Turns out the "new" Bill Belichick looks and sounds an awful lot like the "old" one.
Packed to capacity in the lower level on one side of Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Patriots fans watched replays from the AFC championship victory that put New England in the Super Bowl.
A Super Sequel.
A quick glance at a stat sheet reveals a respectable Washington Redskins offense. Rated 17th in the NFL in total offense, the Redskins boast the league's 12th-ranked aerial attack. Their emerging rookie running back, Roy Helu, has rushed for at least 100 yards in each of the team's past three games. And the unit put up 27 points last Sunday, a total almost high enough to take down the mighty New England Patriots.

Not differently enough to put them in the playoffs, perhaps, but differently enough to cut down on the cries of despair from their fans as one defeat was piled atop another.

It's no secret that the New England Patriots defense has struggled to stop the pass this season.
"It all happened so fast," Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo said. "I've never been part of anything like that, but I'm glad that we were on the right side of it."
"You look at this as a chance to separate yourself from the rest of the pack," Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo said. "We handled the Bills and now this is a big game for us to kind of distance ourselves."
