Detroit is still on the road map for the New England Patriots
Shades of 2001? You betcha! The New England Patriots may finally have kicked in that high-gear that coaches Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick equip their championship teams with. While destroying the pathetic Buffalo Bills 35-7 wasn’t that big of a deal - although it was a promising sign - destroying play-off contenders Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-0 is big deal-ish. The Bucs offense was helpless against New England’s defense, and Tampa’s defense could only handle the Tom Brady Show for so long.
I’m not saying the Patriots are heading towards a three-peat, but at least they’ve stopped sleepwalking their way through a tough schedule and an easy division.
What I liked the most about yesterday was that Vince Wilfork really did stuff the run and Rosevelt Colvin really did pressure the quarterback. Tedy Bruschi laid waste to everything in his path. Guys doing what they are supposed to do. That’s what makes championship teams.
