After five weeks, it's clear the New England Patriots have changed some things on offense. Only problem is, if you blink, you may miss them.
The return of Josh McDaniel has sparked the innovation pace and how to dictate it. This past Sunday, it was on full display as Bill Belichick, McDaniels, and Brady went full throttle and Denver got throttled.

Great game from the Patriots. I was nervous the whole time that Manning would come back in the end, as he always seems to do. If you read the comments from Broncos fans you would have never known Denver had a chance to win it though. They gave up pretty quickly and were constantly bashing their own players, particularly linebacker Joe Mays. Some of comments even wished that he got...
