A revis signing easily puts the pats above Denver. Some people have 0 concept of matchups and why some teams have success over others, probably the same people that thought Denver would beat Seattle. Denver has done nothing but slightly downgrade on the offensive side of the ball and upgraded at the safety and corner positions. I don't think Ware is a significant upgrade over what they got from Phillips.
Long story short: The Patriots acquiring the best corner in football along with getting Gronk, Mayo and company back will put them ahead of a Denver team that was not much better than them to begin with.
Phillips came into the league in 2004 ,and he has totaled 80 sacks with a best year of 11sacks.
Ware drafted a year later has a total of 117 sacks , and has had 11 sacks at least 7 times. This is what you are calling an insignificant upgrade. Also the patriots are not getting Revis we will not match the top offer ,and Revis is not giving a discount.
The players coming back are not corners nor pass rushers so what you saw in the Afccg is not changing.
We will win our division and maybe even get the afccg is everything goes right ,but that's about it.
