With news coming yesterday that the Albert Haynesworth resurgence was as big of a myth as it appeared, this week’s Pats Report examines Bill Belichick’s personnel hits and misses of the post-Super Bowl era (2008-2011).  Haynesworth is certainly towards the top of the failures list, coming in with big promise, as much as he was [...]

A decade ago, Drew Bledsoe went down in week two and a new era began in Foxboro. When Jerod Mayo sprained his MCL against San Diego in week two this season, sure enough, a key player emerged, and his name is Brandon Spikes. Although Spikes made a name for himself with a strong rookie year, [...]

Despite all of the remodeling done this offseason, the Patriots finished off the first quarter of the season much like they did last year with the league’s top ranked offense and worst ranked defense.  There have been stars on offense and duds on defense, yet the team remains 3-1 with the only loss being by [...]
