Quarterback Tom Brady did not have experienced wide receivers all football betting season and it ended up costing the Patriots a possible Super Bowl win and frustrated football betting fans.  The Patriots rewarded football betting players with a 10-6 record against the NFL betting spread.  They were also surprisingly an under team for football betting players going under in 10 of their 16 NFL betting games in 2006.  NFL betting fans know that running back Laurence Maroney was a nice complement to Tom Brady’s passing in the 2006 football betting season.  Football betting fans know that kicker Stephen Gostkowski was a reasonable replacement for kicker Adam Vinatieri, who left as a free agent for Indianapolis and ended up winning a Super Bowl.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 2006 SEASON REVIEW

New England Patriots 2006 Stats

The 2006 Patriots were a team that before the football betting season began was considered a group of dead men walking.  This was a team that aging before our very eyes.  There had been an exodus of talent from the team that had won three Super Bowls in four years of football betting and slowly all that was left was a skeleton of the former champs with the brain.  Tom Brady, perfectly intact.  But there was no way the brain could make the skeleton function with no meat on the bones and no talent on the roster.  All of Brady’s receivers from the Super Bowl football betting days had left the teams in a huff, minus the dinosaur Troy Brown who had been asked to play every position on the field except long snapper and do so while taking a pay cut.  The main running back, Corey Dillon was getting long in the tooth and had defiantly lost a step during that football betting season.

The defense, well that was another story all together for that football betting season.  Once the pride and joy of the defensive master-mind, coach Bill Bellichek, the group was now best described as decrepit.  Willie McGinst had left to chase money in Cleveland, not that he would have been all that production anyway given his age.  Teddy Buschi was coming off a life-threatening stroke and the rest of the line backing corps had been special teams for other teams before being signed.  The secondary was awful on paper and the only NFL betting legitimate star on that side of the ball was Richard Seymour who seemed at odds with management regarding his contract for the football betting season.

But somehow this NFL betting team came together and was within a few touchdowns of another Super Bowl victory.  Tom Brady was Tom Brady and it didn’t matter who they lined up on the field in the football betting season, if they could catch it he would get them the ball.  NFL betting team’s leading receiver was Reche Caldwell (who?) who caught 61 balls for 760 yards followed by tight end Ben Watson with 49 snags for 643 yards in that same football betting season.  But Brady distributed the ball to everyone as he threw for 3500 yards, a 61% pass completion, a TD/INT ratio of 24/12 and a passing rating of 87.9.  Considering the talent he was surrounded with the only other QB who could have put those NFL betting numbers in those conditions is probably Peyton Manning.

And speaking of Manning, it was finally his year to get the better of Brady, who had -until 2006 football betting season- made a career of knocking Manning and the Colts out of playoffs.  But Manning had his revenge and finally knocked off the unbeatable Patriots, in their own back yard of all places, in the frigid football betting AFC championship game.

One big surprise for the team and a very pleasant one at that was the emergence of rookie running back Lawrence Maroney.  Taken with the Pat’s first pick in the 2006 draft, he was worth every penny they paid him and then some for the football betting season.  Neither he nor Maroney broke a thousand yards, but with a shaky o-line sharing limited handoffs to begin with, that wasn’t a huge NFL betting surprise.  But he did rush for 745 yards with six TDs and 4.3 yards per carry.  Old man Dillon also looked good splitting carries and racking up 800 yards and 13 TDs on four yards per carry average.   There wasn’t much else to talk about in the football betting season on the offensive side of the ball as the no-name receiver corps did just enough to make a target for Brady.  Rookie Chad Jackson of Florida, the second round pick for the Patriots in 200, showed some NFL betting promise but never did enough to really separate himself out for a starting role in the football betting season.

On the defensive side of the ball there were a lot of players playing this football betting season above their abilities.  Teddy Bruschi, coming off a major stroke, put a in a solid performance although his limitations really started to show last football betting season.  Asanti Samuels had a phenomenal football betting season, especially late in the year and made throwing the ball a nightmare for opposing QBs and he hawked anything that came near him.

There were a lot of positives to take from last football betting season, and the team nearly shocked the world and added another trophy to their Super Bowl Collection.  However, there’s a lot to worry about for 2007 football betting season as well, as the rest of the division reloads and gets better and it seems the Pats simply do enough to plug holes and hope the Brady can carry the enormous burden of winning the football betting season without talent by himself.
