"#4 - Losing Asante Samuel to free agency hurt the Patriots more than anyone could have imagined. The Patriots paid dearly for it, especially when Rodney Harrison was lost for the season later on. The Patriots were left with useless veteran retread Deltha O'Neal, overrated Ellis Hobbs, still-developing Brandon Meriweather and James (where have you gone, Eugene Wilson?) Sanders. The pass defense was porous all season long, gutted by quarterbacks like Chad Pennington, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Favre. All except the latter are playoff bound. That's how the Patriots used to get things done, with big games against the best. That didn't happen in 2008. "
