They sure have upgraded from last year.
I think Moss is going to be huge for them. A motivated Moss is a very dangerous player.Yeah, well, in that case he hasn't been motivated in three years so I fail to see the problem for opposing defenses.
Do we even know if he still can focus if he wants to?

How can you say anything bad about the Pats with their current record. IT SPEaKS FOR ITSELF. Agree with their moves or not they will def. be one of the teams to beat AGAIN this year.

Or you could say they were one Charger fumble away from not even playing in the AFC championship.Great point.
Reasons why I think Moss will be motivated:
-New England was the only team he wanted to go to, let's face it Oakland was a hole. That doesn't excuse how he played, but he obviously was miserable out there.
-He's basically playing on a one year deal in New England. He's playing for one last shot at a big payday and one last shot at winning a Super Bowl.
-He's got one of the best QBs in the game throwing him the ball.
-I don't think that locker room will let him be a distraction.
-Belichick is a master motivator, if Moss can't rebound in New England he's not going to rebound anywhere.

People hardly ever change. Every time one of these guys goes to a new team everyone talks about how this time will be different. It's the Ike Turner syndrome. Moss will be a problem wherever he goes.

I can say something bad about the Pats because I freakin want to. Anytime ESPN continually jumps on a player, coach, or team's nuts, I start to not like them anymore. I'm just trynna give a dissenting opinion here.

They are one of the teams to beat in the AFC, but certainly CERTAINLY are not a better team than SD right now. Jacksonville, might be better, and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are maybe just as good, and the Colts aren't just going to go away.
The Pats are NOT the favorite to win the SB, but they will be back in the playoffs again this year...so it wouldn't be completely shocking if they won it.

I do not see them winning the SB but I would not be shocked as they do have the talent.
