They should just hand the Pats the trophy now and save all the trouble....lol.
If AB plays like AB can, they have a great chance. I got a feeling Gronk will be wearing the pats uniform this year too. mark my words!
The Pats always have a great chance, regardless (it seems) of who they run out there.
Tedy Bruschi, George McGinnis, Ty Law, Lawyer Malloy, Rodney Harrison, etc on Defense.
Corey Dillon, Randy Cross, Wes Welker, THE ENTIRE OFFENSIVE LINE...they all come and go, except for two people.
The Pats have had the perfect storm of the GOAT Head Coach and GOAT QB together for almost two decades, and the results speak for themselves. As a Falcons fan who fell victim to that "evil empire", I actually admire their success.
That said, I always loved the Silver and Black when Madden, The Snake, The Tooz, The Assassin, The Mad Stork, etc were suiting up. My fellow DB's and I would wrap roll after roll of tape on the forearms and tried to emulate Tatum and Atkinson as heat-seeking missiles in shoulder pads while playing High School ball (although almost all of those hits would be flagged now). Hope the Raiders get back to respectability.
