The Patriot Dynasty is Starting to Crumble

by user Squib

You can feel it in the air, can't you? The coming of a new period in the NFL, where everything is up for grabs. The New England Patriots aren't the best team in the NFL. They aren't even the second best. They are what they are, no matter what they did in the past, and that is a top ten team, but no one any more scary than the Denver Broncos, or the Washington Redskins. As long as they have Tom Brady, Adam Vinatieri and Bill Belichick they'll be fine, we were always told.

Well guess what? They don't have Vinatieri any more.

Yes, you say, but as long as they keep the hardworking underrated players like Willie McGinest around they'll be fine. Guess what? He just got cut [].

So I ask you: Why should we fear the Patriots any more? Why should they be considered a team to look out for?

In fact, I'll even answer: they shouldn't. The Steelers are now the kings of the NFL. Close behind them are the Panthers, the Seahawks, the Bengals,the Broncos, and the Colts. A step back are the Redskins, the Bucs, the Bears and the Patriots.
