    Way Under the Radar Patriots 2022 - OL Drew Desjarlais

    Watching highlight films of Offensive Linemen might not be a terrifically productive use of time, but, this morning, I was thinking about potential summer surprises on our roster and one of the more obscure guys has to be ex-CFL all-star Guard Drew Desjarlais who is listed as our 2nd string LG...

    Belichicodered Press Conference: 2021 OTA edition

    It's been a while since I did one of these things. The Belichicoder, (for those unfamiliar) is a patented device which can interpret the words of Bill Belichick as if he were really speaking the truth, needed a critical part replaced and due to Covid complications the factory just gave me...

    Could we beat this team?

    I was just wondering what you think would happen if the 2020 Pats played a team made up of the following players. I'm guessing that some of you will figure out why I chose the players below, but if you aren't sure, then please ask and I'll be glad to explain it. QB Tom Brady WRs Danny...

    Hindsight in 2020 -- Redoing Some Recent Pats Drafts

    There is an old saying that “hindsight is 20/20” – which basically means that it is easy to look back after the fact and know what the right thing to do was or at least way easier than knowing in advance. Nothing is a better example of that than the crapshoot that is the NFL draft, but.......I...

    Hawg73's half-baked attempt at 2019 Patriot Draft Board

    I know that excercises like this one are sketchy and possibly pointless, but for whatever reason every Spring I spend a few idle hours trying to familiarize myself with the Draft class for amusement and to get a handle on the new guys coming into the league. I used to take our exact slots and...

    A few Random Observations on young guys/bubble players

    I've had a chance to watch both preseason games and have a few thoughts about some of the guys that we don't usually talk about, so I thought I'd share them here, in no particular order of importance. DL * Adam Butler looks like a guy we might want to hang onto and develop. He's not the...

    What is BB REALLY Up To? Your Conspiracy Theories Welcomed.

    Ahem. I, along with virtually all interested observers, can't make much sense of the "game plan" we just witnessed vs. Miami with home field advantage on the line. Was he trying to get Steven Jackson going? Afraid to run an air attack with injuries and a shaky Oline? Why was he playing...

    Did Bill "tank" the Denver game?

    Before you get worked up, I'll explain what I mean by "tank" a bit later. For now, please just consider this: Postgame presser. Belichick starts out by complimenting his team for competing and fighting so hard. It was sincere, in my opinion. During the game we all got understandably...

    Belichoder rip-off??? You decide.

    So, this morning I had some time and went looking for a recent BB transcript to run through the Belichicoder and instead I ran across this piece from FoxSports' Sid Saraf which was posted on 7/29/15. So.....is this just a mere coincidence? I'm not sure. I'm considering my options.

    Rookie Impressions

    By the numbers we had 9 rookies make the 53-man roster -- of which 7 were draft picks and 2 UDFAs. In addition, 7th round pick Darryl Roberts was placed on IR along with UDFA A.J. Derby. A few thoughts on what I've noticed so far: * Malcom Brown -- Didn't set the world on fire in...

    Belichicodered Press Conference from 2015 OTAs: Deflategate Edition

    BB: Hello everybody. It’s been a little strange for me to have the focus on football this week, but I have to say that I’m completely amazed that none of you people gave me so much as a phone call to ask my opinion of Deflategate. I’m pretty sure that every person in America was asked about it...

    My Annual Patriots Mock Draft 2015

    I've done one of these every year since the Planet opened and here is this year's edition. As always, I welcome others' opinions whether they like my thoughts or think I'm way off base. It's a fun exercise and I've had a few hits on players over the years which is at least partial blind luck...

    Belichicodered Press Conference: Mid-Training Camp 2014 Edition

    The Belichicoder is a device I invented, patented and regularly polish to a glossy sheen which has the capability of taking the words of Bill Belichick and interpreting them as if he had told the truth. Enjoy. BB: Just another day here grinding through camp. Working on all three phases...

    Mallett Sucks: The Extended Version

    I suppose it could be summed up in just those two words "Mallett sucks" and I wouldn't get much of an argument, but for those of you that didn't get a chance to watch the game, I'll elaborate. After years of development and speculation, what we learned last night is that we have is a guy that...

    PBS Frontline: League of Denial (brain injuries)

    I just finished watching the current Frontline documentary and it was a devestating (and fascinating) piece of TV journalism that covered a topic which is of imperative importance to the sport. We've all watched Roger's moves and seen the recent class-action suit settlement on the topic, so...

    Annual Patriots Mock 2013: Special Belichicodered Edition

    Since that glorious time of yore when Bill Belichick rejected the New York Jets, grabbed the tiller in New England and freed Patriots fans forever from having to watch Bobby Grier mishandle the draft each April there have been many observations made as to Bill's tendencies and philosophies...

    I'm a fool to cry about bad calls. But....

    So the game hinged, basically, on one call. With the eyes of an NFL-crazed country focused on Bernard Pollard spearing Ridley with at least his 2nd helmet-to-helmet hit of the evening-- this time the biggest cheap shot artist in the history of the NFL struck paydirt with a dirty, filthy...
