The Internet is a creative place, so I canât speak for the authenticity of this photo, but wouldnât it be hysterical if the Patriots got caught doing something this obvious? The Patriotsâ cheating scandal has players around the league rewinding past games in their heads. Hines Ward of the Steelers said he was sure the Patriots [...].

They had but one mandate: to get off the field. However, it proved easier said than done for the Patriots' defense in last night's shocking 17-14 loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

Of course, he conceded that it was his fault, but Bill Belichick couldn't get much work done the other day. Not with the line he had outside his office. Practice was over, the guys were free to go where they wanted, but many of them remained at Gillette Stadium. They wanted a word with Belichick, whose coaching decisions in last ...

The struggling New England Patriots looked nothing like the team that won the Super Bowl less than seven months ago. Their performance in Saturday night's 31-3 exhibition loss at Cincinnati was so bad that coach Bill Belichick wants to see a return to basics for a team that won its last 15 games last season.

It's all about the game this week. As the Patriots prepare for Saturday night's playoff test against the visiting Jaguars, it would be difficult to find anyone within the franchise who hasn't adopted that singular focus.

It all depends on the viewpoint. One view looks solely at the bottom line. The Patriots entered their regular-season finale against the Giants tied for the fewest points allowed in the NFL, then proceeded to surrender a season-high 35 - 28 coming on defense and 7 on special teams.

Patriots fans might have had two reasons to be upset watching the game against the Detroit Lions two weeks ago. Not only were the Patriots struggling to hang on, but Fox seemed to have rolled out its "D" team of broadcasters.

FOXBOROUGH - No, they're not invincible. But they definitely know what they're doing. Looking back, those first 10 Patriots games, with the exception, of course, of the Colts game, were a joke, a travesty, a mockery of football. It was fun, sure, and they certainly had us all swooning over the ridiculous numbers, whether it was Tom Brady's touchdown passes, ...

Patriots fans have come to expect the unexpected with the team's offensive attack. Some weeks it is a receiver-laden spread formation with a focus on passing. Other weeks it is multiple tight ends and a power running approach. Sometimes the change is on a play-to-play basis.
