Tom Brady is back in New England, and football fans have generally expected the team to pick up right where it left off before he went down. Unfortunately for Patriots fans, this isn’t the case.

Many analysts have predicted a New England Patriots Super Bowl victory entering the season, as some new weapons in New England make the team even stronger in their minds than before. I guess time will tell.

Unfortunately, things haven’t quite turned out this way during the first two weeks of the season. I guess it will take them some time to get it back and adjust to the changes.

While Tom Brady has been an effective quarterback, limiting his interceptions and generally making safe passes, he doesn’t look like the dominant quarterback that set the football world ablaze in 2007, with an undefeated regular season in New England.

He doesn’t look like the QB who’d throw 5 touchdowns in a game, only to follow it up with another terrific performance each and every week. Some of the things he has done have been absolutely nuts!

The Patriots can move the chains in between the 20s but can’t seem to find the end zone as much as they are used to. It’s not as if the Patriots lack the weapons, as they have WR Randy Moss, WR Wes Welker, WR Benjamin Watson, WR Joey Galloway, and RB Fred Taylor. Chemistry is very important between wide receivers and quarterbacks obviously.

As the season continues to move forward the Patriots should get back on track. Brady will only improve as time goes by.

One has to wonder if a year away from football brings on a little more rust than the football world is expecting. Week 3 for New England should be a telling one.
