Patriots have another tough game ahead

The New England Patriots welcome back Randy Moss and a Minnesota Vikings team that play better than their 2-4 record.

As much as fans were worried the San Diego team could have been a trap game for the Patriots, this week should raise more  about Patriots team will show up on Sunday afternoon.

The Patriots have outperformed so far this year with a record of 5-1 (the loss coming against the Jests). Accordingly, what seemed like a tough schedule has turned into a schedule of the unknown.

Patriots charged up for west coast action

The New England Patriots had their first BIG win of the season beating the Ravens at home after the bye week. Then before you could flip the page to see the next scheduled game, the NFL scene changed dramatically to player safety and helmet-to-helmet hits.

The Patriots own safety Brandon Meriweather was fined and partially benched for a flagrant launch hitting TE Todd Heap and putting him out of action with a stinger for a a portion of the game.

The Patriots back to work on Wednesday this week, chose to ingore the Ravens game and everything not associated with the San Diego Chargers.

Patriots clip Ravens in OT

The New England Patriots played as a team yesterday versus the Ravens, a team considered one of the top three teams in the NFL and a favorite to win the Super Bowl in Dallas.

The Patriots offense sputtered through the first three quarters trailing 20-10 in the forth quarter, before Tom Brady could finally execute some drives and tie up the score 20-20 and go into overtime.

Credit the defense front seven in this match as they limited the Ravens running game in the second half and put pressure on Ravens QB Joe Flacco. The defensive backs, which struggled earlier in the game, stepped up and played tight on coverage and not allowing the Ravens to convert on 3rd down.

Patriots back into the Act

After the first quarter of the season and a bye week, the Patriots are back into action versus the team that ended their 2009 playoff run, the Baltimore Ravens.

There have been many changes since then and also in the past two weeks. So here are the key Patriots Acts for this week:

Act 1: Brady, Brady, Brady

How can Brady manage the game with Moss gone and Deion Branch back in NE? Where Brady goes there goes the offense and (with the defense still trying to find itself) the game.

Act 2: Will there be offensive balance between pass versus the run?
