Everyone is down on New England and picking them to finish 3rd in their division because of how they faded last year.

Brady was playing through 6 broken ribs, Moss had a seperated shoulder at the start of the season and developed a back injury so bad that he couldn't touch the top of his helmet without feeling pain. Welker got hurt in the final reg season game - and his replacement Edellman was a college qb the year prior and had to play with a broken forearm late in the season.

That's not a healthy team .. but they still won a tough AFC East despite fading down the stretch anyway.

The Pats are on the decline dude, start accepting it.

You're going to get incredible football out of Moss this year. It's his last shot at scoring one more final fat contract.

Brady was coming off of a major injury last year and played through more injury. Look what Favre did last year when healthy .. and Favre is older than dirt. Brady isn't.

How bad can a Bellichik coached defense be?

Pretty goddamn mediocre. He's drafted terribly the past few years. And enough with the excuses for the offense already.

The two teams who played in last years Super Bowl are 14th and 15th ... and NE is 16th?

Mayo and Marryweather are quality starters coming into what should be the prime of their career. The rookie CB they took in the first round looked good starting yesterday.

The offense is basically the same group that set the NFL record for points scored in 2007. It's the same offense that went 11-5 under Matt Cassell in 2008.

The offense finished 6th in the NFL in total points scored last year .. despite the "excuses" of injuries to your best players.

Yes, because Indianapolis and New Orleans are known for their defenses. Don't argue with the stats, ROI boy. The Pats' defense hasn't been good in several years and it's the same offense, except three years older and with a crappier offensive line and an even crappier running game. A true contender doesn't get embarrassed at home in the playoffs like that, I don't care what your excuses are. They've done enough.
