I get it, you’re sick of hearing about the greatness of the New England Patriots. That’s fine, even understandable. But love them or hate them, what they’re doing this season is really impressive. Take any NFL team. Eliminate a borderline Hall-of-Fame receiver, two of the five most talented tight ends in the NFL, then add in a long-term injury to a key running back, and on-and-off injuries to a starting running back and top remaining receiver. That’s what happened to New England with Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski, Shane Vereen, Steven Ridley and Danny Amendola. Oh, and defensive MVP Vince Wilfork is out for the rest of the season too. Most teams would experience a drastic drop without all those players. And here the Patriots are, 5-1 and coming off a home win against the previously undefeated Saints. That’s amazing. And yet, through the season’s first six weeks, most of the talk surrounding the Patriots has been about how much they’ve struggled. Because everyone has Patriots fatigue, we’re not celebrating what an incredible story it is. But we will celebrate them here, because they’re going to be even tougher to beat once they’re healthy. For some reason, the fact that they’ll add one of the best players in the NFL (Gronkowski) and a multi-threat running back (Vereen) to the lineup soon has been mostly ignored when analyzing the Patriots. And a defense that has played very well most of this season hasn’t gotten much attention either. Bill Belichick is doing some of his best work this season, and that’s saying something. As I keep saying, I know you want the Patriots’ dynasty to be over, but that doesn’t mean they’re going away quite yet.
