The Patriots play their eighth (is that really how you spell "8th"? Something doesn't look right...) game of the season against the New York Giants at Gillette Stadium on Sunday November 6th at 4:15 PM.
Rough week last week, Guys. After the game I put on my Belichick pajamas, crawled into bed and cried myself to sleep.
I felt a little better when I woke up Monday morning. We're still 5 and 2. All is not lost.
This doesn't look like a Super Bowl defense, but nobody else out there really scares me right now. Nobody is running away with the AFC at this point.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that things are still wide open. It's only November.
Did Chad Ochocinco have a catch last week?
NO.
There's been a number of disappointments on this team this year. Here's five guys I'm hoping to see do something on the field this week:
1) Chad Ochocinco - My expectations were low when we traded for Chad... But not this low.
2) Taylor Price - Always looks great in the pre-season. Then we never see him again once the games count.
3) Danny Woodhead - Not getting the reps this year. And that's not going to get any better with K-Faulk back on the active roster.
4) Julian Edelman - You've got to smarten up there with the off the field incidents. That's a good way to get youself cut.
5) Albert Haynesworth - How does a 360 pound guy make himself invisible?
Is this the week the Patriots offense gets back to putting 30 on the board? Probably not.
My prediction: Pats 27, Giants 17
Stay hydrated, my friends.

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 "Tales From a Life in Football":
So it's 1985 and I'm the DC for the Giants. It's the first week of the season. We're playing the Eagles. And Lawrence Taylor shows up to the film session on Monday morning with a 13 year-old Thai hooker.
So I pull him aside and say "Uh, Lawrence, we've got a big game against a divisional opponent this week and I want you to be focused. I don't think your friend needs to be here for this."
He pauses for a second and looks at me. Then he says to me "Coach, this isn't my friend... I MARRIED this bitch last night."
I let one of the interns run the rest of the film session and make a few quick phone calls and manage to get the marriage annulled.
Somehow, Parcells managed to keep all this out of the papers. And we shut out the Eagles that week.
True story.

I know, Bill. I couldn't watch, either.
