I was looking at this picture in the other thread and got thinking... what an UNBELIEVABLE season this has been.
It's for other people to math out what may happen, but in reality, that we will end this season with a winning a record is amazing. There's been lot's of talk about why and who gets the credit, and whose failures could cost us, but it's pretty unbelievable to think that we will have had an amazing season of battle-testing a lot of young players and perhaps watching several legendary players finish their careers in a fight to finish (Harrison, Bruschi, Seau, Colvin). We will have seen something close to a brilliant season of Quarterbacking from a guy whose travels into the starting roll will be told a million times and whose year of progress has seen the peaks (team records) and valleys (death of a loved-one). A quarterback I assume all of us would now welcome back with open arms if Brady weren't coming back next year.
We will, in all likelihood, see the first starting season of a brilliant young quarterback set as we anticipate the return of a legend. And with him, a group of players, even before FA and the draft, most teams would envy.
It may be hard to sit back and reflect as the race comes down to the wire, but there is no doubt that we have all been given a one heck of a memorable season and it's hard to feel even a BIT worried about how next year will play out. As the interlude of a dynasty, this year has been a lot of fun to watch.
Who would have thought most teams would kill to have our record and success on the year we lost over a dozen major players to injury?
Are you guys enjoying it as much as me? Just a hunch, but I don't think we've seen all the high points this season has to offer, either.
