It was yet another crazy week in the NFL this past weekend, it seems like the goal of parity has finally been reached. When you look at the league wide standings there are no undefeated teams left and a log jam of teams with 1 or two losses.
20 of the 32 NFL teams are .500 or better and this is really good news for the Patriots.
Why? Because despite their feel-good win against the Dolphins we’re sure to get at least a few more inconsistent games from the young Pats. But in this year’s NFL it seems 4-5 losses won’t necessarily kill your season.
The set up for this weeks game against the Ravens has gone fairly well. The Ravens are coming off a feel-good win of their own and won’t be playing with desperation like they would’ve had they lost to the Broncos.
We all know what happened the last time the Ravens came to Foxboro, so if anything I expect the Pats to have a little bit of an emotional advantage.
All in all this will be an excellent test for the young Patriots secondary, going against veteran receivers and an offense that can move the ball. Offensively the Pats face their first test without Randy Moss and it’s against one of the leagues best defenses.
This isn’t a make or break game, but it will be an excellent indicator of where the Pats stand right now,
