Will Patriots play decline?

One theory
Tom Brady is that good and one of the biggest reasons they are great so they will decline.

2nd theory
Tom Brady is good but is sorrounded by a great team and killer O line and the team will keep winning even with the new QB. Tom is a little overated.

Brady is surrounded by solid offensive talent now, but their D isn't what it once was, so I suspect it's downhill this year.

They will still make the playoffs. The overall talent level is too high. They'll just adjust the offense to fit the scrub QB and still go 11-5.

Their play has to get worse. They barley beat a bad KC team at home. You lose your starting QB and already have a gray beard defense, loses are bound to come. Miami, NYJ, and Buf look to all be improved. Teams are going to remember them running it up on them and aren't going to let up.

8-11 wins, but not too deep of a playoff run unless the rb becomes some hybrid eddie george/ marshall faulk

Don't forget, up until last year the Patriots scrapped for most wins. They ran the ball more and found ways to win games. They play in an improving AFC East, but it's still weak and they should win it easily. There defense is old and isn't as dominant as it was during there championship years. Still, they have the greatest coach in NFL history so I won't write them off yet.
