As far as the Pats go, everyone is saying how they are going to break all these records, etc.  People have said the NFL "poked the bear".  I don't know.  Those early Pats teams were so dominant because Brady was a very solid QB (not great yet) and was paid next to nothing so a lot of that cap space was used on veterans that made the team so talented.  Once Brady got paid, they, like other teams (Seattle after paying Wilson) had weaknesses.  Their offensive line has had issues.  They haven't drafted particularly well, and despite outstanding coaching and game plans, that will eventually catch up to you.  I guess we will see....

What I am basing my feeling on, with the Pats is this, SH, after the Chiefs ripped them apart 2 years ago, and they came back home and handed the Bengals their 'hind-ends', I told my son that they would win the SB, because Brady had something to prove and was on a mission.

Again, I hope I'm wrong, but the suspension, could very well be the fuel to the fire that does the same thing this year.

As you said, time will tell!
