The Patriots are in Oakland and the team, and Boston's sports fans, need a win. The Pats, fresh off a surprising loss to Buffalo, need to find a defense to stop someone. As for fans, well, you were there last week and we're moving forward as Bill Belichick might say. We'll start with Tom Brady. He chopped that hair right out of his helmet and we hope he has met his yearly interception quota. He tends to respond well after having bad games. Brady is 4-1 in games after he throws four interceptions. He's 25-6 after a loss.

Technically, the Patriots aren't playing the Tennessee Titans today. In honor of the 50th season of the old AFL teams, the Titans are dubbing themselves the Houston Oilers today in Foxboro. But whatever they call themselves, they're a good (or so we thought) team that's somehow 0-5, and the Patriots are a good (or so we thought) team that's 3-2 and hasn't really looked like itself. Something's got to give.
Amidst all the sogginess, crankiness, and uncertainty of this weekend's "series" with the Yankees, we're forgetting one silver lining. Scalpers must be getting their butts kicked, after probably paying high prices for tickets that now nobody wants. They surely had visions of hundreds of dollars for a season-ending showdown, little realizing that it would be a messy, rainy matchup of Pawtucket vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre that nobody really wants to go see, and the players probably don't really want to play. But at least tickets will be reasonably priced.
