The Patriots held today's practice inside Gillette Stadium, with the players in shells (soft pads) and sweats. Jarvis Green (knee) and Tully Banta-Cain (groin) returned to the field, which meant that there were three players not present during the media access window: Fred Taylor, Stephen Neal and Rob Ninkovich.
This comes courtesy of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, which, on its website, asked this question of its readers regarding the undefeated Saints: There were some people (fools? idiots?) asking the same question about the Patriots in 2007. It's never good to lose a game. And who says that losing once, rather than not at all, gives a team a better chance of winning the biggest game of all -- the Super Bowl? It's never worse than when a team's only loss occurs in the Super Bowl, as was the case with the Patriots two years ago. But the Pats lost that game because they couldn't stop the Giants from driving 83 yards to the winning touchdown in the final minutes, not because "the pressure" got to them. Sometimes, I just shake my head and wonder what people possibly can be thinking. November 19

A lengthy list for the Pats... Did not participate For the Jets
The Sunday Night Football game has been the most-watched Sunday show every week so far this season, and the Colts' come from behind win against the Pats was no different: 22.4 million viewers tuned in to the game. It is the second straight week over 20 million viewers watched SNF, and the fifth time this season. New England-Indianapolis is second behind the Week 2 Giants-Cowboys NFC East showdown, which also served as the grand unveiling of Dallas' new stadium in terms of viewership this season -- that game drew 24.8 million viewers, making it the most-watched prime-time NFL game in a dozen years. |
