The Dynasty Is Over

I posted this week two after Brady went down. I know you remember it. It was titled:
“The Dynasty Is Over”
I heard a lot of people compare Cassel replacing Brady to when Brady came in for an injured Bledsoe back in 2001. If you believe that, then you have no place in the world of sports talk. When Brady came in for Bledsoe, it turned out to be an upgrade. Brady wasn’t filling in for a QB who was busy winning championships. Brady wasn’t replacing an MVP who was breaking touchdown records. Brady wasn’t filling in on a team that was in the middle of a dynasty. Brady helped to make a good team better and Cassel has zero chance on improving on the Patriots record breaking season of a year ago. There is only one way for Cassel and the Patrotss to go. The good teams you barely beat last year with Brady at the helm will have their revenge this
year. Problem is the Patriots aren’t playing to many good teams during the regular season. So regular season success is almost guaranteed. In that division you get 8 wins just for showing up. A championship, FORGET IT! Bottom line is,……the dynasty is over!
If you are one of those people who believe that Tom Brady is one of the best QB’s to ever play the game. Which I am not! Then you must also believe that the Patriots are in serious trouble without him. You can’t talk about Brady over the last seven seasons like he’s an NFL immortal, and then say we’ll be fine without him. WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYELASH!!!
Do I have to remind you that you didn’t win the superbowl last year,……and you HAD Tom Brady. Do I have to remind you that you are three years removed from a championship WITH TOM BRADY. Now you think that you have a chance without him. It’s good to be optimistic, but I prefer to be realistic. It’s easy to say that the Pats will be fine during the regular season. I agree, they will be fine. After all they have the easiest schedule in the league. What a JOKE! They play 16 games and ONLY 4 of those games are against teams with winning records last year. My point is the Patriots with their POPCORN schedule THEY could go 11-5 with any QB. However, THEY WILL NOT WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP!!! The dynasty is OVER!!!!

illogical
This season can’t count cause of Brady’s injury, since it’s the Brady/Belichick dynasty really.
"These players, a lot of other people didn't believe in them, but they believe in themselves. And that is all that matters."- Bill Belichick

Yeah But
You’ll be 4 years removed from a championship. It’s unusual for a dynasty. I think you can win again, but Is it pasrt of that dynasty. Is it part of the run??

how can u say that the dynasty is over. i believe NE is still the best team in the league. if you take away the starting QB, starting RB, Starting SS, and Starting OLB from any other team in the league, which of those teams would still be 8-5 and in the hunt for the playoffs? No one. I challenge anyone to name me a team!!!

Exactly my sentiment
In fact, I smell a story in the works… ;-)
