Just in case you thought I was a fair weather fan

Ah, the Patriots. I haven't posted about them in a while because there hasn't been much to post about, besides them losing. They started out strong, or so we thought: they destroyed the Steelers, the Jets, and then scraped by against the Chiefs. The problem? The Steelers, Jets, and Chiefs have losing records. We thought we were proving ourselves and it turned out we the teams everyone thought would rule the NFL this season are in the basement with the Lions. All we proved was that we were mediocre and not terrible.

The Patriots kept most of the players who were hear last year. We're basically the same team. The question is: was last year luck? Or are we just not playing up to our potential? I think its the latter, but that doesn't make it any better. Just look at the Rams.

The season is far from over and there are a lot of games left, however we need to turn it around now. The bye week this year came at a good spot, at the corssroads, giving us the opportunity to make or break our season. I'm looking forward to next week to find out.

In other news, there's the Bills. I've watched almost every Bills game so far, feeling that we didn't do right by Bledsoe by tossing him out like we did. He's the only player I've ever followed when they left Boston, and he's proven that it's worth my time to keep my eye on him. The Bills games have proven to be exciting and fast paced, and they've been winning. It's good to see Bledsoe back in the game, doing his thing, and looking like a champ. He didn't get too much of that here in New England.

In any case, here's to football and to the rest of the season. I hope it gets a little better.
