Default After today... This looks like a 9-7 team as of today..

The future looks bright, but the team is still lacking some weapons to be a threat in the AFC in 2010...

Right now we might be the 5th or 6th best team..

Baltimore, NYJ, Miami, SD and Indy, are light years better than the us, wheather you like to admit or not...

Yes we have Brady, and Belichick but there are still some questions...

OLB- is a huge question mark... , RB who is the back??? and yes WR is a issue..

Why is WR a issue - what will Randy Moss be??? how long is Welker out?? is Holt the next Gaffney or Galloway???, Edleman and Tate ,espically Tate is a huge question mark at best... Cant expect Pryce or Patten to be the awnser...

OLB starters right now are TBC, Nikovitch and Woods... Dont tell me Cunningham will be the starting OLB week 1... He is a year away yet...

As a AFC fav, its the ravens, and we have a chance in the divison, but there are too many questions and key spots to say we are a super bowl or even a playoff team right now...

How can we still be a 9-7 team when we were never one to begin with?

We were a fumble or a great comback by Brady in week 1 from being a 9-7 team this past year...

I would think between 8-10 wins right now

I think the team is going to add some vets and JAGS later on which could help get back to 10 wins again

Its a growing process,this team is quickly getting very young after being the grandpas of the NFL for awhile....hopefully young and talented

Yeah, yeah. You can make the same argument to say we were almost an 11 or 12 win team. Means absolutely nothing.

So we win that game and lose the Bills game 10-6 is still the record, unless you want to talk about that Houston game... But this year could be a 9-7 team...

If the NFL had only 3 quarters last year I think we would have been 13-3

As the old saying goes, it is what it is

well if we were a 12 team win, we might have had a bye , so yeah it ment something.. But if's and buts were candy and nuts everyday would be christmas.. Doesnt matter your right, but this year, has the makings right now with the improvments the Ravens, Jets and Dolphins did , this 2010 team has the makings of a 9-7 team.

Default Re: After today... Still a 9-7 team..

I am going to have to disagree with you here. While the Jets, Ravens and Dolphins improved a lot, I believe we did as well.

The OLB spot will either be Damione Lewis, who is decent, and/or Jermaine Cunningham. Spikes will take over at ILB. At LB, we will have
Lewis/CUnningham -Spikes-Mayo-Thomas/Crable.

Brady has a couple of new weapons. Rob Gronkowski is the most complete TE in the draft. Think Jason Witten. Do you realize how good the pats passing attack will be if we add a Jason Witten type to the team? Him along with Torry Holt and the return of wes welker will make our passing game difficult to stop. Plus Aaron hernandez was the 3rd best TE in the draft - not quite as good as Gronk but still darn good.

Devin McCourty could be the next Ronde Barber. He can play all 4 downs and is physical and a great tackler.

While I agree we did not get better at RB, we still rushed for close to 2000 yards last year. And do you remember what happened in 2002 after we went 9-7, we had a spectacular draft and ended up going 13-3 and winning the super bowl the following year.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "
