Around the NFL: Conference Championships Edition

The patriots Are not a sb team anymore, they can't stop AIR on defense and they refuse to get legitimate WRs to help Brady. Welker is nice but he's a slot at best. GRONK looks like an injury prone player already.

I think the Pats still have a 2-3 legit runs left in them. If it wasnt for their horrible defense of the last 3 or 4 years they would have at least 1 more SB ring. Fortunitly they basically spent their entire draft class on denfense last year. If Talib comes back and they get another playmaker at the saftey or corner spot they should be a lot better next near. Although Wilfork is getting old.

The thing that stuck out to me the most last night was the horrible decision making by Brady and Belchick. The timeout before the end of the first half. The punts on fourth and short (at least go for it if its too windy to kick). Brady also made some piss poor passes. Maybe its age for both of them? Either way it was uncharastic for both.

As of right now, i put them with San Fran and ATL as one of the best teams going into 2013.

Pats were w/out Gronk. I think they would've liked to have him on a few of those 3rd downs that they didn't convert. They have a lot of young guys playing on defense. As long as Brady is upright, they'll be a contender for years to come. How are they going to be worse?
