Beginning of the End for the Pats?

if the Pats can get back some of the injured players especially Edlemen they will be fine for the playoffs. The comment made by someone saying Denver exposed thier weaknesses obviously didn't watch the game and the terrible officiating espically in the 4th quarter. New England should actually be 13-3 with the number 1 seed. The Patriots are great because they know how to win 6 Superbowl appearances and 4 wins with Brady owning or sharing almost all of playoff records. As for Brady's age he looked as good this year as ever and I think he'll probably pay at a high level until 42 or so and that gives him another 3 years minimum as an elite QB. He is the best ever and has proven it time and again. Are they done? They won the Superbowl last year right? If the can get healthy they have to be the favorites to win it all again.

For the last ten years, this question has been asked and many of the supposed people in the know. Claim it is the end for them. Every year the teams they beat always say the best team didn't win, that the pats don't have the top notch talent, that they overachieve. What they have done over the last 15 years supposedly can't be done in todays NFL. We all know it has to eventually end but as long as the organization stays in tact, they will continue to do more with less.

They just won a super bowl, and went 12-4. When you're without your top receiver and defensive player stuff like this is bound to happen. Josh Mcdaniels did not bring a good gameplay to plate today. Obviously he underestimated the Dolphins but Brady is the GOAT. I wouldn't be surprised if he holds up the trophy another time this year.

It's possible. Sooner or later it will happen, but the Pats organization has a history of making the right moves and someone needs to step up in the division in order to make it happen

As long as Bill Belichick is coaching them, I think they'll be around. Believe it or not, he is much more vital to the Patriots' success than Tom Brady is.

Everything goes in cycles, and if The Patriots dominance lasts any longer The NFL won't even be fun to watch.

Oh I hope so. I'm sick of them.

But I really don't trust them, I would not be surprised at all if they were just playing possum right now so they don't appear to be a big threat and other teams will under estimate them.

More likely (dislike 'em)

Once Denver exposed them, it was a free fall. They have a lot of work to do to get back on top.

Maybe
