There are certain things were not used to seeing in professional sports, and a humbled, humiliated New England Patriots team is certainly one of them. There was almost a surreal quality to watching the Patriots getting pounded by Kansas City on Monday night, since New England has for so long been a team that defies whats on paper and just finds a way to get it done. In fact, thats how the Brady-Belichick era was born back in 2001 when New England was coming off a 5-11 season, began the season 0-2 and had its starting quarterback in Drew Bledsoe knocked out, forcing an apparently talent-poor team to rely on sixth-round backup, Tom Brady. What happened next defied all logic as New England won the Super Bowl, its first of three in four seasons, thus ushering in a period of dominance over the AFC East which continues to this day. Since then, the Patriots success has been built on several key principles: - That New England does not need a star-studded cast to win - That it can turn over a good portion of its roster year after year without missing a beat - And that the combination of Brady and Belichick can overcome whatever weaknesses exist on the roster Here are the problems with that right now. Turning over a roster from year to year or being unwilling to pay for top-level offensive talent means relying heavily on the draft or free agents who fly under the radar of other teams. That was a Belichick specialty for years when the teams front office was equipped with such people as Thomas Dimitroff and Scott Pioli, both of whom now work in the front office of the Atlanta Falcons. New England has used a high percentage of its recent draft picks on defence, apparently believing that Brady is good enough on his own to make mediocre talent superior. Similarly, most of their highest paid players, besides Brady, play on defence. New Englands dominance and ability to get away with weaknesses on its roster is in part a function of playing in the AFC East where Buffalo, Miami and the Jets have made simply being competent enough to get to the top of the division. And then there is Brady who is still a very, very good NFL quarterback but is at the age where many of the all-time greats have begun a steep decline. Sure the talent around him isnt what it once was but its been a few years since he had Randy Moss to throw to and somehow the Patriots never looked this bad. Brady looks uncomfortable and yet the coaches he has surrounding him in Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels are the same ones who helped his offence become the highest of all time back in 2007. Brady right now has the lowest completion percentage for pass attempts of over 10 yards of anyone in the NFL right now and the highest off-target percentage in the entire league. His completion percentage last season was his lowest since 2003 and is worse this season. On a good team, surrounded by elite talent, Tom Brady could still be a winner. There have been many seasons of late when people were ready to write-off New England, only to see them show up in the AFC Championship Game once again. But if Belichick can get this group that far this season, it may indeed be time to crown him the greatest NFL coach of all time.
