England Patriots
The New England Patriots head to London England to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa is the second winless team the Pats have played in a row. This should be another one sided battle. Tampa Bay is giving up an average of 28 points a game. They are 31st against the run and 11th against the pass. The Patriots should be able to take advantage of Josh Johnson who is only in his 6th game as a starter and prone to throwing interceptions. Johnson did not play last season as a rookie. Carnell Willliams is running well as of late. so shutting down the running game should be priority number one. Especially with Josh Johnson being a mobile quarterback. The Tampa Offensive line is a good unit. Brady and the offense should be able to put up 35 points this week. I see a 38-14 game with the Patriots causing turnovers on defense. Brady should have 4 touchdowns. Aqib Talib will not shutdown Randy Moss. A rushing combo of BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Laurence Maroney should gain over 100 yards on the ground. With Kevin Faulk doing his part on third downs. Only Buffalo is worse at stopping the run. The passing attack should open up the run game. These two games should give the Patriots the swagger and confidence to start playing at the top of there game coming into the bye week. Setting up for a tougher run against Miami, Indianapolis, New York Jets, New Orleans and in Miami which is usually a tough place for Brady. But a much easier December awaits after that stretch of games.

Long time reader, first time writer. Love your blog! Keep up the good work. What I would like your thoughts on, is Brandon Tate. How well do you think he will fill in for that bum Joey Gallaway? I have high hopes for this kid, even though he is coming off a leg injury. Your thoughts?
I would also like your thoughts on this. What do you think of this kid? Do you think he'll have a long and prosperous career?
Brandon Tate was the best of the North Carolina Trio of wide receivers that came out in the draft this April. before he went down for the season with an ACL tear. He is an excellent route runner and has a lot of speed. He has been in studying film since his arrival so he should know the routes. I think they will ease him in. This week i'd think they would go more with Sam Aiken. Then the bye week should give him the extra time to develope on the field. How the Knee will hold up is the major question. Only time will tell on that. With all this time to digest the mental part he should be a good option for Brady by the end of the season. Joey Galloway was a total bust! i'm Glad he's gone. Too bad Edelman broke his wrist. I have not heard a time table with him. He was really becoming a playmaker. Hopefully he can return this season.
it looks like we may see terrence nunn and brandan tate this week. they have been working with brady and the offense this week.
I heard a rumor that Joey Galloway is still great, but that he hated Tom Brady and resented him for being from Michigan. Do you think tht's why Brady was acting like such a bitch everytime Galloway missed a ball? Maybe and old OSU Michigan grudge?
Nope
Nope. -- Now that's great insite. I can see a future for you on ESPN. You are very well writen and full of insite. If there was a Special Olympics for bloggers you might get a medal. I guess you had nothing to add as you are so sure I was wrong. I have a source from Ohio who gave me that info, where does your info come from
these are professional athletes in their 30's. they do not care about what college they are from. i figured you were just being a smart ass or joking with a question like that.
