Week 1

It's always great to start the season with a victory as the Pats did today with their 34-13 win over the Tennessee Titans. There are several items to focus on.

I'm sure the talk shows will be burning about Tom Brady getting knocked down and his bleeding nose cut. Pass protection is still a concern. Fans are not accustomed to seeing their poster boy quarterback bleeding on the sidelines. I'm sure this will get prominent attention by the media.

The running game looked very good with a 100 yard day by Steven Ridley. Brady distributed the ball well, although he was hurried a number of times.

The defense held them to 13 points and capitalized on turnovers. I'm sure we will hear about some of the longer pass plays by the Titans.

By Wednesday, it will be time to move onto the home opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
