Tough to be a trap game when you're facing a 2-0 squad that is a divisional opponent. 

Plus, are the Pats gonna be caught looking ahead to a Week 4 matchup with Oakland, of all teams? I don't think so.

Part II was last night on the NFL Network.  I really enjoyed the whole thing.

10 years ago today that Mo Lewis made that hit on Bledsoe and the rest became history.

I remember being in college watching that game and telling my roommate "There goes the season."

Think I was wrong about that one....

One of my favorite plays that year was when Drew Bledsoe got that TD in the AFC Championship game (I believe).  I don't really know I was only 10 at the time.

Not really surprising.  Pretty sure the only reason they looked at him in the first place was because he's Rob's brother.

Should not have been at all, but looks like that is exactly what it ended up being.

I highly doubt that's the reason they brought him on, but no surpise with him getting cut.

Tough game today.  Brady really wasn't at his best.

I think this is a good thing, though.  I've been thinking since the playoff loss in January that it would be for the best if the Patriots could struggle a little bit and work out the kinks instead of racking up high scoring wins that cover up their major defensive issues.

I'd rather the Pats go 11-5 and win a couple playoff games than go 14-2 again and lose another home playoff game.

ya, I agree....I think todays game should serve as a wake up call to the patriots defense....when you score 31points as a team, usually you win the game...giving up 34points is unacceptable...and that last drive the bills made getting down to the goal-line in 2 PLAYS...was just extremely poor defense.

what do you guys think about Ochocinco? he plays his first extended snaps in game action and comes up short. is he a lost cause? cut him and we take a flyer on someone like Moss? or just chalk it up as one bad game....afterall, Deion branch had a pretty bad game as well...

Personally, Im trying not to over-react....and while these last 3 weeks have been embarrasingly bad for someone considered a "star receiver"...he catches that pass and we dont have this discussion..we're still 3 weeks into the season...if its week 5-6 and he's still playing this poorly then id think cutting him

If I'm a Pats opponent I'm targeting McCourty with reckless abandon. If I'm the Pats I'm sitting him and playing Arrington.

Despite the points I think the loss goes on the offense today.

What's it matter if they don't win the Super Bowl and by the way losing is never good.
