Take Heart Pats Fans
Yes, I joke. Yes, Tom Brady gives us a much better chance to win it all, and no, Matt Cassel is not better, nor the second coming of Brady. But you see, that is how I deal with loss like this, humor.
But think about it for a moment. This is still a very good team. We still have a best coach in football, and now he has to prove it. Think back to 2001. Bledsoe gets killed, and this fresh face Tom Brady comes in, and what happens? Yeah we win our first Super Bowl, but what really happened? Think back to that team. This was not the bully on the field. This was not the dominating offense. This was not Brady to Moss. Who were some of the "stars" on offense? Troy Brown, Terry Glenn, Jermaine Wiggins, Damien Woody, Joe Andruzzi, JR Redmond, Antowain Smith, David Patten. How about defense? You remember Terrel Buckley? Otis Smith? Tebucky Jones? How did that Patriots team go 11 - 5? How did that team win a Super Bowl?
Tom Brady was not Tom Brady back then. He was a game manager, and Pats won by coaching, changing game plans to suit opponents. Last year team required little coaching, not like the 2001 team. In 2001 they morphed in each game, and played whatever they needed to play to win, they have to do that now. Now this team is behind the 8 ball, but don't they always like that? This is a better team even without Tom than was in 2001. Let's enjoy the journey.
While of course I would prefer Tom Terrific, I am actually excited for this season, bring it on! This is gonna be fun!

I'm questioning the "best coach in football" idea. He's blown two big games the last two years. Maybe he's falling apart?
