Ho hum, another Super Bowl for the Pats. (Hello visiting team trolls, yes we are spoiled, yes we are arrogant, deal with it).

However February 7, 2016 would be THE BIG ONE:

- Brady 5 Rings - Most for any QB ever
- Belichick 5 Rings - Most for any HC ever

The Game will be at the 49ers new stadium...........Tom Brady's hometown.

Notice how last year at MetLife, Joe Willie Namath was the local HOF face of the festivities?
This year, Kurt Warner was the local HOF face of the festivities?

Next year in SF? Yup, Tom Brady's childhood idol who stabbed him in the back last week.

Legacy Game.

Maybe Jerry Rice would be the face of the game, as you say? Or maybe Charles Haley!!!

Will Belichick take a run at going undefeated in 2015? It was clear in 2007 that Belichick wanted to achieve it and played for the undefeated season, then it became more about winning another Super Bowl, now that he has satisfied that goal again do you think he takes one more run at it with Tom Brady?

This is the opponents, looking at it pre-draft and before the start of free agency; their opponents are not that concerning.

Home - Buffalo, Miami, NY Jets, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh
Away - Buffalo, Miami, NY Jets, Houston, Indianapolis, Dallas, NY Giants, Denver

Bring back Revis, McCourty, Vereen, and a few others then add some solid players in the draft, a few depth pieces in free agency and I think it is achievable.
 
It would be cool for the last 2 repeats to be the Patriots also.

Definitely getting a little ahead of things but on paper the schedule and the potential barriers to the Super Bowl aren't overwhelming.
 
I wonder if the 2015 team can pick up right where it left off in week 1 or if they are going to need four extra weeks of training camp to sort things out like they did in 2014.

At that point, they hadn't figured out the offensive line, Gronk wasn't quite back, LaFell was still being onboarded, Kembrell and Dobson were still in the mix at WR, Browner was still suspended etc.

If roughly the same squad comes back, they can start the season winning.
 
I'm already getting excited about next season. I think Belichick is very cognizant of history and I think he would love to go for another balls to the wall FU roadshow of a season.

I hope Shula has some oxygen tanks on standby.
 
not really hometown.........the new stadium is much further from San Mateo than Foxboro is from Boston

not sure why they're still called 'San Francisco'
 
I'm going to go full on pipe dream for this one:

Patriots go 19-0, redeeming themselves for 2007 and making Brady and BB the best ever. Roger Goodell, having been fired during this offseason, pulls the gun out of his mouth just long enough to watch Don Shula present Belichick with the Lombardi, while Joe Montana hands the Super Bowl MVP over to Brady.

This has been posted elsewhere, but it is just so good:

That's exactly what I was thinking. Brady winning his 5th in the home of the 49ers would be awesome. Even more so if he has to beat the 49ers to do so.

Road schedule is brutal. The AFC East has top-flight pass rushing defenses, if not potent offenses, and all of the away out-of-division teams could be very good. Bill O'Brien is doing a great job re-building Houston, the Giants seem to have a good year after an off-year, and Indy, Dallas, and Denver at their buildings are no gimme.

It looks like another 12-4 year to me.
 
Kraft mentioned that if the Pats win, they would have won 10% of all Superbowls. You think he wants it?

If Brady wins this, there will only be three football players discussed as the GOAT: Tom Brady, Jim Brown and Otto Graham. Case closed.

As for the greatest coach, only one. Bill Belichick. As a HC or DC, how many superbowls has he been in? 10? 1/5th of all games played? That is crazy.
 
With a healthy team we should be able to handily beat Denver in Denver this time around. We always own Kubiak and Phillips. Which kind of surprises me that they hired those two.

Indy? I don't think anything needs to be said about this. This is a guaranteed win by at least 20 points.

Dallas may be a tough game, although they will likely be without Murray next season.
 
I doubt joe montana is going to want to deliver the lombardi to brady and the pats.
 
the @ Dallas game is gonna be a beauty...probably a monday nighter for sure. I might fork out some serious dough to go fly out to see that one. I've always wanted to see that stadium in person. Dallas was very balanced this year and could have beat Seattle in their house.
 
As someone mentioned, stay relatively healthy and it's hard to imagine us not being right back here.

I doubt we stay as healthy as we did this year but as long as Gronk/Brady/Revis are healthy at the right time, its going to once again take some chicken**** loft it up to your scrub wr for multiple long gains and miracle catches/bounces for someone to even be in position to beat us.
