Who doesn’t love starting a shiny, new NFL season with a Week 1 win? Have to say the Patriots looked pretty normal-to-good on Sunday, especially considering some of the ugly, hot-mess situations we witnessed this weekend. Certainly there’s plenty to work on, such as run defense and special teams (and acclimating all the recently added personnel), but it takes the edge off that Week 3 Detroit game, doesn’t it?
That reminds me, let’s all give a rousing, hearty welcome to the Patriots defense, returning to action after a long (painful) absence. We missed you. Make yourselves comfortable and please, we beg you, stay as long as you like.
