BOSTON, Mass. - September 05, 2008 - After a winless pre-season, the New England Patriots start the regular season this Sunday, at home, against the Kansas City Chiefs.

There are plenty of questions about just how good the Patriots will be this season. They're coming off their 16-0 regular season last year and their Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.

For answers to some of those questions, WBUR's Deb Becker is joined by Mike Reiss, Patriots beat writer for the Boston Globe.
