Default What's the shelf life...
For the Pats as a SB contender? What would have to happen to lengthen that life? (within reason) What would have to happen to shorten it? (again within reason) I'm curious what the window of opportunity is for this franchise in the fan's eyes.

When Brady hangs them up perhaps ...

In the meantime we can draft a QB in the 6th every year until then.

Someone a few weeks ago laid it out this way:

With Brady, they're an automatic playoff team

Brady + (Moss OR good defense) = Super Bowl contender

Brady + Moss + good defense = Super Bowl favorites.

Apologies to someone as I don't recall who broke it down like that, but I think it's perfect.

Currently, I give it until the end of the 2009 season. At that time, Wilfork and must of the offensive line are scheduled to become free agnts.

Not saying that problem cannot be remedied between now and then, but after Brady the lines are still the cornerstones of this team.

Who needs a friggin window or shelf life? Did the Giants need one?

You win championships by kicking butt in the playoffs, and it can happen any year by any team up to the challenge.

The pieces are in place for the next 4 yrs.. But you got to take advantage of it when its with you... The last 2 yrs could have put us in a the best sports dynasty ever.. But then again Espn will find a way to diminish it..


The next 4 yrs,as long as Belichick and Brayd are here , we will be fine.

Can't believe they left Belichick off the list. Dude has proven that he is the constant for SB appearances. Just ask Parcells.
