” as Maine on the viewer question. Great job, Solly.

Patriots History Tuesdays: 1988 Patriots

In honor of the throwbacks this weekend here’s a nice recap of the 1988 Patriots who were pretty unmemorable. But this was the height of the Steve Grogan neck roll era. An era that I saw more than a few games at the old stadium. So it will always be special. This was just as the night was growing darkest for the Patriots franchise, just before Mr. Robert Kraft came to town and turned the franchise into one of the best.
