New England Patriots Week 11: Game day thoughts vs. Oakland Raiders

Last word on last week:

It is always nice to get a win in Denver, Tom Brady’s least favorite place to play by record (8-9 all-time, his only losing record). However, this one was especially nice after QB Brock Osweiler beat the Pats two years ago in an overtime game in Denver.

Rex Burkhead looks great and seems ready for his moment. On the opposite side, even though Butler was beat countless times, most of the time, it was just Emmanuel Sanders being great with Butler still in position.

I am not worried about Butler going forward. With the Patriots now at 7-2 and looking great, hopefully they can carry the momentum into Mexico and possibly even further. Even though the stay over in Colorado will probably turn it to be a great bonding experience for the team, I am sure they are all ready for their own beds after 11 days away.

And with that, as Belichick says, on to Cincinnati (oops Mexico City).
