The Patriots were great for 4 years and that is a good, long run. The thing is that Miami isn't that great so unless their is a suprise team in the East then the Patriots could still make the playoffs. It should be a close race between Maimi and New England. Whats funny is that my neighbor who moved here from Boston thinks the Patriots are the class of the NFL but that Tom Brady isn't that great. I don't understand, the biggest reason they are still good, not great but good, is because of Tom Brady.
