    Dude... this going to mentally work them over.

    They'll win the AFC East, but the downturn has begun.

    Age.

    History.
     
  5. History?
    Two years ago, they went out in the second round of the playoffs to Denver.
    Last year, they lost the AFC championship game in the final minute to the eventual world champions.
    This year, they go 18-1, break every offensive record in the book, and lose the Super Bowl in the last half-minute.
    Yeah, the historical trend is clear.

    Age?
    Outside of linebacker and left tackle, where?

    I agree with F_B, but only if Moss still plays for NE. If Moss leaves, they will still be a playoff team, but not a 14-2, 15-1 type of team.

    Replacing defensive players is not an impossible task. Pittsburgh does it every year or every other year it seems and still puts a good unit on the field.
     
  7. Excellent points, 93d.
    I think the most interesting question is whether or not they franchise Moss and how he takes to it.
    That'll be the test of the new Randy Moss.

    NFL teams are able to go 15-4 or 14-5 and still win the Super Bowl.
    The Giants will be the most interesting to watch, to see if Strahan retires or anything like that shakes their chemistry up.
    They have lots of younger talent there, though.
    I think Pats will continue to be among the league's best records next season.

    Patriots should also get Rosevelt Colvin back from a foot injury so if either Bruschi or Seau return (odds would be 1 of them decides to call it quits) they wouldn't be counted on as every down LB's like they both had to be in the second half and playoffs.
