I spend a lot of time on OrangeMane.com. They're a fun bunch. Either that or I'm suffering from self inflicted Stockholm syndrome. Anyway we were talking about the 2008 vs 2009 Pats and it got me to thinking:
If you needed to win ONE game. Super Bowl vs the NFC rep. Would you go with the 2008 Patriots or 2009 Patriots with all players healthy EXCEPT Cassel starts in 2008 and Brady starts in 2009?
To me it's easily the 2008 Pats. Showed a thousand times more heart than the 2009 squad showed. But it may not be as easy for you all to say.
2008 roster (starters):
QB Cassel
RB Maroney/Faulk
WR Randy Moss
WR Wes Welker
WR Jabar Gaffney
TE Ben Watson
LT Matt Light
LG Logan Mankins
C Dan Koppen
RG Steve Neal
RT Nick Kaczur
DE Richard Seymour
DE Ty Warren
NT Vince Wilfork
LB Tedy Bruschi
LB Jerod Mayo
LB Adalius Thomas
LB Mike Vrabel
LCB Deltha O'Neal
RCB Ellis Hobbs
SS Brandon Meriweather
FS James Sanders
2009 roster (starters)
QB Brady
RB Morris/Faulk
WR Randy Moss
WR Wes Welker
TE Ben Watson
TE Chris Baker
LT Matt Light
LG Logan Mankins
C Dan Koppen
RG Steve Neal
RT Nick Kaczur
DE Jarvis Green
DE Ty Warren
NT Vince Wilfork
LB Gary Guyton
LB Jerod Mayo
LB Tully Banta-Cain
LB Adalius Thomas
LCB Shawn Springs
RCB Leigh Bodden
SS Brandon Meriweather
