Problematic Pigskins

Sometimes your pigskin heroes aren't so heroic. But that's okay. After all, we're only rooting for laundry.

Puzzling Pigskins

Did the Patriots actually look better when they were losing to the Eagles and the Dolphins than they did beating the Jets?

Maybe. 

One thing's for sure. Losing to the Dolphins 24-17 looks a whole lot better today. Like 46 points better.

Pigskins, We Have A Problem

Is there a solution for every pigskin problem?

Everyone seems to think so. (Still waiting for that Larry Fitzgerald trade to happen? Yeah.) But it's a little bit like Apollo 13. You can't change the situation. You can only work with what's in the box. 

You can keep looking, but I don't think you're going to find Mike Evans in there.

Pigskin Fatalism

 They just feel like a team that will somehow find a way to 8-8-0 - coming all the way back from an 0-4-0 start - with a tiebreaker's chance at a wildcard spot, only to lose tragically in Game 17.

Pigskin Dreams of Brave Ulysses

The Patriots face a "must win" game in Week 2 with a decimated offensive line. 

Pigskin Hope

Yes, my pigskin heroes lost. And yes, they lost in the way I feared they would lose; with a stout defense keeping it close, betrayed in the end by an offense that just isn't good enough. 

And yet, I'm feeling pretty good this fine New England morning, even before that first cup of coffee hits.

Imminent Pigskins

Even the most optimistic of Pats fans are thinking, 9-8-0, baby! It's possible. Back in the playoffs! No, really. It could happen. Definitely doable. Hello? Is this on? Let's go! 

The Big Pet Store

“I’m telling you man, planet Earth is just one big pet store for the Greys.”

“You’re an idiot, Jimmy,” Eric said, with a little too much force. 

“Doesn’t make me wrong,” Jimmy said, oblivious to Eric’s tone.
