Yes, I am serious. they are not "great" players. They are
role players. They fill a role. That is what the Patriots were all about for this last decade. Players who can come in, fill a role, do their job. This game isn't what casual fans see on NFL red zone with ZOOM ZOOM plays and big highlights and fantasy numbers. A team filled with role players who Brady can spread the ball around too will allow them to remain a threat in this league like they have been this last decade. No other team has been more dominate than NE. They are not where they once were, but hey are not out of it either. they have the offensive tools to get the job done. they don't have a defense to get other teams off of the field.
