Let the Hyberbole Begin

I'd love that to be true but no. You had an ascending GOAT QB and an established GOAT HC (regardless what the haters will say) and a stacked offense, with a core of the team that had already won 3 Lombardis. This 2026 team is on the rise but they haven't accomplished anything remotely similar.

I see it as a 2007 lite

Theyre not going to be as good as 07 but there are some parrallels here, both qbs didn’t have near the weapons they had prior so a new level is likely being unleashed here.

Brown and Doubs i predict will elevate maye’s game a good deal, just not to the level of what Moss and Welker did for Tom in 07. Moss-Brady was a generational pairing, still crazy to me nobody thought Moss was worth more than a 4th despite the concerns.

I guess ESPN doesn't think we're like the 2007 Patriots...14th in their power rankings

I am not comparing the teams. On paper, they are not that far off, but it's how you execute that matters.

.

Yup, if Maye, Brown, and Doubs execute as well as Brady, Moss and Welker, we can then look at the rest of the Offense and see whether we are really not that far off.

Personally, I believe that our Offense is very far off at QB and WR, and as I said I haven't detailed the rest.

Of course, we could be part of the real competition, instead:
