Patriot Fatih

 After a shocking week two defeat, many NFL fans and professional bloggers are writing the Patriots off. First of all it was Tom Brady's first regular season lost since 2006 and has not played in over a year. People are ready to anoint the Jets the new AFC East champs after two impressive wins. Last season after beating the Patriots many experts were calling the Jets the favorite to reach the Super Bowl. At 8-3 the New York Jets won one of their last five games; missing the playoffs with a 9-7 record. While at 2-0 no one is calling for a Jet Super Bowl appearance, they are certainly jumping on the bandwagon fast. By the time the Patriots and Jets next meet in Foxboro Massachusetts, Bellichick and Brady will be more than ready to exact revenge.

   Granted the AFC East and the Jets are vastly improved this is still New England's division for the taking. The Patriots had an off game and the Jets played great, but as Jet's head coach Rex Ryan said: "we were the better team today". It was nothing more than an early season abberation and the Patriots high octane offense will reemerge soon. Tom Brady is still not back in rhythm with his offense nor the flow of the NFL game, but look for him to steadily improve each week. On NFL Network's NFL Gameday show last sunday; Deion Sanders said: "He seemed like his rhythm is still off, like his knee is still bothering him. In the past you didn't blitz Tom Brady like that". Normally if you blitz so aggressively against the Patriots, Brady would just get rid of the ball quickly to the right receiver. This week however was a different story, as number 12 was under duress all game. The pressure from the defense ended up causing an interception and many other errant throws. Brady hates to throw interceptions and he hates to lose; you know he will delve into preparation this week with his signature feverish work ethic. As shocking of a loss as this was, I am fully confident the Patriots will ratchet up their efforts and performance in the coming weeks. Although their upcoming schedule is difficult with Atlanta and Baltimore coming to Gillette Stadium, they will win both games. This Patriot offense will let lose upon the young Falcon defense (this week) and will never settle for a non touchdown game again all season. The last thing the rest of the league needs is a determined Belichick and Brady on the war path together again. New England Fans just need to have a little Patriot faith and the rest of NFL fans need to have a little Patriot respect.
