The Patriots remind me of the Yankees of this year... I love the Yankees, but it took us halfway through the Season to finially get hot. Players such as A.Rod, Jeter, Abreau, Giambi... Im sorry but the whole feeling like a "Team" and chemesty just aint there... And in Football 16 games is not enough time to get that chemesty.
Im sorry but the Patriots are the best team money can buy as of right now with big name players such as Moss, Stallworth and A.Thomas.
A.Thomas may be a really good LB... But he is far from great, what made him great in Baltimore was the players around him. He was more of a product of a great system out in Baltimore... And I'm sorry but this Pats team has nothing on the Ravens D.
The Ravens D line had Suggs, Ngata, and Price on the D-Line last season. Im sorry but J.Green is no Suggs... Wilkfok is better than Ngata and Price is just as good as T.Warren.
A.Thomas was playing alongside R.Lewis, and once again... I'm sorry... But Teddy B is no Ray Lewis, not even close... R.Lewis is a top 3 MLB in all of Football. The Ravens also had one of the best secondary with two #1 CB's in C.McCalister who is a much better coverage corner than A.Samuel... Add the fact that they also have Rolle starting on the other side= better than any other CB on the Pats other than Samuel. E.Reed is freaking amazing... No way Sanders or any other Safety in the pats secondary can even sniff the level of play as a E.Reed.
Im sorry but that Ravens D gave A.Thomas so much time to make plays, and this years NE D is not even on the same playing field as last years Ravens D.
I just think the chemesty will be gone with this years NE team with Moss, Welker, Stallworth, Seymour out, Harrison out, and Maroneys first year starting.
