Q: You've made the point that the next four or five games will tell us the story of this Patriots team. How do you see this stretch playing out, and will they have the division locked up by the end of it? -- Dean (Taunton, Mass.)
A: I don't think the Patriots will have the division locked up at the end of the stretch, Dean. I could envision them going 3-2 during this five-game span.
Q: Mike, what happened to James Sanders? I haven't heard much of him this year. He's started a lot of games in his career, including on a Super Bowl team, and didn't they give him a contract extension recently? -- John (South Boston, Mass.)
A: John, the surprising emergence of Brandon McGowan has cut into Sanders' playing time significantly. Sanders has played sparingly in recent weeks, and I don't see that changing much given the impact of McGowan. Even rookie Pat Chung was playing ahead of Sanders in the team's most recent game against the Buccaneers. Sanders signed a three-year contract this offseason that averaged around $3 million per season.
