New England Patriots in Search of Sweet Sixteen “16″

The Patriots are one game away from “PERFECTION”. If they win tomorrow night they will become the first team in NFL history to reach the pinnacle of 16 wins and 0 defeats in the regular season.

This game has brought a lot of discussion as to whether or not the New York Giants will or should rest their players for the playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I think the Giants will play their hardest and their starters for at least the first half. If the Pats open the game up early and take a big lead look for the Giants and the Pats to rest their starters in the second half.

The Patriots are destined to break a few NFL records and I feel they will break the following records tomorrow night.

• Most points by a team in a regular season 556 (held by the 1998 Vikings Randy Moss was on that team: They need a TD to break it.
• Most Touchdown passes by a quarterback 49 (held by Peyton Manning) Tom Brady has 48 and will break this no problem.
• Most Touchdown receptions 22 (held by Jerry Rice) the amazing thing about this stat is that Jerry Rice did this in the strike shortened 1987 season in 12 games. Randy Moss has 21 and Brady will get this stat out of the way early on.

The Patriots last week broke the record for most touchdowns in a season ironically against the team that held the record, the Miami Dolphins who had 70 and now the Pats have 71.

If you are a Pats fan don’t take this game lightly as the Giants are a good team and have a couple of great defensive ends in Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora who collectively have 22 sacks between them. The Pats know how to prepare as they have defeated all the rest of the teams in this division.

Look for the Pats to open the game up early in the air as Brady will march down the field and score the first touchdown with a pass to Randy Moss. The Pats will need to stop the Giants running attack but the Pats defense against the run ranks 10th in the league and the Giants are ranked 4th in rushing on offense.

The Pats rank 4th in total defense and the Giants 6th.

This won’t be that easy but it will depend on what happens early on. The Pats will go for the records and will go undefeated and the Giants will not be able to stop them.

New England Patriots 34

New York Giants 17

Weather forecast is dry and 44 degrees at game time and breezy and 37 by the end of the game.

GO PATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all our Readers

I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

After a week of 3 snowstorms and a couple days of shoveling snow off our roof I was in my home office Christmas Eve morning surfing the net. I got up off my office chair and felt excruciating pain in my lower back and could barely walk. I was able to get in to see my chiropractor Dr. Steven A. Floyd of Derry Chiropractic. He adjusted my back and neck and I returned home to relax on a wet heating pad.

Later in the day. I was up for a drive along the coast to watch the full moon rise.

New England Patriots vs. the Miami Dolphins a recap

The now 15-0 New England Patriots have one game left to play to be the first team in league history to go undefeated. Although that is not their ultimate goal, I would bet that they are thrilled to be able to play for the record.

View my pre game synopsis at the Active Rain Real Estate Network.

The Pats started off pretty well as they stopped the Dolphins on their first possession. Then Brady and the Pats marched down the field and Brady hit Moss on an 11 yard pass play for their first score.

As the first quarter neared the end Laurence Maroney scampered for 51 yards to the Dolphins 28. Maroney’s longest run of his career. A few plays later Brady hit Moss from 1 yard out to bring Moss to within one catch of tying Jerry Rice’s record of 22 Touchdown catches.

The Dolphins go three and out as they start the second quarter. The Pats have a third and one and Brady hands off to Laurence Maroney and he jets off tackle and rumbles for 59 yards this time and scores. Breaking his career long 51 yards just a few minutes earlier. He sure did cover a lot of real estate so far in this game.

On the Dolphins next series they went three and out again and were forced to punt. In is first game back and probbaly his last regular season game at Gillette Troy Brown was to receive this punt. I don’t know what happened but the ball hit his face guard and was ruled a muff as the Dolphins recovered. Thank goodness the Dolphins went three and out and Wes Welker went in to field this punt.

A little more than half way through the second quarter Brady hits Jabbar Gaffney for a needle threading 48 yard touchdown pass. The Dolphins defender missed the interception by a whisker. Credit Gaffney for keeping his eye on the ball.

At the half the New England Patriots 28 Miami Dolphins 0

The second half was boring as all get out. The Pats could barely muster a decent drive.

The Dolphins barely threatened the rest of the game except for a drive that left them on the one inch line as quaterback Cleo Lemon tried to get the ball over the pilon at the goal line but failed. The Pats made a great oal line stance again.

The Dolphins finally mustered up a score to make it 28 to 7. Cleo Lemon hit Greg Camarillo for a 21 yard touchdown pass.

After that the game was quite boring. The Pats took Brady out at aound the 2 minute warning.

The Pats broke the single season touchdown mark with 71 breaking the Dolphins record set in 1984 with 70. Tom Brady has tied Dan Marino’s 48 touchdown passes and needs one more to tie Peyton Manning’s 49 and two to break it.

The Pats have scored 551 points this year and only need 5 more to tie the Vikings. Weather permitting next Saturday night this should not be a problem. All they need is two field goals or one touchdown to break the record.

The road to perfection travels to New York on Saturday evening at 8:15 PM on the NFL Network. Most New England fans will be able to watch the game on local TV. Thank goodness we have Direct TV.

The Pats can lose this game and still save face as their goal is to win the Super Bowl.

I will be really bummed if they lose to my childhood team Giants. The Super Bowl is the ultimate prize.

Hampstead New Hampshire Real Estate in the Snow

Well it’s the day before Winter starts and I have had it with all the snow we have had. We have had 3 storms in the past week.

As you can see, Monika’s Ford Explorer is almost hidden from the snow bank. I do most of the snow removal by shovel. I did have Monika’s son plow the driveway during Sunday’s storm.

I enjoy shoveling as it gives me a good workout. I know I am burning calories but my back is starting to feel it. I noticed today that my forearms are getting tired and I can hardly raise my arms over my head. It is getting hard to throw the snow any higher than it is now.
It is supposed to get a little warmer this weekend but rain is in the forecast for Sunday’s Patriots game. I wonder if it will be cold enough to snow. It can snow down there but not up here. We are about an hour and a half north of Foxborough, Ma. where the Patriots play.

Now my next big project is to remove the snow from my roof. It has been a while since I have had to do that. I do have a snow rake for the roof. Next I will have to take the snow off the motor home. I am not looking forward to that. Come on February as we are heading to Florida for a week.

Golf the way it should not be played

My wife Monika saw this on another social network and I thought I’d play it here. There are some funny things on this you tube video.

I have actually done a couple of these things, can you guess which ones I have done?

New Hampshire Snow Storms Clean Your Car Roof

If you have a car, truck or any vehicle you drive on our highways and bi-ways please clean the snow off the roof of your car. I can not stand it when I am driving down the road and either the car next to me or in front of me has snow on their roof. The snow will fly off the roof and plays havoc with me trying to see what’s in front of me.

I remember back in high school a car heading towards me had a sheet of snow fly off their roof and I could see it heading right towards my car. All of a sudden I hear a big thud. The snow crashed on my windshield and I was blinded for a few seconds as I tried to frantically see what was in front of me. This can be extremely dangerous as it almost broke the windshield.

Today while traveling north on Interstate 93 I was sandwiched next to a UPS truck that had snow on the roof and a lot of the snow had flown off the roof and it kept falling on my car. I was really ticked off and found it very dangerous. I tried to move away and found myself stuck near this truck. Snow all over my windshield and wipers frantically trying to remove it.

So please remove snow from your roof.
