Yes, the NFL season technically opens with every team having an equal chance to reach the Super Bowl, but injuries and suspensions have put a few teams in early holes.Teams expected to contend?could get off to slow starts if they are handcuffed by too many problems, while poor?teams could be hopeless if they are burdened by injuries and suspensions.Heres my ranking of the 10 teams handcuffed the most to begin the season:?1. New England PatriotsThe Patriots have the best roster among these teams, but they have problems. It starts with the four-game suspension of quarterback Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Rigght tackle Sebastian Vollmer is on the physically unable to perform list and could miss the season. Mickey Morandini Cubs Jersey. Running back Dion Lewis has been slow coming off his ACL injury and is also on the PUP list. Last week, dependable defensive end?Rob Ninkovich was suspended for four games for a PED violation. Despite these issues, the Patriots probably will start out with a 2-2 or 3-1 record and eventually win the AFC East. The only problem is?these early issues could cost them home-field advantage in the playoffs. ' ' '
