The Pats at least went 11-5 without Brady for an entire season. It will take a miracle for this team to get to 5-11.
I think you are forgetting that they had Matt Cassel and he was a more than adequate replacement.

Colts have a retired old guy, and a Chad Painter who is more equipped to hold a clipboard than run an offense
