Damn straight. Just in the last two weeks they got great games and fabulous ratings (I'm assuming for last night - haven't seen any numbers yet). Not only do you have, "let's see who can knock off the Evil Empire!" but because of our depleted team, the games have been close until the last second ticks away. The NFL and ESPN, and to the extent that it gets more ratings for its football-related shows, are loving it.
The NFL will take a huge hit and drop significantly in popularity when BB & Brady walk away from the game and the Patriots are just another team.

I like your faith, but seriously, how often does Bill Belichick and Tom Brady come along? When those two are no longer on the NE Patriots, chances are that they will become just another franchise. They can still be successful on the field, but they won't achieve this kind of success in a long time if ever again. Johnathan Kraft and the organization will still remain profitable mainly because of the foundation laid by Parcells & Bledsoe and mostly BB & Brady.They will decline when Brady and Bill walk, but I think they're days of being just another team are over. Robert Kraft has put this team on the map and I don't foresee Jonathan Kraft running it into the ground.

They've got "patriot fatigue", I've got "butthurt hater fatigue", we will all have to learn to cope somehow.I dunna know.....I think the Patriots staying relevant is what both organizations want. No? Great story for an upset. Get to beat on them some more and dig up dirt...
I've had many fans from outside this little corner of the country tell me that they suffer from "Patriots Fatigue". Im assuming that might also be a consideration...
