The guys began the show talking about Asante Samuel’s supposed dropped pick 6 in the endzone before talking about the Patriots 49-26 win over the Raiders. They touched on Cassel playing after losing his father before praising the running game, Matt Light’s injury and looked ahead to the forthcoming home game against the Cardinals. Fred also brought up a humourous story concerning Paul almost missing the flight to Oakland to which Paul blamed Italian discrimination because they mispelled his name on his boarding card.

John in LA called in and immediately got into a beef with Andy before bringing up JP Losman’s ridiculous fourth quarter play in the Bills loss to the Jets. He also had a great idea about possible ‘Best of PFW’ podcasts from stand out moments in Patriots history. Fred suggested Andy likes Erik a lot more than he lets on following the two of them looking happy having breakfast together in Oakland and sharing a blanket on the flight home. Dave from the Philippines called in as he was preparing to fly back to the States for the holidays and ignited a discussion about the Jets and Miami and who are playing best at the moment.

The guys thanked Anthony in Naples for his gifts that seemingly went astray and ended up in the hands of Bryan Morry in the Hall at Patriot Place (presented by Raytheon). Following a break an email brought up a discussion about the shocking state of the Oakland Raiders franchise. Alcohol provider Anthony in Naples called in, to much gratitude, and continued the Raiders discussion by saying JaMarcus Russell was unfortunate to be overhyped in college and how Al Davies should be committed.

After talking about the Patriots’ potential routes into the playoffs and this Sunday’s game against the Cardinals with Paul and Andy both thinking it could easily go either way. Andy spoke briefly about the reports that Buffalo Bills’ head coach Dick Jauron has signed a three-year extension to his contract.

With the announcement of who’s going to the Pro Bowl expected on Tuesday the guys spoke about the possibility of which players will be representing the Patriots. As well as the players who were nominated by the fans, the guys brought up Welker and Cassel who should be in contention.

The show ended with the guys being joined by Patriots Playbook host John Rook to talk about Florida Gators wide receiver Percy Harvin as a potential 2009 Patriots draft pick. This was followed by Andy’s announcement that people in the league are mentioning Tim Tebow as a potential Patriot before the guys left to do their NECN show.
