Send NESN.com Patriots Reporter Jeff Howe a Question for His Weekly Mailbag

The Patriots are facing some real adversity for the first time in the 2011 regular season. After blowing a 21-point lead to the Bills, the Pats have to recollect themselves before taking a cross-country flight to play a Raiders team that just disposed of the Jets.

Obviously, the defense has been an issue through portions of three games, and it struggled badly against the Bills. Do you have any questions about that side of the ball? Or are you concerned about Tom Brady or the running game? Anything else on your mind?

Leave your questions here in Jeff Howe's mailbag, and come back Friday to see if he answered your inquiry.
