They got manhandled by the Chargers last week in the second half, so the question is have the returned to earth this season and is the Dynasty over?
I'll say this, they definitely aren't the team of old, who won a couple Super Bowls in a row. They're still an above average team, but I think the Dynasty is coming to an end, I honestly do.
There secondary is so depleted. They really need some guys to step it up a notch. Corey Dillon only got the ball 14 times last game he needs to carry it more and Tom Brady's the leader. He needs to find a way to win. Prove hes a winner and in times of need get his team the big W at the end of the game.

Well when you have to play the Raiders, Panthers, Steelers, Chargers, Falcons and Broncos your not going to be 6-0 your going to lose some games. Who cares, they will be the best team in the NFL East and make the playoffs, Brady is 9-0 in playoffs, playing without Law, Seymour and others last year. Do I think they can get to the superbowl, I don't know I like the Bengals chances but to say the Pats won't get close to the superbowl is funny. They will probably have seed # 3 and will play the Broncos or Dolphins or someone, who they can beat. Then playing the Steelers/Colts would be tough but... they've done it before. I will guarnte the Pats beat the Viks this week.

I think its good all these good teams get to play the Pats. If they beat them it gives them a lot of confidence later in the season.
