33 year old Edelman who has a significant injury at least every other year, 30 year old Sanu, and brokedick Marques Lee who’s played in 6 games the last 2 years is not a “good WR trio” by any means. They’re bottom 5 and an Edelman injury away from being the worst.
I expect the Pats defense to be good still, but they aren’t as good on paper as they were last year and I don’t think that’s even debatable. Their best players on both sides of the ball are old. It’s not a very good roster and everybody was pretty much in agreement about this a week ago.
When they won 11 games with Cassel they had a much better roster. Randy Moss and prime Wes Welker aren’t walking through that door. Their defensive roster was better that year as well. They still didn’t even make the playoffs with those guys, so I don’t think it’s a very good example to point to them being the favorite to play us in the AFCCG after signing Newton.
