the patriots had an easy schedule..... Buffalo (2x), Colts (2x), San Diego, Atlanta, Denver, Carolina, Cincinatti, and Cleveland........ just like the giants had last year. We'll see how good they are next year when they play a first place schedule. BTW, 10 days til pitchers and catchers report and 125 days til Pedro and Nomar are back on the DL....lol I'm not here to bash the patriots......Enjoy it while you can......Boston fans should know that championships don't happen very often.
