Well, that was a hard one to watch…Brady & Co dominated the first half only to have the Bills turn the tables on them in the back half…4 picks didn’t help the cause…31-34 Buffalo puts us at 2-1 (logistically, the Bills were due to beat NE after losing to them for 15 games in a row…what’s that? about 7+ years?)

Sunday September 18 ~ New England Patriots vs San Diego Chargers

John Zappia, Maine Custom Realty (Maine Custom Realty) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:26:21 -0700

New England Patriots vs San Diego Chargers

Another nice win against the Chargers, 35-21. The Chargers are always a formidable opponent, never to be under-estimated on the field. It doesn’t get old watching Brady in the pocket and throwing for over 400 yards. 2-0, off to a good start.

New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins ~ 9/12/2011

John Zappia, Maine Custom Realty (Maine Custom Realty) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 22:55:43 -0700

New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins

Excellent season opener with the Pats taking out the Dolphins 38-24. Brady made his own news throwing for 517 yards, 1st in their franchise history. Great way to start the season and not a bad way to spend a Monday evening J
