Always just one injury away.... ie. Brady. Imagine starting Casell, beginning this week......
Team is the real deal, but as was said Monday night, if they have the Division won by the first week of November, what's to say that Belichek doesn't rest the starters, even plays into blowing a game, if only to keep their focus on one thing only...winning the SuperBowl. He will keep them from feeling invincible, and nothing does that better than losing one. If Belichek were to pick a game to lay an egg, or to withold his A-game plan, it would be against Indy. While this team would feed on a perfect year, I think a single loss would motivate them even more than playing against the '72 Dolphins.
But they appear to be head and shoulders against every other team when all their parts are healthy and eligible.
