Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:32:00 PDTPatriots Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) -
The predications surrounding the 2010 Patriots are as varied as they are readily available after an eventful, up-and-down preseason.
One school of thought is that any team that fields Tom Brady and is coached by Bill Belichick has a chance not only at the playoffs, but at a deep January run. Sporting two of the top options at two of the most important spots in football is a good start for any team. Throw in Randy Moss, Wes Welker and the makings of an offense that's been amongst the best in the game since 2007 and there is reason for the hope that permeates plenty of corners of Patriots Nation.
But the flipside of that is a realistic and more analytical look at a team that last we saw was being run off the field by Ray Rice and the Ravens on wild-card weekend.
