Who were the deep theats in 2004? Patten? That offense actually outscored the 2007 team (even if you exclude te SB) over their final 8 games, 234 to 230.
You don't need "deep threats" you need good reievers. The league is full of guys who can run real fast and still don't get open. Time will tell if NE's receivers/TEs can get the job done, but I am optimistic.

You may be forgetting that the 2004 team had the best RB in the league that year. So, yeah, it's not the same.
Statistically no offense in the history of football outscored the 2007 team. You simply chose the few that support your argument. The 2004 team's offense was much different in scheme than what we've seen in recent years.
With the types of sets we like to run now specifically the empty backfield set you want a deep threat to open up the quick underneath routes we see with welker, edelman & hernandez.
Why do ppl continue to think that the pats teams of old are interchangable with what we have now. We had a skilled and mentally tough veteran Defense with all the components you need in the 3-4 to make it work. Then our Defense was our most valuable asset, now that's not the case. If you have a team that needs to produce more points to win games then you need a deep threat to threaten the D with the big play. Simple
Nothing suprises me with BB..as long as he keeps signing the Brady's, Welkers and Woodheads of the world he will always think he can win with anyone.
I disagree with the trade (if true) but I'm just a fan, what do I know about running a nfl team?
Are you guys forgetting this trade is happening because he requested a trade, acted like a ***** in practice to BB, lost his mind during the national anthem.
He's lost his mind, and I will be one of the proud to hope Chung lays him out.
possibly a touch early to be throwing woodhead in there with brady and welker maybe...
