What about these teams and how they haven't won a Super Bowl in a lot more years or never

Negative - it will be Denver again (if Manning is still there) plus Indianapolis will probably be ahead of the Patriots....Pats will do their usual sign over the hill 30+ year old free agents and cut or IR 90% of them and then the draft will yield perhaps one guy who can make plays....I am willing to bet that going into next season, the Pats will be the favorites of the AFC. The Patriots were decimated with injuries this year and made it to the final four.
Mayo and Vollmer will definitely be back. Wilfork and Kelly may be back. Right there it is a big improvement to the front seven of the defense and offensive line.
Other things that to consider:
- Other than Brady, Mankins, Gregory, Connolly, Wilfork, and Kelly; the Pats have no starters or key role players north of 30 on the roster next year right now. This is a relatively young roster.
- Collins came on during the tail end of the season. Historically, defenders that the Pats ease into the line up and come on at the end of their rookie season tend to have big jumps their second season (see Seymour and Ty Warren for examples)
- Dobson will be healthy and he and Thompkins will have a complete offseason. Typically, WRs make huge jumps from year one to year two (which is relative because many WRs never become good).
- Amendola will be back and healthy (yes, I know. For how long?)
- Gronk should be back and healthy (Ditto)
- Hightower should benefit from the return of Mayo since he will move back to his natural position which he did after Spikes went down and his play improved.
The only wild card the Pats have are whether Edelman or Talib come back. Both leaving would leave significant holes. I think they can fill the other bigger holes through free agency and the draft.
Gresh and Zolak worked him over pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised.CHB on 98.5 now.....bring your hate
Ronald McDonald.He does make some good points, but it comes from the place of "I just don't like Bill and the organization" rather than anything resembling objective analysis.
Beyond that, it's hard to take a grown man with a perm too seriously.

Shaughnessy: Fading Patriots are lucky Broncos didn't beat them much worse - The Denver Post
Came across this article by Shaughnessy,he made a lot of good points on losing back to back AFC Championship, on Brady running out of time, on this team being vulnerable, and last, the whole Welker situation where it appears that we messed up.
He may not be liked here but it's hard to disagree when we keep losing big games.
Hearing dan patrick calling out the boston media and CHB at the 30 min mark

calling the media in boston spoiled and how this pats season would be a great story in any other city.
Could you link or name that clip please? I'd love to catch that clip, but that page is full of media and i don't know which one you're referring to.
Another great thread. Yes, we should listen to the one that roots for failure.
We'll take your suggestion and bench Brady in favor of Mallet, since we have the second youngest team in the league I'm sure Carrot Top will be optimistic.
You're headed for poster of the year in bizzaro world.
No, I'm not reading that crap, he probably wrote it before the game.
looks like your feelings were hurt when i said that. I don't have a Brady can do no wrong mentality.
