Quote:muddylips, I agree and disagree with you.

 

This teams problem is clearly the raw talent at the skill positions.  The defensive game plans are so successful against this team because no one is winning their one on one challenges.  The offensive line would look better if anyone was a play maker for our team.

 

Honestly, I think this was the most no name player team the Patriots have had in a superbowl.  Gronk is the one spot where you can say top 5 for his position.  Of course Brady is the reason.

I admit I just don't  know what to think after watching the SB and then thinking about the Jags. Are we that bad, or are these play off teams that good? I suppose that the end result is the same either way you cut it. I know the owner, GM and HC knew without a doubt (how could they not?) that by gutting the team and re-building primarily via the draft would be a long, painfully slow process. I have to wonder though if they realized that in the process they (and the fans) would have to endure the 'perfect storm' situation; a weak o-line, a rookie quarterback with problems with his fundamentals, and mostly rookie receivers. 

 

If the guys we've got can just develop into play makers, then it will have been worth it; I just wonder if it will happen... and when.
