New England fading fast

What is it about superbowl losers, anyway?

From the Pats blog ( PatsBlog ):

Faulk charged with marijuana possession

According to Louisiana station KATC, Patriots running back Kevin Faulk was cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession on Friday night.

(This is a correction of an earlier posting which said Faulk was arrested.)

Faulk, a team captain last season, was at the Cajundome for a concert featuring rapper Lil Wayne and a random security check turned up four joints.

He is the second Patriots player this month to be cited for marijuana -- just days after the team's Super Bowl loss, special teams standout Willie Andrews was arrested in Lowell, Mass.

Personally I'm not near saying they are in demise. Sure I'm happy they got their perfect season broken off in their ass, but they WILL be in contention again. The Bengals...I'm not so sure.

Ya, I'm not sure it's all over for them. They still have strong lines on both sides of the ball - which is the most important thing at this level - plus Brady. Not exactly without talent everywhere else either. Age has caught up with them at LB but apart from that, very solid. I expect them to get to at least the AFCD game, especially when you consider the division they play in.

Yep, they're in deep s**t alright.
