Week 1
The first week of the season showcased two AFC east rivals in Miami. Coming off of a disappointing season the Dolphins came out swinging scoring on the first drive. However, Brady and the Patriots offense would show why they have been the most dominate offense this league has seen in the past twenty years. With strong performances from Woodhead (69 yards on 14 carries) and the rookie Nate Solder, Brady was able to throw for a MNF record 517 yards on 32 completions with 4 TDs. With Brady on his A game and the rest of the offense playing great football the Patriots were able to pull off the 38-24 victory.

Though the offense looked nearly perfect for the Pats, the defense played far from perfect. Letting Chad Henne through for over 400 yards should not be done by the Buffalo Bills never mind the Belicheck led Patriots. The defensive line was not able to put any consistent pressure on Henne and the secondary looked slows and scared. With the exception of Patrick Chung I did not see a single player on the Patriots defense land any sort of intimidating or hard hit. This defense needs to get themselves together quickly if they expect to be successful this season because there are many teams will be better than the dolphins in every offense aspect, including the San Diego Chargers coming to town on Sunday.
