2013 Week 12 - Patriots Lose in OT Thriller to Chargers

New England runs into the buzz-saw that is San Diego. In this Season 2013 OT thriller, after giving up well over a hundred yards rushing to SD RB Ryan Mathews and trailing for most of the game by at least 10 points, Brady rallies his 10 and 1 Patriots squad (who have the NFL's 2012 WR of the year, Wes Welker, and starting RBs Vereen and Woodhead all out with injuries) to tie the game in the fourth; but Phillip Rivers proves his masterful command of the 9 and 2 San Diego offense under new head coach (and leading Coach of the Year vote-getter) Jevron Hill, by coming up clutch in OT with veteran wideout Malcom Floyd (as VJax was out due to injury). Patriots fall to 10 and 2 on the season, and San Diego (who was MIA the past 2 seasons under former HC Norv Turner) rises to the same record, to establish a 2-way tie for the league's best record so far this season.

[Season put on hold while cameras are reworked]

Citing a strange and unusual explanation for why games haven't progressed, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league's cameras are being re-worked to provide greater visual clarity and high definition to the fans.

[12-12-2011 - I am putting the franchise on hold until I get my HD PVR set up to record my games in HD! Should be on Wednesday evening.]

2013 Week 10 - Patriots Defeat Browns, But Lose Vereen, Woodhead to injuries

This game wasn't as close as the score suggests (and the score was 48-35!), as the Patriots gave up all 35 points in the third and fourth quarters (having gone into the half up 31-0). The key issue for the Patriots are the losses of their No. 1 & No. 2 RBs, Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead. In the third quarter, Vereen tore his left quadriceps, which will sideline him for 5 weeks. Woodhead, in the fourth quarter, suffered an abdominal tear that will sideline him for 4 weeks. The injuries could not have been at a worse time, as both RBs were having back-to-back breakout games in rushing yards per carry and touchdowns before suffering the injuries. Once-starting Stevan Ridley will be thrust back into the spotlight from the depths of the bench, and sources close to the team say that they are nearing a one-year deal with free agent RB Tashard Choice.

2013 Week 9 - Patriots blowout Fins, 41-16


After just barely defeating Baltimore, and then enjoying a very relaxing BYE during Week 8, New England hosted Miami in their Week 9, 2013 match-up, and the Patriots got off to a 14-0 start, and didn't look back, and finish with a blowout, 41-16. Brady only ended with 2 TDs, and 1 INT, but excellent running by RBs Shane Vereen (over 5 ypc) and Danny Woodhead (2 rushing TDs), coupled with fantastic special teams play (first TD of the game was WR/PR/KR Wes Welker's return), and a solid defensive effort (6 sacks, INT, FF and recovery for TD) helped propel the Pats. Patriots rise to 7-1.
