Tom Brady’s Helmets: A Retrospective

May 2, 2018 by Mike Dussault

Yes, this was the worst loss of his career, but damn did he look good running out of the tunnel.

With all the fluff out there about drafting quarterbacks, bad draft choices and discontent between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, it’s time to drop some hard-hitting journalism here on the blog. Let’s get serious and talk about how this is sadly the last year Tom Brady can wear his helmet of choice.

One of the things that instantly made me like Brady was that he just had the perfect quarterback look. Yes, 12 is the number for signal-callers, but it was Brady’s low-rising helmet that put him on another level. At that point, Peyton Manning had already set the NFL world on fire, but if it came down to simple looks on the field, I was already taking Brady before he had even started a game.

But it wasn’t like Brady jumped right into the perfected look that he’s now known for and he even experimented with other helmets for a few games in 2011 and 2012.

Let’s take an important and possibly ground-breaking look back at Brady’s helmet-look over the course of his career and figure out what he might switch to in 2019.

Patriots Super Bowl First Quarters vs. Fourth Quarters

January 25, 2018 by Mike Dussault

Mike Reiss brought up one of the Patriots most impossible and infamous stats to Bill Belichick yesterday, that the Patriots had yet to score a point in the first quarter of any of their seven Super Bowl appearances. Belichick scoffed even though the players said last year he was all over them about getting off to a fast start against the Falcons, which of course did not happen.

For as remarkable as the Patriots’ dominance since the early 2000s has been to never have scored a point out of the gate is just as remarkable and it’s hard to even guess why. The team has run the gamut from a defense-first squad to an unstoppable offensive one, but it never made a difference. Here are the Pats’ overall stats from Super Bowl first quarters:

Coffin Corner: What Will This Year’s Shocking Super Bowl Narrative Be?

January 23, 2018 by James Conway

As we all know, with the extra week before the Super Bowl there are a lot of pages that need to be viewed. A lot air time that needs to be shouted into. A lot of ‘Tomato Cans’ (read Straw Men) that Need Crushing. That usually means we get an insane, regurgitated, ALL CAPS version of the season’s scandals (unless they involve Peyton Manning’s wife chewing HGH like Pez). But this year, I think we will see something decidedly different. Before we look forward, let’s reflect on the media narratives going into the Patriots previous eight appearances:

The 1976 Patriots were one of the best teams to not win a Super Bowl. Here they are handing the Raiders their only loss of the season. Of course, it was the Raiders that would end the Patriots’ season thanks to a bogus roughing the passer penalty in the playoffs. Still, you can’t beat this old footage.

Cowboys vs. Patriots 1987 Lowlights

Found out from my Dad that this was a game we went to. I can see why I have no recollection of it now. But who doesn’t love Grogan neckroll in its prime and a young Chris Berman saying “he could go all the way” before it was a cliche?

Who have the Patriots missed most?

The New England Patriots’ injuries in 2013 have been well-documented, but three stand out far above the rest.  Rob Gronkowski, Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo were to be integral parts of the Patriots’ plans this season, but each would find themselves playing less than seven full games and eventually on IR. The Patriots have clearly […]
