New England Patriots (9-5)
New England Patriots (9-5)
Volume Eighteen
Hey Fellow Patriots Fans!!!!
Well that was a game that the Patriots had to have. The Patriots had
the 4:15 start time and were able to see both the New York Jets and
Miami Dolphins both win their games. The Patriots went on to beat the
Oakland Raiders in the black hole by a final score of (49-26) to keep
pace with Miami and New York. The Patriots are tied atop the AFC East
at (9-5). The problem the Patriots face is that both Miami and New
York hold tie breakers over the Patriots so if either New York or
Miami wins their final two games, they would win the AFC East crown.
As for the wild card, the Baltimore Ravens lost yesterday to the
Steelers and they are now (9-5) but still have the tie breaker over
the Patriots and Dolphins who are still technically behind the Jets in
the division. So the Patriots could end up going (11-5) and not make
the playoffs. That would be a crappy scenario. Let’s all hope that
Miami and New York loose next Sunday! Here is an interesting stat,
with the loss yesterday, the Oakland Raiders have become the first
team in the National Football League to loose at least 11 games for 6
consecutive seasons. The snow bowl game that the Patriots won in Over
Time (Yes the tuck rule game) sent the Patriots to a dynasty and the
Raiders to the bottom of the league.

Game Notes
Ty Warren started yesterday after missing time with an injury to his
thigh. The Patriots have 44 sacks on the season after picking up 2
more yesterday. Randy Moss and Lamont Jordan returned to face their
former teams for the first time and both had fantastic days. Gary
Guyton would leave with an injury and be replaced by Junior Seau. Wes
Welker recorded his 100th catch of the season yesterday as he caught a
13 yard touch down pass from Matt Cassel. Matt Light would also leave
with a shoulder injury and he would be replaced by Mark LeVoir. Bill
Belichick got his 100th win with the Patriots yesterday..
