I wouldn't be creating AFCE Champs shirts just yet. There is still a ways to go before we can say the guard in the AFCE has changed. Remember our 2-4 divisional record this year.
it's as if your saying, only the jets will improve in the coming years, while the dolphins,pats and bill's decline. i'll believe it when i see it. dulphins beat us twice this year and the pats won the division, so don't count your chickens just yet. and the pats and dulphins have much better draft choices and more of them in the next two years, while our jets have given them away for a guy that can't catch and wants a ton of dough. if anything, those two teams are still going to be dangerous in the future...
....and don't forget, the Pats will be geting back the most dominating 3-4 defensive nose tackle in Kris Jenkins and most electric player in Leon Washington. We are doooomed. oh wait...never mind.
To be fair, we can't be positive whether or not Jenkins or Leon will ever be as effective, especially Jenkins.
I don't understand how anyone can say both that the era is over and that we control the division given how things change from year to year in the NFL. Brady's playing with broken ribs right now, next year he could be a whole new player and the Pats could retool and come back.
The Patriot 'Dynasty' (lol) is OVER They never won a Super Bowl that they didn't cheat in. They illegally contacted Bill Belichick when he was the HC of the NYJ, justifiying it by saying the same thing happened with Bill Parcells (as Will McDonough detailed, Parcells hated Kraft and his underlings and wanted out all year long in 1997. The Jets never contacted Parcells; he wanted out.). They won squeakers against STL, CAR, PHILLY -- who knows what happens if they don't have the illegal taping system ? I like Tom Brady but hate Kraft's smugness, fake move to Hartford, lying about contacting Belichick when he was our coach-in-waiting, accusing us of contacting Parcells (he violated Parcells contract by taking away his GM duties and leaking dirt to friendly sportswriters which incensed Parcells). Oh yeah, the hoodie and the limp-handshakes. Good Riddance and lets see how many New Englanders want to spend big $$$ watching a 2nd-rate football team in a few years in the cold of New England even with a relatively new stadium.
The Patriots dynasty ended the minute that Plaxico Burress caught that 4th quarter touchdown pass from Eli Manning.
Would you guys stop already? The Patriots still own the AFC East. Until we win the division, it's theirs. But, yeah, their "dynasty" ended in 2007.
I can't wait to hear the excuses that all the crybabies on WEEI will say about this assraping. I'm loving this. I hope Belly is tortured by this all offseason.
Leon I'm sure will come back fine...but Jenkins I am worried about...not only the knee injury alone, but the fact he is going to be so out of shape
