Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Tom Brady leaps over the goaline for the game-winning touchdown

Patriots Score At the End to Avoid Scare vs. Oakland

We got Patriots regular season football two weeks ago, now we have Gillette Stadium regular season football. The Patriots have been excellent in home openers since 2001, posting an 11-2 record. This week versus a seemingly inferior Oakland Raiders team the Pats hoped to get another comfortable win. It could have been that way, but Tom Brady likes his game-winners too much.

The Raiders would open up on offense and not find much success, having to punt. The Patriots would get the ball and continue their offensive success from the previous week. They marched down the field easily and Tom Brady threw a touchdown to Danny Amendola, which puts Brady past Drew Brees on the all-time passing touchdown list into 4th place. Thanks to the tackling of Jerod Mayo, the Patriots defense was able to be very successful today in stopping the run. The Patriots would soon get the ball back but have to settle for a field goal. Patriots lead after 1, 10-0.

The Patriots had the ball to start the second, and again they would have to settle for a field goal, pushing their lead to 13. Rookie quarterback Derek Carr and the Raiders would then find some offensive success, and end up driving down for the touchdown. The Patriots offense again had to settle for a field goal attempt, as Coach Masters let Gostkowski kick a 60 yarder for the second straight week. Gostkowski had the wind advantage, but he left it short as it bounced off the crossbar for his first miss of the 2014 season. The Raiders would have great field position, but when they attempted a 51 yard field goal with Janikowski, he pulled it just a bit and it missed. The Patriots offense would have to settle for one more field goal in the half. Patriots lead at halftime, 16-7.

The 3rd quarter was quite uneventful as both defenses played well. The Patriots would accumulate enough success one drive to get into field goal range and kick a field goal to extend their lead. Patriots lead after 3, 19-7.

The Patriots would not start out the 4th quarter very well. Tom Brady would throw his first interception of the year to DJ Hayden, who would return the pick for a touchdown to tighten the lead. When the Patriots got the ball back, the first pass Brady would throw would be intercepted by Carlos Rogers. This gave the Raiders offense great field position, but they weren't able to capitalize on it. They settled for the Janikowski field goal and cut the lead to 2 points. Brady and the Pats returned to the field to try to put the game out of reach, but they were unable to do so. The Raiders would get the ball back, and Derek Carr would easily march the offense down the field. Darren McFadden would get the handoff for the touchdown to give the Raiders a 24-19 lead with just under 3 minutes to go.

This Patriots offense had not scored a touchdown since the 1st quarter, but they would have to score here if they wanted to win. The drive looked effortless, and it was hard to believe that this was the same offense that had been kicking field goal after field goal all game. A few nice runs by Vereen and some great passes from Brady over the middle set the Patriots up in the redzone. The Patriots would face a 3rd down and goal at the 1 yardline. Coach Masters called the Brady Leap play, and it worked to perfection. Tom Brady leaped over the goaline to give the Patriots the lead with around 35 seconds left. The 2-point-conversion was successful to Gronkowski, so the Patriots took the 3 point lead. Derek Carr and the offense had 35 seconds and 3 timeouts to get around 35-40 yards so Janikowski could try and send it to overtime, but the Patriots defense never allowed them to get a first down. They stopped the offense on 4 straight plays for the Patriots to win 27-24.

Analysis

The Patriots had a rough day on offense as they repeatedly had to settle for field goals. Rob Gronkowski was covered very well all game long, as he only totaled 3 catches. The run game was good, and it can be questioned why the Patriots didn't run more considering their success and the fact that both starting defensive tackles for the Raiders were out. The defense had a very strong game against both the pass and run, but the one thing this defense needs to start doing is forcing turnovers. They haven't done that all year and New England is -4 in turnover differential. My vote for player of the game goes to Jerod Mayo as he was a force against the run, and was a big reason for the Patriots' defensive success. The New England Patriots are 3-0, and will be on the road next week for Monday Night Football in Kansas City.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Roman Harper Has an Abdominal Tear

Roman Harper exited in the 4th quarter of week 3's game vs. the Oakland Raiders. We have now learned that the injury he sustained was an abdominal tear, similar to the one Jimmy Garoppolo has. Harper's is not believed to be as severe, as he is only expected to miss 2 weeks. His expected return is the week 6 game at Buffalo.

Harper has only been a Patriot for 2 weeks, as he was picked up after the release of receiver Brian Tyms. In 2 starts, he has totaled 11 tackles, which is 4th on the team.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Ups and Downs - 2014 Week 3

Ups

Tom Brady: He didn't have the best game, but he was money late in the fourth quarter. He also passed 50,000 yards passing in a career, which is an amazing accomplishment.

Stevan Ridley: He had another good day on the ground with 16 carries for 87 yards. He probably didn't get used enough, and if he had, we might not have had the close finish we got.

Jerod Mayo: He was a force against the run, totaling 11 tackles.

Roman Harper: Before the injury, he was making big contributions to the run defense, totaling 7 tackles in his second game as a Patriot.

Downs

Rob Ninkovich: He had a sack, but that was literally the only play he had pressure. He disappeared on most plays entirely.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Danny Amendola catches a Hail Mary pass with one hand to end the first half

Patriots use Defense, 2nd Half Offense to get win in Arrowhead

We had a primetime, Monday Night Football match-up featuring two of the better teams in the National Football League in possibly the most hostile environment in the league. The Patriots had top 5 offenses and defenses, while the Chiefs boasted the number 1 defense.

The Chiefs received the ball to start the game. They completely had their way with the Patriots defense this first drive. Every run got solid yardage, and Alex Smith kept finding open guys off quick throws. It would eventually be 3rd and goal on the 7 when Alex Smith scrambled for a 7 yard touchdown run to get the game's first score. The Patriots would then struggle to get anything going on offense. Chiefs lead after 1, 7-0.

Defensive dominance by both teams was common in the 2nd quarter. Alex Smith and the offense could not recapture the success they had on the first drive, and Tom Brady and the Patriots struggled as well. Near the end of the half, Brady and the Patriots, Brady and the Patriots had a great drive going that they got to the 1 yard line. On a pass intended for Rob Gronkowski, Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston made an incredible play to get the interception. The Chiefs wouldn't be able to string offensive success of this play, having to punt it away with around 40 seconds left. The Patriots offense wouldn't do much, moving just a few yards to the Chiefs 46. On the second Hail Mary attempt, and the play of the half, Brady got the throw off and Danny Amendola reached up for the ball to make the unbelievable one-handed catch on the Hail Mary play. The Patriots tied up the game to end the half, 7-7.

The Patriots found offensive success early in third quarter, putting together a scoring drive that ended in a 7 yard connection between Brady and LaFell for the touchdown. Kansas City would scrap together a field goal to cut the lead to 4 points. New England would strike back and put together a fast touchdown drive to extend their leave. Brady found Aaron Dobson open 31 yards down the seam for his 3rd touchdown. The 3rd quarter would end with the Patriots up 21-10.

Kansas City would put together a solid drive to start the fourth, but they would come up short in the redzone and have to settle for a 30 yard field goal. The rest of the quarter would mostly be defensive dominated by both teams. Nearing the 2 minute drill, the Patriots would creep into field range, where Stephen Gostkowski would kick a 49 yard field goal. Down by 11 points, the Chiefs knew they had to hurry up and begin scoring. They started out their drive well, but eventually were overpowered by the New England defense and were stopped on fourth down. The Patriots would use their next drive to evaporate the remaining Chiefs timeouts and run out as much clock as possible. With 16 seconds remaining, Stephen Gostkowski nailed a 53 yard field goal to extend the New England lead to 14. The Chiefs failed to make anything of the little time they had left. Patriots win 27-13.

Analysis

I was very impressed with the play of the Patriots defense. They held a solid offense to just 1 touchdown. I felt that Jamaal Charles, Travis Kelce, and Knile Davis would have their way, but only Jamaal Charles had an impact. The offense had a tough first half, but they built off the Hail Mary play and had a nice offensive 2nd half.

I predicted this game as a loss before the season because of the primetime Arrowhead crowd, and Kansas City's great defense. I defiantly wasn't surprised this Patriots team won since they had already shown they can win in the most bleak of situations (see Week 1 - @Miami).

The Patriots will host the 3-0 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football next week.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Ups and Downs - 2014 Week 4

Ups

Jerod Mayo: He was a dominant force this week against the run. He totaled 14 tackles and was a big part in Jamaal Charles' below average day on the ground.

Downs

Stevan Ridley: After two consecutive solid games, he struggled to get anything going on the ground against Kansas City's great run defense.

Tommy Kelly: He hasn't played well at all this year. He hasn't made that many tackles and only got 1 this week.

Rob Ninkovich: Again, he wasn't able to get any pressure or make an impact in the running game. Dominique Easley could possibly replace him soon.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Aaron Dobson celebrates as finishes a 73 yard touchdown reception

Brady, LaFell, Revis Lead Pats to Dominating Win Over Cincinnati

Early in the season, we had a rare primetime match-up between two unbeaten teams, the 3-0 Cincinnati Bengals and the 4-0 New England Patriots. Last season, the Patriots were 4-0 and had to play Cincinnati for their 5th game. That game was a low-scoring Bengals win. This game was the complete opposite.

The New England Patriots would receive the ball to start the game. Brady gets things moving fast and gets the offense into Bengal territory. He would target Gronkowski on a deep crosser, but he would be hit as he throws, taking off a lot velocity. The floating pass would be picked off by Adam "Pacman" Jones. Cincinnati would take over and easily march right down the field. Andy Dalton would find his fullback, Erik Lorig, wide open for a 1 yard touchdown to give the Bengals the first lead. Patriots wouldn't be able to match, but they had a decent drive to get a field goal. Bengals lead after 1, 7-3.

The Bengals began another promising drive, but they were cut short of the endzone as Darrelle Revis makes a fantastic interception to flip possession. Brady would waste no time. He would find Brandon LaFell with a step in man coverage on a shallow post. LaFell would catch it and break free, running all the way for an 86 yard touchdown, giving the Pats the lead. The Bengals would get the ball back, and again Andy Dalton would throw an interception to Darrelle Revis, who this time returned it for a touchdown. With the ball back in Dalton's hands, he would find Revis yet again who would run it for a 40 yard touchdown to extend the lead for the Pats. The next Bengals drive didn't have an interception, but they would be stopped and punt it away. With the ball back in Brady's hands, he would convert a few first downs to move the ball closer to midfield. He would then find Brandon LaFell running wide open down field, and he threw a 57 yard strike for the touchdown. The Bengals, now with a 24 point deficit, would get a few plays together to move to midfield. Dalton would then fire deep but be intercepted by Logan Ryan at the 7. With time running out in the half, Brady would connect with Gronkowski for 20 yards. The next play, Brady would find Aaron Dobson deep for a 73 yard touchdown. Patriots lead at halftime, 38-7.

The Bengals would be stopped again to start the 2nd half. Brady and the offense would take a long, steady drive down the field until they faced 3rd and goal at the 12. Brady would step up and fire it to Rob Gronkowski for his first touchdown catch for the season. The Patriots would lead after 3, 45-7.

Brady, Gronk, LaFell, and Edelman would be subbed out for the fourth quarter. The Patriots defense would continue to play well, getting it back for the offense. Mallett and Ridley would lead the team down the field to get a Stevan Ridley 1 yard touchdown run. With the ball back in Bengals possession, Dalton would find a man, but Patrick Chung would force and recover a fumble with a big hit. The Patriots offense would take some more time off the clock and get a few yards before having Gostkowski kick a 29 yard field goal. Andy Dalton would lead the Bengals offense easily down the field. Their drive ended with about 1 minute left when Dalton found Cobi Hamilton for a 5 yard touchdown connection. The Patriots would get the ball back and run out the clock. Patriots win 55-14.

Analysis

The offense wasn't bad the first 4 weeks, but it never seemed like it was clicking. It definitely clicked this week. Gronk couldn't be covered, LaFell was running free everywhere, and Brady's deep ball was on point. The running game didn't have much of an impact until the second half, when it was decent. The Patriots offense definitely had a great game, but you can credit some of their success to Cincinnati's inability to cover.

The defense was incredible. The only allowed two touchdown drives to start and end the game. In between was complete dominance and 5 forced turnovers. Darrelle Revis would run back 2 interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive drives.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Ups and Downs - 2014 Week 5

Ups

Tom Brady: Who said his deep ball was gone again? It turns out he just needed somebody deep to throw it to. This week it was Brandon LaFell and Aaron Dobson on his one play. Brady would throw for 433 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Brandon LaFell: He could not be covered deep, as he totaled 4 catches for 189 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Rob Gronkowski: He was Brady's primary target, totaling 8 catches for 123 yards and his 1st touchdown of 2014.

Dont'a Hightower: He lived in the backfield as he totaled 7 total tackles, 4 for a loss, and a sack.

Patrick Chung: In two games filling in for Roman Harper, he has totaled 12 tackles and this week he forced and recovered a fumble.

Darrelle Revis: He was in shutdown mode. 3 picks with 2 touchdowns doesn't hurt either.

Downs

Julian Edelman: In a game, where the Patriots mostly focused on deep passing, Edelman disappeared. He only had 1 catch for 11 eleven yards.

Offensive Line (Mostly Bryan Stork): The Entire o-line had a bad game as Brady didn't have a lot of time to throw. They caused the interception, and on a few other occasions, Brady would have guys wide open deep and not be able to get the throw off. Stork had an especially bad game, being credited with 3 sacks allowed.

Tommy Kelly: He didn't have a big impact again, only totaling 1 tackle.

Dominique Easley: In his first, career start, he was nowhere to be found, as he didn't even register on the stat sheet.

Brandon Browner: He struggled a bit in man-coverage, getting beat quite a few times.

Re: The New England Patriots: The Masters Era (M15)

Bills corner Nickell Robey runs into the endzone after a 22 yard interception return

Patriots Comeback Attempt Collapses at End. Manuel, Jackson Lead Bills to Victory

Since 2001, the Bills-Patriots rivalry has been completely one-sided, very similar to how the Browns-Steelers rivalry has been. Since 2001, the Bills only captured wins against New England in 2003 and 2011. Add 2014 to that now.

The Patriots would receive the ball first, and they continued their offensive success from Week 5, putting together a solid drive that included a 41 yard fade pass to Brandon LaFell. The drive ended when Stevan Ridley ran in a 5 yard touchdown to put the Pats up. The Bills would quickly answer back by putting together a quick touchdown drive that included a 45 yard run by Fred Jackson, who would have a monster game. CJ Spiller would catch an 8 yard touchdown from EJ Manuel to finish the drive. The Pats would begin to struggle on offense and have to punt it away. The Bills would end the quarter by beginning a promising drive. Game tied after 1, 7-7.

The Bills would turn that promising drive into a touchdown. EJ Manuel would find Mike Williams open down the seam after a busted coverage by the Patriots. It would be a 42 yard touchdown connection to put the Bills up by a touchdown. The Pats would have to punt it away again, and the Bills would take advantage of the opportunity to go up by 2 scores. It was a solid drive that seemed to take forever. Finally, Fred Jackson would take it in for the 1 yard touchdown. The Pats would have around 1:40 to do something, but they weren't able to build anything up. Bills lead at halftime, 21-7.

The Patriots would finally be able to stop the Bills to start the second half. Up to this point, Fred Jackson was running where he pleased, and EJ Manuel was finding open man after open man. The Patriots would capitalize, they put together a nice touchdown drive where Shane Vereen would run in a 1 yard touchdown. The Bills would then continue their success on offense and put together some plays to get to the edge of field goal range, where they are stopped. Dan Carpenter would then come out and kick a 53 yard field goal into the wind to give the Bills a 10 point lead. Bills lead after 3, 24-14.

The Patriots would come out in the fourth quarter and drive right down the field. Tom Brady would throw a 1 yard touchdown to Joseph Fauria, Fauria's first of the year. With the lead at 3, the Bills would put together a very solid drive, but once they got into the redzone, the Patriots defense stepped up and made the stop. After the Bills field goal, the Patriots were just down 6 with around 5 minutes to go. On one of his first throws of the drive, Tom Brady would look for Julian Edelman, but it would be picked off by safety Aaron Williams. The Bills would turn that into a field goal to take a 9 point lead with less than 2 minutes to go. On the first play of the Patriots next drive, Brady would look for Gronkowski, but Gronk would fall down and Nick Robey would be there for the interception and run it back for a touchdown. The 2-point conversion was good which ended the game. Bills win 38-21.

Analysis

After a great week offensively, the Patriots were just average again. The offensive line was horrendous. Brady had no time to throw, which accounts for most of his first half struggles, but didn't have anything to do with the interceptions. Receivers struggled to get open, and some made some key drops. This offense has to figure themselves out fast.

The defense was abysmal. Fred Jackson ran all over them, all day, EJ Manuel had no trouble as receivers were open everywhere for, and Mike Williams was dominating Logan Ryan. The only positive things were that they played better in the second half, and Darrelle Revis shutdown Sammy Watkins.

The Patriots will have a short week, as they will host the New York Jets for Thursday Night Football.
