Contract year

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Everyone is down on New England and picking them to finish 3rd in their division because of how they faded last year.

Brady was playing through 6 broken ribs, Moss had a seperated shoulder at the start of the season and developed a back injury so bad that he couldn't touch the top of his helmet without feeling pain. Welker got hurt in the final reg season game - and his replacement Edellman was a college qb the year prior and had to play with a broken forearm late in the season.

That's not a healthy team .. but they still won a tough AFC East despite fading down the stretch anyway.
