Gray Matters
The Patriots just continue to roll on, continuing to make the dire predictions of doom from after week four look silly. The criticism of the team and how they played at Kansas City at the time certainly was legitimate, but what was ridiculous was the assumption that they wouldn't get any better.

Another Tomato Can By The Wayside
The once left for dead Patriots are now in danger of peaking too early, as they dispatched Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-21 at Gillette Stadium yesterday.
