^ You're living in a fantasy world, Joe! You think the Brady-less Pats can sweep the revamped Jets (with FAVRE) and the revamped Dolphins? No chance! Cassel hasn't started a game since HIGH SCHOOL, and Billichick will have to dumb down the playbook for him, and when you dumb down the playbook for the QB, the whole offense will be reduced in effectiveness even with that receiver core. The Chargers have a bone to pick with the Pats after losing consecutive playoff appearances to them, so it'll take a miracle to beat the Chargers, whom the Pats could barely beat with Brady. The Colts' loss to the Bears will probably prove to be the kick in the ass they needed to get back to top form. Hell, I wouldn't even say it's a guaranteed win against the Cardinals.
But the Chiefs, Rams, Bills, Raiders, and 49ers... yeah, they're all screwed.
