LEJ... an "easy" time? Ahhhh... if the Pats' secondary can get healthy with the by and the receiving corps can do better than the Steelers did, they have a (fairly) better than good "chance". But I don't think it's gonna be easy. The Pats NEEDED the by.

BTW, didja see that kid Owens shadow and make plays? We must be distant cousins. I played inside cornerback and outside when need be (oh, yeah, different terminolgy). I'd say he is near as good as I used to be. Now, he might be able to shadow a Welker - THAT is a monumental task.

Finally, can the Pats' offensive line keep Brady on his feet? To me, that is the big question. I suspect The Belly will go hurryup and West Coast early with short yardage and clock management as the main objectives. After what Denver did to Ben, I jus't can't see a long game until required.

BTW, I was glad to see that last play yesterday. I was cheering for the Steelers but I got to bed early and *I* need my beauty rest. Over 7 hours straight of football is enough.

Sorry, but that IS the short version.

Easy? Nope. But, in my gut, GO PATS!
