True. The Pats had a good run. Yes, I said “had.”
the patriots are designed to be good for the long term. picture the steelers of the past 10 years, with a steady presence at QB. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

There is no doubt they are still good. But teams like the Colts and the future (maybe 2 more years) Bengals have elevated their game to another level. The Pats are now on a slight downswing from that level which just won’t cut it in the AFC.

and your evidence for the Patriots 'downwing' is...?? do you really think the Patriots wouldn't be 12-2 or 11-3 if it wasn't for the injuries?
With another year of the new coaches, and an injury situation that will almost certainly be better, the Patriots will probably be better next year.
