The bottom line is this... the team certainly over-exceeded expectations by advancing and certainly winning a playoff game. NE has too many weapons and Denver doesn't have an offense with great playmakers. They've been good, but they have no short passing game. They don't have good pass catching RB options or TEs. Thomas, Royal are not a 1-2 punch. Any mix of Thomas, Royal and Decker are not a valid 1-2 punch.
And, the defense has a areas of serious upgrade... they've got a lot of nice youth ready to step up, but they're not ready to make a serious playoff push. It was a nice season compared to what the expectations were and despite what we saw, I do think that TT can improve. It will be interesting to see how they address their needs in FA and the draft.
