Well, last week Bill Williamson, in his Power Ratings column, didn't think so. He had the Pats #9. Just like the other columnists of the esteemed Post, they've considerably toned down the rhetoric this week (has Pats #5).
It's interesting. In it's pre-first week NFL analysis, the Post labeled the Pats as probably the best in the AFC East, but "no longer a dangerous team". Of course, the Broncos were labeled a serious team with "Super Bowl asperations".
This is the kind of thing I think these guys are talking about.
So of course, this begs the question, exactly what media has been "suckling for years" viz the Pats?
