Re: If it was your choice...
We should want a team that wins, but it seems that the teams that have won the Super Bowl this decade (besides New Orleans) were teams with strong defences and running games.
Re: If it was your choice...
let's take a look at the Super Bowl winners this decade instead of just last year. Ravens, Pats, Tampa, Pittsburgh, and even Indy when the won, all had strong defences and good running games. The last 3 games the Pats went out to lower seeded teams because those...
I've been longing for a return to the '04 style offense for the last few years. The last 3 playoff games we've lost to teams who pound the ball. We got a great TE in Gronk, let's get a FB and run the ball. Brady is deadly on playaction, but we need to run the ball well to set it up.
Re: Realistic talent evaluation
And this is a big reason why this team hasn't won in the playoffs in a long time. Aside from New Orleans, look at the teams that have won the SuperBowl this decade. Pittsburgh, the Giants, Tampa, Ravens, & the Pats 3 Super Bowl teams won with power running...

The Pats need to be able to pound the ball in the playoffs which...
I would have to say for the most part it's the players as well. Between '01 -'05 the Pats had the best front 7 in league. They played Belichicks 3-4 about as well as you can play it. They also had much better DB's (Law, Harrison) then they have now.
Our outside LB's are not even close to...
I disagree with you on McGinnest. I've heard Brady speak about how great a leader Willie was and how he was top dog in the locker room. Rodney and Brady spoke about Willie's work ethic and how he'd be 1st guy in the complex working out in the morning.
That is what leadership is. Being the...
My 1st post here. Pats fan from Vancouver.
1) Pats win AFC East & finish 11-5
2) Brady throws 36 TD's. Moss catches 14 of them. Gronk catches 10.
3) Favres game streak comes to an end
4) Jets finish 8-8. Sanchez will throw more picks then TD's
5) A RB will win MVP over Brady, Bree's &...
