At least Four

Brady will be entering his forties soon, so how much more success do you think the Patriots will succeed before he retires?

 

Hopefully just four because with Peyton probably retiring, that means the AFC may have a shot to send other teams to the Super Bowl for a change.

The Pats finished what 3-5 to end the year ? It wouldn't surprise me if Brady won another , I just wouldn't bet on it .

 

That had more to do with injuries than anything else. The Pats during the last 8 weeks basically had no receivers to throw too and no runningbacks, plus their line was beat up. Yesterday they just got plainly beat, but the rest of the game they lost during the regular season had more to do with their injuries than anything else IMO.

Hopefully just four because with Peyton probably retiring, that means the AFC may have a shot to send other teams to the Super Bowl for a change.

Just going over it my head, the last 15 QB representatives from the AFC: Brady x 6, Manning x 4, Big Ben x 3, Flacco x 1, and Gannon x 1.

I think he gets one more.

 

With the likes of Butler, Hightower, Collins, Ninko, and Jones they have a defense that is going to be among the league's elite for the next few seasons.

 

Edelman and Gronk give them a good start on the offensive side. Lewis and Blount will be back next year as well which will give the offense a boost, as should their actual starting offensive line.

 

If they could add a WR that can stretch the field, Alshon Jeffery, Marvin Jones, Travis Benjamin to name a few, they'll be right back here again next season.

 

I'm guessing the Bears will franchise Jeffrey.

I say one more...

 

It would be hard to believe they will have as many injuries in future years as this one...it was just a staggering year with injuries. To be as close as they were this year to the SB with all the injuries is a testament to how good B and B are. They NEED a WR to stretch the field and they need to beef up the O line. Really not that many things to fix. D should be solid for a while.
