Call it homerism, but I truly think the Patriots' secondary is much improved over last year. Harrison returning puts the hurt back, and the fear in some WRs. That's 2 games against a better pass D. The other weak pass Ds left are HOU in week 12 and Oak in week 17, so that's only really one. The other Ds are good against the pass, or have such bad offenses most teams run out the clock (Buf, Ind, Jac, Mia, Det, Cle, Chi, GB, Buf, Min, Mia). He has a much tougher passing schedule then last year's stats are showing. He'll still probably have a few good games, but not many.
