Week 3 Pats need to win

After not looking good against the Jets last week. The Patriots need to get a win against a 2 and 0 Atlanta team. Atlanta has an explosive offense that has been retooled by former Patriots director of college scouting Thomas Dimitroff. Second year pro Matt Ryan has been excellent in developing into an NFL quarterback. Tony Gonzalez will be a tough opponent for the Patriots linebackers. If they can limit his production and take Roddy White out of the team with double coverage the Patriots have a chance to win this one. I think Tom Brady will have a break out game this week. The Atlanta secondary isn't very good. Randy Moss should have two td's and if Welker can play he should get a ton of receptions. If Brady has a break out game this will limit the monstrous Michael Turner's carries. They need to make sure John Abraham doesn't put a lot of pressure on Brady. Matt Light needs to step his game up. I'd like to see New England establish a running game if they can get a lead. It will not be a blow out. Atlanta will put points on the board. I see a 35 to 24 win with a late score and a couple of sacks on Matt Ryan to end this one. They need to take this one with Baltimore coming to town.

Needham is 3-0, so is Natick, Wellesley and Walpole. Natick will crush them under the lights October 30. Mark it on the calendar!
