    Of course they are a threat...but not the juggernaut they were two years ago. Brady is great because he is clutch...as is Vinatieri. And it was Adam who won two Superbowls, not Tom. As for BB, he is certainly a HOF coach, but he still needs players to win games no matter how good he is. And while it's a homer pick, we might just have his twin brother down here in Miami. Remember, St Nick has never had a losing season, even working with the crap Wanny left him.

    Brady did set up AV for the 2 GW's and Wanny didn't leave the cupboard bare. They still had alot of talent and outside of QB and Brown the other players were acquired under Wanny and you have alot of good skill position players on O.

    Aside from talking Williams out of retirement, getting now HC Linehan and arguably the best O-Line Coach Houck in Miami - Nick acquired Traylor, Holliday, Carter, Spragan, and Shulters - all of whom either started or played significant roles all of last season. Don't forget Daniels and Crowder, who both played very, very well last season.

    I see what you're saying though, McMike, Chambers, Booker, and that stellar offensive line were enough in themselves to win 9 games......

    The core of the team was still the same as that Wanny had to work with. Even Bellicheck has publicly recognized that Saban is a force to be reconned with.

    Yeah. This is a weird one. The Steelers should play the Bengals, Colts, Broncos, or even Pats. Not the Fish.

    I'm sure the Steelers will be favored. But I'm still happy that the Phins are getting the attention.
