Same team, new parts of the cog, another championship year??
Pats will have to deal with some adversity to start the season, Harrison suspended for 4 games for HGH, and Seymour and Brown out for 6 games due to injuries. Randy Moss, will he play, has he had enough practice time to be effective. Only time will tell. Brady missed portions of Thursday's practices, reportedly due to his shoulder bothering him.

The New England Patriots had a successful off-season. It's now time for them to translate that success to the field.
Opening the season with perhaps the highest expectations of the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era, the Patriots face a tough test Sunday when they visit the AFC East rival New York Jets.
This game is a rematch of an AFC wild-card playoff matchup from Jan. 7, won 37-16 by the Patriots at Foxborough. Brady passed for 212 yards and two touchdowns while improving to 6-0 during his career in home playoff games -- all of them coached by Belichick.
The Patriots -- who went 12-4 to win their fourth straight AFC East title -- advanced to the AFC championship game at Indianapolis, where they let a 21-3 lead slip away en route to a 38-34 defeat.
After the loss, New England spent the offseason aggressively retooling its roster. To bolster an aging linebacking corps, the Patriots signed two-time Pro Bowler Adalius Thomas away from Baltimore.
