So much for being invincible. If the Kansas City Chiefs could play the Pats that tough I can only imagine what would’ve happened if the Patriots played in a stronger division. If not for 4 drops by KC's best WR Dwayne Bowe this game would have went into overtime. If someone told you KC would take the Pats into Overtime you would have immediately started searching that person for the drugs they are on.

The Giants created the blueprint on neutralizing super-Brady and now we will see if the genius coach can turn another backup into the second coming of Tom Brady minus the video tape advantage. Even if Brady returns this season the gig is up. It is more than obvious that teams are going to come after Brady because he will pick them apart if they don’t. It is also obvious that the once vaunted Pats O-line is leaking like a Louisiana shrimp boat in a rain storm.

It was almost comical to see Pats fans strutting around like Brady and the Pats were never going to be figured out and countered like all of the dynasties that came before them. The 49ers, Steelers and my Redskins who all have at least 3 Lombardi trophies all had great runs but they all were eventually figured out and countered. This is proof positive that the evolution of the game continues and now the Patriots must adapt if Brady comes back or not.

The Pats now find themselves in a tough division. The Jets have Favre who gives them a shot to win every game. The Bills look resurgent and Miami looks to be improved over last season as well. The Pats are still the class of the AFC East but the road to redemption just took an off ramp on to Despair avenue. If Bill Belichek is a true genius this situation will show it. If he was just riding the wave of a super talented QB then that will show as well. Pats fans have been spoiled but all good things come to an end. We are gonna learn a lot about this franchise over the next 15 games.
