Contract year

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You're going to get incredible football out of Moss this year. It's his last shot at scoring one more final fat contract.

Brady was coming off of a major injury last year and played through more injury. Look what Favre did last year when healthy .. and Favre is older than dirt. Brady isn't.

How bad can a Bellichik coached defense be?

Pretty goddamn mediocre. He's drafted terribly the past few years. And enough with the excuses for the offense already.

The two teams who played in last years Super Bowl are 14th and 15th ... and NE is 16th?

Mayo and Marryweather are quality starters coming into what should be the prime of their career. The rookie CB they took in the first round looked good starting yesterday.

The offense is basically the same group that set the NFL record for points scored in 2007. It's the same offense that went 11-5 under Matt Cassell in 2008.

The offense finished 6th in the NFL in total points scored last year .. despite the "excuses" of injuries to your best players.

It's too early for this s.hit.

Yes, because Indianapolis and New Orleans are known for their defenses. Don't argue with the stats, ROI boy. The Pats' defense hasn't been good in several years and it's the same offense, except three years older and with a crappier offensive line and an even crappier running game. A true contender doesn't get embarrassed at home in the playoffs like that, I don't care what your excuses are. They've done enough.

I hear ya, health is overrated.

Draft Moss in your fantasy league. 3Kings did in the DT Fantasy League last year - and he won the league.

Boo effing hoo. They were healthy enough to win the division, then they took it in the ass at home to the 6-seed. You're lying to yourself if you think the days of their dominance haven't passed.

Even if I was - what the hell do I know? I thought the days of the Colts dominance passed a year and a half ago - and they were big Super Bowl favorites last year even without Bob Sanders.

The days of Moss's dominance obviously haven't passed if you read the reports coming out of the Pats training camp by everyone covering them.

Do you really think Brady is toast at this young of an age? I've seen guys like Rich Gannon and Brett Favre play otherworldly at qb while older than dirt.

The running game will be there at will if Moss is there with the deep ball. That's how offenses end up unstoppable when he gets going.

Torry Holt is a future hall of fame receiver that's younger than Moss - that rookie tight end out of Arizona can block like a mofo - Welker and Edellman are good system guys in the slot.

The only thing I don't feel good about is the offensive line and the defense - but I think there's a good chance both will be competent.
