Brady and NE have set expectations extremely high......I think Brady is #8 in passing yards so far this season.....and they are 9-1.....yet, we see multitude of article asking what is wrong with them ......talk about being victim of their own success....For the last 5-6 years, we see threads about NE or Brady being done...we all know how that turned out....The collapse will happen....hopefully soon....but I can easily see them getting to their 9th consecutive AFCCG.....I can see them at 14-2 or even 15-1....they should be favorite in all 6 remaining games....pretty much every NFL team would sign up for this scenario....The " They are not as good as the last few years " theory if fine and dandy, but if that still makes them a top 4 team, does it really mean anything?...
