2015 Patriots Football

They need to do something about that OLine. They'll wear down at this rate. Otherwise, only injuries or an off-game by Brady will beat themselves.

It would be nice to have Bryan Stork back. And for Cannon to get over his toe.

Well, this is getting pretty insane.  Last part also makes you wonder where the league's priorities are concerning their beloved "integrity".

A day before the NFL dusted off #DeflateGate with a 59-page legal filing, the league looked for even more evidence of potential cheating by the Patriots.

Boomer Esiason of WFAN reported on his weekday radio show that the Jets asked that their locker room at Gillette Stadium be swept for bugs in advance of Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Contacted by PFT, the Jets declined comment regarding the situation. A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the Jets did not request that the locker room be swept for bugs; however, the source did not deny that the locker room was swept for bugs.

The Patriots likewise had no comment on the situation, and the NFL could not immediately be reached for comment.

Concerns regarding the presence of bugs in Gillette Stadium locker rooms aren’t new; it was one of the main points made last month in an article from Sports Illustrated regarding suspicions about the Patriots. No listening devices ever have been found in any locker rooms in the Patriots stadium.

As one source has explained it to PFT, the Patriots have become concerned that a team eventually will plant bugs on its own and claim that the Patriots put them there. This has prompted the Patriots to ask the league to certify before each game that the visiting locker room is clean before an opposing team enters. Per the source, the NFL has declined to do this.

Can either Stork or our current center play guard or tackle? We badly need some depth across the line

Then I guess the Pats will have to hire a couple independent groups to videotape and verify

That is the best piece that I've read this year. If other teams are so paranoid as to ask to have the locker room swept for bugs, we're clearly in their heads.

The Pats will have to start sweeping the locker room every time they go on the road and video tape it

Doesn't the combination of the various sources' statements - the room was swept for bugs, the Jets claim they didn't ask for that, the Patriots previously claimed they have asked for that but hadn't been accommodated - seem to indicate this was in response to what the Patriots asked for?

[kozlodoev]

In case you missed it, there was this last week. Pretty good stuff.

That New England-Denver game at the end of the month is shaping up to be one heckuva battle.

Was shocked at how well they contained Rodgers last night.

[rondohondo]

uh oh looks like Dion Lewis is done for the year , just pulled up lame clutching at knee .

That's a huge blow IMO

Did you hear any word that it was season-ending? I've haven't heard that yet. Let's hope not.

[PhoSita]

On Twitter there's some talk that Dion Lewis tore his ACL.

Hopefully it's not that bad.


How many injuries can the Patriots sustain and still keep going?  They've already lost half their offensive line.

They do have some depth at RB with Bolden and White.

Given how the Panthers are doing against the Packers, I'm starting to think it may have been more about the state of the Packers, who suddenly seem incapable of doing anything against quality defensive teams.

[PhoSita]

Pats are obviously in "kill the clock with a million Blount rushes" mode.
