San Francisco 49ers vs. New England Patriots 2012 – HD YouTube
If you can only enjoy Patriots victories then the Buttfumble game is probably your favorite one of 2012. But if you can handle a loss if it’s a great game then this one might be your favorite. It’s been a long time since there was a more up-and-down emotional roller coaster game for the Pats. Just such a buzz kill with the way they fell short after coming all the way back.
Let’s chat Pats nation! The last few weeks of Pats Q & A’s have been awesome, let’s keep it going with more great discussion.

2005 AFC Divisional playoff New England Patriots at Denver Broncos complete game (by dipsomaniac1976)
A little Friday Patriots viewing if you’re feeling up for the original Tom Brady/Bill Belichick playoff loss. In many ways I think this game was one of the initial sparks for this blog. It was after this loss that I realized Brady/Belichick only had a finite number of shots at another Lombardi. Winning Super Bowls brings people on the bandwagon, but losing when you know you have all the pieces to win brings out the obsession.
Hard to say the 2005 Patriots deserved to win a Super Bowl though. Along with 2009 and 2002, it made up the holy triumvirate of shitty Patriots seasons. Still think 2009 takes the cake, but 2005 was just a sloppy mess from the moment Chad Brown and Monty Beisel were our starting inside linebackers.

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: State of the Team: New England Patriots
Good breakdown from the always-interesting Andy Benoit.
Patriots 2013 Preseason Schedule
August 8-11 TBD at Philadelphia Eagles
Friday 8/16 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
August 22-25 TBD at Detroit Lions
August 29-30 TBD vs. New York Giants
Some good teams that prepare the Pats well for the start of the regular season. Not sure how much else you can analyze a preseason schedule, or how much anyone really cares, except for the unfortunate fans stuck paying full price for the tickets.
Will be interesting to see potential joint practices w/ Eagles, Buccaneers or Lions. BB ties w/ head coaches. NE does play TB in reg. season

It was a good week for the Patriots, locking up Sebastian Vollmer on a team-friendly deal, while also adding some receiver depth in Michael Jenkins. I expected that once Vollmer re-upped or left there’d be some other moves to quickly follow but that hasn’t happened yet. Still waiting on a potential Dwight Freeney or John Abraham move, but they’re biding their time at this point.
Otherwise it’s almost April which means we’ll be going into full draft mode with the unveiling of our Top 50 Patriots Prospects this week. I love the draft, but it’s certainly a relief once the picks are made and there are just a handful of players to analyze rather than hundreds.
Here’s the best of the week…

Usually it’s tough to pick a Patriots player of the week after a loss but this week it’s pretty easy. Brandon Spikes was a force all over the field on Sunday, with 7 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 2 QB hits, and a huge forced fumble that should’ve stolen an impossible victory for the Patriots. […]
