New England Patriots (8-5)
Volume Seventeen
New England Patriots (8-5)
Hey Fellow Patriots Fans!!!!
Man what a nail biter that was! The end result was great but it was
not a comfortable game to watch as a Patriots fan. Yesterday the
Patriots went in to Seattle at Qwest Field and beat the Sea Hawks
(24-21) in a game that Seattle pretty much had in the bag and led up
to near the end of the fourth quarter. It was a victory that the
Patriots desperately needed. The victory puts New England in a three
way tie for first place in the AFC East with New York and Miami with
a record of (8-5). The Jets lost in San Francisco and Miami won in
Toronto against the Bills. Yesterday’s game featured the return of
linebackers Junior Seau and Rosevelt Colvin. Adalius Thomas was
officially placed on Injured Reserve to make room for signings. And
speaking of injuries, as if it wasn’t bad enough that Ty Warren and
Pierre Woods was out, Tedy Bruschi and Vince Wilfork went out of
yesterday’s game and did not return. Regardless of what the Patriots
final record is and where they finish in the standings, I think that
Bill Belichick definitely should be considered heavily for coach of
the year. There have been so many injuries that the team is almost
totally different. Hopefully the additions of Junior Seau and
Rosevelt Colvin can help a growingly depleted linebacker core.
