2006 against Miami.
Even with Brady, I've seen the exact same movie before.
We're not immune.
If i had to guess what happened, I believe the reality of not having Brady for a sure-fire Super Bowl run really settled in this week.
Not enough time to digest it last week, especially with the hated Jets on the menu.
This was a huge emotional letdown today for everyone, and we're all facing the reality of not having Brady. It's not as bad as today, but the Vegas odds really point to the reality. 20 to 1. Not good.
On another front, please tell me that Wade Phillips will not actually win a Super Bowl this year.
Also, I rooted against the Buffalo Bills for the first time in 15 years today (other than when the Patriots are playing them) and that right there tells me this is not the type of year we've been used to seeing.
