FLORIDA HAS THE ORANGES BUT BUFFALO'S GOT THE JUICE

WEEK THREE IS UPON US. THE PATS LOOK TO EXTEND THEIR STREAKS TODAY. ONE, CONSECUTIVE HOME WINS, 2, WINS AGAINST THE BILLS. TOM BRADY AND COMPANY GO UP AGAINST A YOUNG BUFFALO TEAM LED BY A BACK UP QB. THE PATS D CAN GET BACK ON TRACK HOPEFULLY GOING UP AGAINST QB FITZPATRICK. THE PATS D NEEDS TO BUILD UP SOME CONFIDENCE AND SOME COHESIVENESS. THIS YOUNG D NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY TOGETHER. THE PATS OFFENSE SHOULD BE IN REAL GOOD SHAPE WITH EVERYBODY PRETTY HEALTHY. THE O JUST NEEDS TO DO A BETTER JOB STAYING ON THE FIELD, CHEW UP SOME CLOCK, LET THE D GET SOME REST. THE SECOND THING THE O NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON IS PLAYING 4 QUARTERS OF FOOTBALL. THEY HAVE NOT PUT MANY POINTS ON THE SCOREBOARD IN THE SECOND HALF.

P.S. I ALMOST FORGOT.............. THE SHED26 SPORTS COMPLEX WILL NOW PRESENT ALL SPORTING EVENTS IN FULL HIGH DEFINITION. OH YEAH I FINALLY GOT THE HD BOX!!!!!!!!!!!

Patriots cook up buffalo chips

Sad news, Pats fans, maybe even worse than Welker's torn ligaments, the most versatile back in the league, and, arguably, the greatest third down converter in the history of the league, Kevin Faulk, appears to have a torn ACL. It's a sad day, a very sad day.

WHO WILL BE THE BEAST OF THE EAST?.......I PERSONALLY AM IN FAVOR OF THE PATS. I LIKE THE PATS 24-17. P.S. ARE YOU AS SICK OF HEARING ABOUT REVIS ISLAND AS I AM? GO GET 'EM RANDY !!!!!!!!!!

Menu: D&S Chicken Legs

That's right. Black rum marinated chicken legs grilled with honey pecans and spice rub. Mmmmm

"D"-LICIOUS

GAME ONE IS IN THE BOOKS WITH A WELL BALANCED "W" NEXT TO IT. TOM BRADY AND THE PATS MAN HANDLED THE BENGALS FOR A GOOD THREE QUARTERS. I MUST SAY I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING. A SHAKY PRESEASON AND A YOUNG DEFENSE MADE THE PATS LOOK A LITTLE INEXPERIENCED, BUT HOPEFULLY TODAY'S PLAY WILL STAND UP TO TIME. THE SEASON, AS IT LOOKS NOW, WILL BE VERY EXCITING. THE DEFENSE, WOW THE DEFENSE LOOKED SOLID FROM THE LINE PLAY ALL THE WAY TO THE SAFETY'S. THE OFFENSE'S SURPRISING RUNNING GAME AND NEW TIGHT ENDS WERE A SIGHT FOR SORE EYE'S. WELKER WAS WELKER AND IF BRADY AND MOSS CAN GET SOME BETTER TIMING ON THE DEEP ROUTE.... FORGET ABOUT IT.
THE JETS NEXT WEEK AT 4:15, SHOULD BE INTERESTING. PATS NEED A GOOD WEEK AT PRACTICE IF THE JETS ARE WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE. I HOPE WE WON'T NEED ANY JET HELICOPTERS. I'M OUT.

HEY FELLA'S ........... ITS ON!!!!!!!!!!

TIS THE SEASON

THE NFL KICKED OFF THE SEASON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE SAINTS AND THE VIKINGS. THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX KICKS OFF ITS SEASON SUNDAY AT 1:00. THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS, AKA OUR LOCAL 22, TAKE ON THE BENGALS. THE BENGALS COME TO TOWN WITH A SEEMINGLY STRONG OFFENSE AND AND OK DEFENSE. THE PATS, WELL WE ALL KNOW ABOUT OUR OFFENSE ITS OUR "D" THAT'S SUSPECT. THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE YOUTHFUL "D" IS 25. THE SECONDARY IS THE YOUNG AND FOR CAPTAIN MAYO HIS LINEBACKERS MAY BE YOUNGER. EXPERIENCE IS NOT AN ABUNDANT COMMODITY. MAYO AND WILFOLK WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL TRYING TO KEEP THESE YOUNGSTERS FOCUSED. BASICALLY, THE GAME PLAN MUST BE, THE OFFENSE SCORE A BUNCH AND THE DEFENSE LET UP JUST LESS THAN A BUNCH.
IN BELICHICK WE TRUST! IN THE SHED WE TRUST!!!!!!!!

Pheeeeewwwwww!!!!!!

That's all I have to say about Thursday! Dodged a bullet, and crowned royalty! Life is good!

Oh, and, today? Captains: Brady, Faulk, Wilfolk, Mayo. Congratulations! Team members whose dedication to the team never wavers. That's all there is to say.

Go Pats!

His coach told him today that he expects him to put on a show vs the AV Freshman on Thursday afternoon also at the voke. Coach Capone will limit his time in this game so he can also play time in the varsity game on Friday. Andrew is now as tall as Andy 6' 2" - 6' 3"

Game #1 Conflict of Interest

Maynard 6-7 grade team is home vs Groton-Dunstable at 1:30. I will be exceedingly late to the Shed. However, I will drop off food beforehand and claim my rightful seat aside #26.

Wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy Moss complained, before even one snap has been made in the 2010-2011 season, that while making $6,000,000 for this coming season, he hasn't received an offer for continuing to be a Patriot beyond this yet to be played season, and doesn't feel wanted. Of course, he didn't mention that Tom Brady hasn't been offered one yet either. But, you can't really blame him. After all he's "only" a 30 year old wide receiver and is "only" entering his 13th season as a pro. While nobody can question his numbers with the Pats, 48 games, 47 TD's, 3765 yds, 250 receptions, 15.1 yards/catch, and 78.4 yards/game, it must be pointed out that his attitude appears to have been good for the past three years - until now. I mean, really, the week before the opening game? How is that supposed to be good for the team? Does he not realize how this team works? NO ONE IS NOT EXPENDABLE. Attitude is critical inside and outside the locker room. Not feeling wanted? You're getting $6,000,000. How many places on this planet do you think you well get $6,000,000 for ANYTHING ELSE you can do? AND, you're a captain? Now is THAT leadership! One for one, and none for all! Go, Randy! When you started here, many people said you had changed, including me, and would be a team player. Go, Randy! But, some people never get it, maybe the Pats will live down to your expectations and let you do what you think they should let you do. Just go.

I NEED A BAND-AIDE

BECAUSE MY NAME IS DEREC BURGESS AND I'VE JUST BEEN CUT!

PRE-SEASON

REGRETFULLY THE SHED 26 SPORTS COMPLEX WILL NOT BE OPEN THIS EVENING. SOMETHING CAME UP UNEXPECTEDLY. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE ON OPENING DAY.

Pats write up from SI

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Pats wideout Wes Welker underwent surgery in February to repair the knee ligaments he tore near the end of the 2009 season.
AP
What the Patriots do best: Throw the ball.

The Patriots had the NFL's third-best passing attack in '09 (277 yards per game), and several factors suggest it should be even better than that this season -- if not up to its incredible standard from '07 (when New England gained 296 yards per game through the air, 25 more, on average, than any other team), then something close.

First, quarterback Tom Brady, who turned 33 in August, should by now have shaken off all of the latent rust he'd accrued after missing nearly all of the '08 season with a blown-out knee. Second, he now has more weapons than Randy Moss and Wes Welker (who appears to be at nearly full strength after his own knee injury, suffered during last season's Week 17) at his disposal, particularly in second-year wideout Julian Edelman and precociously skilled rookie tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Through the Patriots' first three preseason games, those three were all tied with Moss for the team lead with seven receptions.

What the Patriots need to improve: Rushing the passer.

Less promising so far in the preseason has been New England's ability to get to the quarterback. No Patriot has more than a single sack, and the team has just four, total. The loss of veteran defensive end Ty Warren has made the Patriots' front seven very thin and reliant on pressure from aging players like end Gerard Warren and outside linebacker Derrick Burgess, both 32. That means the Patriots might be in for many games similar to last Thursday's exhibition loss to the lowly Rams, in which they yielded 36 points and a combined 326 passing yards to rookie quarterback Sam Bradford and his no-name backups, Thaddeus Lewis and Keith Null. New England's offense will ensure that it will more often than not be on the right side of those high-scoring affairs, but it won't be easy.

What Patriot needs to step up: Outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain.

Banta-Cain, 30 and in the second year of his second tour in New England (after two years with the 49ers), is set to start opposite Burgess, and will need to prove that his stellar 2009 -- his 9.5 sacks led the Patriots -- was not a fluke for a player who hadn't registered more than 5.5 sacks in any of his previous six seasons. "It was something I've always felt capable of doing," he said. "Last year I really got an opportunity to be on the field more, and I was healthy -- previous years I had been either a backup or I had injuries. Last year was really my first complete season of playing, and I think that was the biggest key." Now Banta-Cain enters 2010 as perhaps the biggest key to the Patriots' defense.

Predicted record: 9-7.

The Patriots' embarrassing 33-14 wild-card loss to the Ravens, in which they yielded 234 yards on the ground, served to expose just how far removed the team was from its glory days, which effectively ran up until it shocking, undefeated season-killing Super Bowl loss to the Giants in February 2008. This year's team is very different from that 18-1 iteration -- just 18 players remain from that season (not counting Ty Warren or the holding-out guard Logan Mankins). While the defense features a fair amount of young talent (like rookie inside linebacker Brandon Spikes, the former Florida Gator) with the potential to quickly develop, it is the offense that will bear the brunt of the Patriots' load. The offense, however, is talented enough to lead New England to a potential wild-card berth.
