The window is open as long as Brady is at or near his current level of play. Whether we win again imo will depend on sustaining the defense we had this year. So will we be able to retain flowers or really hit a home run in fa/draft to fill his shoes? And will dmc / chung experience any kind of dropoff? Also dt is a question mark with brown and shelton, for the right price theyll be back or will need replaced (not a tall order imo but still a need). Gronk will likely need replaced as im leaning towards he retires, not a ton in terms of overall production but his run blocking + the 2 or 3 huge catches he made in the clutch this postseason would be a huge loss.
All in all, given that we have a lot of high draft picks and good cap situation (especially if gronk does hang em up) i feel confident about the next 2-3 years and feel one more ring is a strong possibility with hopefully 3 more deep runs. Although We did have overall good luck with being healthy at the right time too this year. An injury to someone like Edelman or dmc/flowers if theyre back would of course be a huge blow.
