7-4 winning the first seven from 1971-1996 and losing the last four meetings in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. Despite the limited history, the Cowboys and Patriots have many player and coaching connections: 1.Drew Bledsoe- Bledsoe put his name on the map by leading the New England Patriots from 1993-2001. After a successful career with the Patriots, he was traded to the Buffalo Bills, but was release after two seasons and signed with the Dallas Cowboys and was there from 2005-2006. In 2005, he…
The Carolina Panthers are enjoying their bye week in the best position possible at 4-0. The last time this team was undefeated was 2003; when we made it to the Super Bowl I'd say that is good karma. Many around the league have called us “the worst undefeated team due to the lack of competition we faced early in the year. My response to that is we don't make the schedule and the reality is in any sport anyone can win on any day. I will echo head coach Ron Rivera's sentiments when he said we are…
Are the Falcons overrated? Entering the 2015 season, the Falcons fans had lofty expectancies for the team to go on to the Super Bowl. However, those expectancies were impractical, considering some of the major unsorted complications. When they had only 6 regular season matches left, Atlanta was at 6-4, a record entirely inconsistent with very naïve expectancies. A precise examination of the Falcons’ record last season reveals how overrated they were. The team’s susceptibilities were really…
The once feared offense of the NFL North now seems to have a Cutler-esque feel. That’s a scary proposition considering all the years Packers fans spent basking in the guaranteed two interceptions a game tossed by the Bears’ starter. So what’s the deal with No. 12? Could it be that the Green Bay receivers just aren’t open? Many a color analyst noted during 2015 Packers games that the receivers just couldn’t separate from the opposition’s secondary. This was partly due to the fact…
First, I helped prepare dinner and snacks before the Super Bowl. We had a variety of food from pigs in blankets to guacamole to barbecue chicken wings, some of the classic Super Bowl recipes. I watched the beginning of the game and the halftime show. They called to the field some of the MVPs from past Super Bowl winning teams. Then, Joe Montana flipped the coin and the Panthers chose tails and they won. The funniest commercial, in my opinion, was the T-Mobile commercial with Steve Harvey.…
The Packers are the best team in NFL History. Also, the Packers have been for almost 100 years now. They have the most history to them and one of the most historic stadiums in the NFL. They also have a ton of great people and great games under their belt. Thats pretty amazing. The Packers also have one amazing playmaker that will go down as one of the best players in history. The Green Bay Packers have a lot of history to them and their stadium. The Packers have the most championships in NFL…
To describe a human being, you would have to pick many qualities in order to truly paint a solid picture of a person. You can describe them and the subject might say “yes that sounds like me” but the reality is that we probably missed something. This is a really tough situation to be in and you could either insult someone because you missed something about them or they could think you do not really know them. Now imagine having to do it on yourself. You will read about how I am a mentor, how…
Vince Lombardi once asked “If it doesn 't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?” Scoring points is a major factor in winning a football game, but stopping the opposing team from scoring helps too. So you might simply ask, just how important is scoring points versus the amount of points that a team allows to be scored on them? Here the correlation between three variables will be examined to come to a consensus of whether the points scored or points allowed correlates with the…
mass-formation plays, most notoriously the "Flying Wedge" introduced at Harvard by Lorin Deland in 1892, led to numerous on-field fatalities. In 1905, for example, eleven years after the Flying Wedge was outlawed, the Chicago Tribune reported an end-of-season count of 18 deaths and 159 additional "serious" injuries.…
Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa. When the scheduled came out saying we had to play the Patriots, I won't lie, I thought we were in for a bad game. Now I look at this game as a very easily winnable game. The…
