College Football Rivalry

The New England Patriots are the predominant favorite to win the AFC East with a healthy QB Tom Brady. While the Patriots without Tom Brady went 11-5, they didn’t make the playoffs.

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.

The Patriots won their first game at home against the Bills, and after a shaky start, essentially looked like the team of old. Well, Tom Brady did when he took control in the final two minutes. The rest of the team, not so much!

Many expect Brady to be rusty and shows sign of being a rookie again. It isn’t all about Tom Brady. The Patriots wide receivers must give Brady help and make plays and the offensive line must keep Brady upright and protected.

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.

Brady was a comeback king during the team’s first matchup against the Bills, working his typical magic at the end of the game to will the team to victory. Week two showed a completely different side of Brady that no one had seen before.

The Patriots defense is good but maybe not as great in seasons past. Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the leagues history, and the chances are good he and the Patriots will rise to the top of the AFC once again.
