Patriots Football - "We're on a mission"

Seymour had some good years, but his best are behind him and the Pats never were going to be able to re-sign both him and Wilfork for next year. No doubt that the trade hurts us a little this year, but I beleive it will work out to our benefit in the long run. In Bill we trust.

Seymour is a no show in Oakland

He'll show up eventually, (he actually has five days before the league does anything). He's probably looking for some extra perks in his contract.

Some observations after the terrific win against Buffalo:

Tom Brady was definitely rusty at the beginning of this game. Fortunately he got better as the game progressed and was his old self by the 4th quarter.

We are going to need to score a lot of points this year with our young defense, especially if Jarod Mayo is gone for any length of time. However - the defensive backs were better than I expected.

Maroney looked better than last year, but still not like when he was a rookie.

Randy Moss is as close to an unstopable receiver as there is in this league.

Just when I had give up on Ben Watson he comes through, TWICE ! Good for you Ben make a believer out of me.

Wilfork looked re-energized, maybe he is anticipating a big contract now that Seymore is gone. By the way, what was wrong with his sack? It looked like a clean hit on the QB to me.

Jets up next, hope the defense gets more energized.

Well, it just looked like the Jets wanted this one more than the Pats did.
Sigh....can't win 'em all.

What a stinker Brady played, all the pointing and delay of game calls, he could not hit a bull in the a$$ with a pass.
The funny thing is the Pats were still in the game and had a chance to pull it out.

Brother, don't wanna start nuthin', but you aren't giving the Jets new defensive schemes - and the noisy Jets fans in GIANTS Stadium - enough credit here. If the D is stunting, and your QB is unable to call audibles due to the raucous crowd, your offense will sputter, and you can get delay-of-games.
