The result of yesterday's game was undoubtedly a bitter pill to swallow and might sting for a few days, but Pats fans ultimately have no real reason to be disappointed. It frustrates me when people say Brady is washed up and not what he used to be. It may have a touch of truth to it, but any notion that he doesn't have what it takes to win another championship is ridiculous.
The truth is, Brady lost his top FIVE receiving options last year and was forced to piece together an offense with rookies and secondary guys. Throw in all the other injuries and it's just a mess. A loss to the best offense in the game in the AFC Championship is nothing to lower your heads for. It just goes to show that winning a championship is really hard when you lose Gronkowski, Spikes, Mayo, Wilfork, and guys like that.
I'm not a football expert and I don't claim to be. But Brady will be back. These injured guys will be back. Look at it this way: it's like the Patriots will be signing all these free agents with the amount if core players joining the squad. I still think we're a piece or two away on offense for Tom Brady to lead to that elusive fourth ring.
His window is closing. Everyone knows it. You can't expect to win the Superbowl with Julian Edelman as your number 1 option. He need's more weapons at his disposal. I don't know why Belichick hasn't made these adjustments. As Felger puts it, Belichick the coach has been cut off at the knees by Belichick the General Manager.
I could go on a rant but I won't. I still have faith in Brady and Belichick. We will get that ring.
See you next year.
