New England Patriots 2009 Schedule

Date Teams

September 14 Buffalo @ New England 7:00 (all times EST)
Buffalo Bills are looking to open their season on Monday night against the Patriots. Tom Brady will be back behind center. The big question is, will Brady's knee hold up for his first game back? Look to see TO (Terrell Owens) in his newly assigned Bills jersey (which will be a throwback for the night).

September 20 New England @ New York Jets 1:00
New England hits road against the New York Jets. Let's see if the Jets can improve on their 9-7 2008 record and make it to the playoffs behind new coach Rex Ryan.

September 27 Atlanta @ New England 1:00
Matt Ryan is back for his second season as Quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. This Boston College rookie earned himself the offensive rookie of the year award last season. Do you think the Pats can shut him down?

October 4 Baltimore @ New England 1:00
Does Flacco have what it takes in this week four game? Flacco has a lot to prove against the offensive of the Patriots.

October 11 New England @ Denver 4:15
In week five New England travels to Mile High Stadium to to attempt to wrangle in the Broncos. Can the Patriots stop the second ranked offense in NFL last season? Josh McDaniels can only hope the altitude takes his mentor's breath away.

October 18 Tennessee @ New England 4:15
Will Tennessee continue to run the ball all over the place this year? Look for Johnson and White to take turns running the ball. It was tough to score against Tennessee in 2008 what will happen this year? If the Patriots can shut down the Titians running game then they should be able to pull off the win.

October 25 New England vs. Tampa Bay 1:00
Playing at Wembley Stadium in London, New England and Tampa Bay play their part in the NFL's International Series. Can newly acquired Rookie Head Coach Raheem Morris give the Bucs the push they need to beat the Pats?

Bye Week

November 8 Miami @ New England 1:00
Coming off of a Bye week will New England prove that they made good use of the time off when the Dolphins come to Foxborough? Can the Dolphins pick up a cornerback this season that has what it takes to stop Randy Moss?

November 15 New England @ Indianapolis 8:20
New England travels to Indy for the classic Manning/Brady showdown. Can the the Patriots hold back the running of Addai without Vrabel?

November 22 New York Jets @ New England 4:15
The Jets are in town. Can Brady make the plays he needs to take a win for the team? The Jets didn't do so bad last year, but without Farve can they achieve the next step and make it to a super bowl?

November 30 New England @ New Orleans 8:30
New England travels to the Superdome to face off with the Saints. Can New England on their second Monday night stint stop the number one offense of the 2008 season?

December 6 New England @ Miami 8:20
Patriots learned in 2008 that every game counts. In their visit to Miami the Pats will need to follow through to combat last years #1 division threat.

December 13 Carolina @ New England 1:00
The Panthers are going to need some help on the D-Line if they hope to stop the Pats. The Panthers need some new talent on the line especially if they are not going to have Peppers. New England should take advantage of this weak line and pound the ball in.

December New England @ Buffalo 1:00
This AFC East match up should be a good one. Will Owens help kick start Buffalo's 25th ranked offense? Will the Bills have a pass rush this year to put pressure on Brady?

December 27 Jacksonville @ New England 1:00
Jacksonville flies in to face New England at home. Do the Pats have the edge in this cold showdown in the North East?

January 3 New England @ Houston 1:00
This week the #1 wide receiver Andre Johnson competes with #2 Wes Welker. Who will win out? Is it too hard to tell?
