IMO this pats team is more talented than any of the Super-Bowl teams.
It remains to be seen how good a TEAM they are though. If they can work in all the new faces seemlessly, they have to be the odds on favorite to win the Super-Bowl.
Geez, I can't believe I just said that............
I can't believe you just said that either.... I bet someone hijacked your account...
Anyways, one of the things that may surprise you is that the Pats have probably had more "new faces" on each of their SB teams than most other teams have had. And they have been able to incorporate them nearly seamlessly.
The new faces on the Pats (righ now) are Kyle Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Marcellus Rivers, Dante Stallworh and Adalius Thomas. Also the rookies Kareem Brown and Brandon Meriweather. But look at the leadership they still have. Seau, Bruschi, Harrison, Brady, Seymour, Izzo, Troy Brown.
Only Brady, Brown, Bruschi, Vrabel, Izzo, Seymour and Light remain from the SB 36 team. In addition, only Warren, Koppen, Neal, Samuel, Wilson, Harrison, Wilfork, Green, Colvin, and Gay remain from the SB 39 team. So, in 3 years, the Pats have replaced all but 17 of their players. That's pretty amazing when you look at it.
