So, the Pats took some hits this off-season. They lost Welker to FA, Hernandez to prison and Gronk to injury (at least for now).
But look who they get to play week one:
One of the worst D's from last season, instituting a new D, with the best CB injured and the star S possibly not starting- and even if he starts/ plays a lot, he missed all of training camp and most of preseason while the new D was being installed.
And then there's the Bills' O- it's a no-huddle offense with either a rookie UDFA or a rookie who has been sidelined with injury in charge, and it's also a new system with only one experienced WR. Translation: If Brady goes 3 and out, there's no reason to take his helmet off because the Bills are likely going to go 3 and out and do it in a damn hurry.
The Pats got ****ed this off-season, but they can't ask for a better warm-up game to start the season. The only thing going against them is that it's on the road. Other than that, it's an ideal situation for breaking in their new faces.
