everyone i talk to in any age group for the most part agrees this is the best offense ever.
my concerns are the lack of balance and laurence maroney not running the ball well.
my concerns on defense are the linebackers getting older and worn out
colvins loss is going to burn,seymour is getting handled easily these days and bruschi and vrabel aged a lifetime in the 2nd half of that indi game last year
they can be beat by a team that runs the football well
they can be beat if they dont throw and weather conditions in a january game in boston arent conducive to finesse teams,ask payton manning if you need clarity on this.

Sean- I agree with a lot you've said- the inconsistency of Maroney, the loss of Colvin, the age of our LBs...these worry me
however two things in particular i'm going to argue otherwise are:
1) this is not a finesse offense. see: Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Ben Watson, and yes, Tom Brady
2) the weather had very little to do with Peyton Manning and the colts inability to win in Foxboro, and the little bit that it did could be attributed to playing in a dome (which Brady does not do). See the first half of last year's AFC game for the pudding that holds the proof (sorry, but I just need to pick on that raging homo T.O. as much as i can. Shut the fuck up T.O.).
Are we going to have any of these "out for season" guys back for the playoffs My guess is no??
