The Patriots play their tenth game of the year at Bank of America Stadium against the Carolina Panthers on Monday, November 18 at 8:40 PM.
Welcome back. It feels like forever since we've last seen a Patriots game.
How'd the Patriots look against the Steelers? Pretty good!
Shane Vereen may play again this week. Looking forward to seeing him back out there.
Andre Power Rankings
1) the Giant
2) 3000
3) Carter
4) that seal movie
5) Dawson
Here's five guys I'll be staying up late to watch Monday night:
1) Tom Brady - Brady had 432 yards and 4 TDs last week (252 yards in the first half) against Pittsburgh. Plus he looked the most comfortable I've seen him all season.
2) Aaron Dobson - It feels like Dobson is finally breaking away from the other rookie WRs.
3) Stevan Ridley - Ridley has been looking strong.
4) Chandler Jones - 8.5 sacks already this year. That's a lot of sack.
5) Danny Amendola - I suppose I should say something nice about Amendola here. Ummm... He had a good game... I guess? (I'd still rather have Welker back...)
Did Michael Hoomanawanui have a catch last week?
YEAH!
My prediction: Pats 27, Panthers 21
My prediction (Season): 12 - 4*
ADJUSTED!
*I've been sticking with 10 - 6 all season up to this point. But it's probably pretty unlikely they're going to go 3 - 4 over the last seven games.

This year, we're going to have regular contributions from Fake Bill Belichick for your reading pleasure. Here's this week's selection from Fake Bill Belichick's third book "My Life Away From Football":
Last offseason. Still looking to see if there was something I could do other than football.
Actually thought about retiring for a bit. Went to see my old mentor Bill Parcells and see how he was doing in retirement.
"You want a beer?"
"No thanks. It's 9:45 in the morning."
"Bourbon then?"
"Uh, no."
"Fine. More for me then."
"Congratulations on your Hall of Fame induction, Coach."
"Thanks! I'm thinking of skipping the ceremony."
"Seriously?"
"Nah, not really! I'm just messing with you. Got you good, didn't I?"
"Yeah. I guess so."
"So what brings you down here today, Billy Boy?"
"Thinking about maybe leaving coaching. I'm wondering if I've lost my passion for it."
"WHAT? I'd go back in a second if I could. Never walk away."
"OK."
"Remember the time we made Charlie Weis do the truffle shuffle?"
"Yes."
"That was awesome."
"Yeah. I guess it was kinda awesome."
"What other line of work are you going to make memories like that? Did I tell you about the silk panties on gameday thing?"
"Yeah, I'm not doing that."
"Besides... What else are you going to do with yourself? It's not like you're going to get an analyst job and go on TV or anything. You hate those people."
He was right. He may be completely crazy. But he was right.
I had to get back to coaching.
