Patriots Getting Ready for Camp

It’s Friday, which means we’re very close to another weekend. This means another week has passed, which means we’re another week closer to training camp, which means we’re all that much closer to football season.  However, I still have to fill the next few weeks with news stories, even though the Patriots are on vacation and won’t be back until training camp starts.  So, with that in mind, allow me to personally thank ESPN.com for running this New England Patriots post-mini-camp breakdown, giving me plenty to write about to finish my week strong.

The article basically just tells us what we can glean from the Patriots mini-camps.  What we do know is that the Patriots find themselves now fighting against the Super Bowl curse, if you believe in such a thing.  It is true that six of the last seven Super Bowl losers failed to qualify for the playoffs in the next season, but I really don’t see anyone else in the Pats’ division challenging them for a Super Bowl spot.  Nor do I think the Patriots’ schedule lends itself to a disappointing year.  However, the playoffs are really the important thing to this team, and they lay the groundwork for future success right now, in the preseason.
