Clearly this game is all about the return of NE QB Tom Brady. No doubt the ESPN MNF crew led by Mike Choirboy Tirico will pay homage from intro to sign off. Watch for panegyrics regarding Brady’s great ‘work ethic’ in his recovery adn how he’s ‘just as hungry as ever.’
Anyway, the far more important issue is the NE defensive front. The Patriots have been suspect against straight ahead runners for some time. Bill Belichick trading DL Richard Seymour to Oakland is a gamble. In this game, BUF RB Marshawn Lynch will not play. If the Patriots control the Buffalo run, WR Terrell Owens will be blanketed on passing downs. New England should win comfortably, but those who are thoughtlessly proclaiming the 2009 Patriots as equal to 2007 Patriots are 16 games early.
