No Need for 300, Just Give Tom Brady Five

Patriots Giants Super Bowl

THIS... IS... BOSTON!

NEPD Editor: James Christensen

In the battle of Thermopylae, made famous by the movie “300″, the Persian King Xerxes trotted out a seemingly never-ending procession of exotic warriors.

Perry Fewell, defensive coordinator for the Giants, has a similar array of weapons aimed at disrupting the Patriots passing attack.

The Patriots offensive line, just like the Spartan heroes on the silver screen, will need to hold out for as long as they can. Fortunately for New England, their blockers will need to be vigilant for only around three seconds, as opposed to three days.

Super Bowl Patriots Giants

Super Bowl. That's right. Super Bowl.

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

I’ve been concentrating so much on the “Draft” portion on this site recently, I’ve almost neglected the “NEPatriots” portion.

Well, that’s all going to change in the next few days because I am going to get myself and everyone else completely prepped for Super Bowl XLVI.

Today I’m going to break down the offensive positions for these two teams as explicitly as possible.

Patriots vs Bills: All Good Things…

Can you believe it’s already week 17? It seems like just yesterday we were all excited about last year’s defense with the addition of Leigh Bodden and Ty Warren coming back from injury. That didn’t go so well, but the season has so far.

A lot has changed since the last time the Bills and Patriots faced each other. The aforementioned Bodden actually started in that game at RCB. Some other interesting names that participated in that game: Brandon Spikes, Josh Barrett, Landon Cohen and Jermaine Cunningham.

There’s a lot of talk about Tom Brady’s shoulder injury and getting out of this game without any more major injuries, I’m more concerned about getting players back from injury in this game.

Here are some things I’m looking for in Sunday’s rematch against the Bills:

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Could this be the week we finally see Patrick Chung make his long awaited return?

With the Dolphins spending their Christmas Eve in Foxboro, the Patriots seem to be surging at the perfect time to make a playoff run.

Some things never cease to amaze me about the NFL. No. 1 on this list at times is talent evaluation. Seriously, how many people not named Mike or Kyle Shanahan thought the Redskins could be competitive in the NFC East with Sexy Rexy and Sexy… Beck-sy? I don’t see any theoretical hands raised.

So now the Redskins are exactly where all NFL fans thought they would be in early December and the Patriots get to play them to prep for the playoffs. This should not be a difficult game for the Patriots. I fully expect them to win, so I figured I might do something different for this week’s pre game column. I’m going to highlight some of the best and worst players on the Redskins that the Patriots might have to watch out for:
