The Patriots won those Super Bowls in a different NFL. Back then Belichick could plug in hank poteat, earthwind moreland, etc., and have them mug receivers all the way down the field. Them days is gone, so to speak.I remember winning a SB with our QB injured, winning a SB with one of our best defenders injured, almost winning a SB with our WR playing CB, almost making a SB with our stars Welker and Gronk hurt.
Injuries were never an excuse, yet now it is all about how we don't have our RB, our TE, our WR, our OT, our water boy etc. Give me a break.
The fact that yesterday's opponent gave up 45 to Detroit and then came into Foxboro and handcuffed the Pats until garbage time is worrisome, but not unexpected considering you've got practice squad quality guys playing considerable time.
