Yes, and...
We got Seymour done. Right there you have a successful offseason. The fact that with all said and done, we're between 3 mil under cap, and slightly over cap and being penalized (the range of guesses I've read lately,) should suggest there simply wasn't the cash this year to do everything we could have wished for. Brilliant rearview mirror analysis, I guess. But there it is... the in-season pickups have come through great, though they might or might not end up as "team building" pieces. Caldwell and Gaffney have far outplayed their pre-Pats potential, however, and we can only look at their blossoming here as a success (whether one-year wonders, or permanent additions.)
I'm still waiting on pins and needles for tomorrow night of course.. but this is the real story this season, from a Pats fan point of view: We're 60 minutes away from a Super Bowl berth, in a year when we weren't "supposed" to win the division.
When are pundits going to learn to stop counting out the dominant team of the 2000s?
