They had a great offseason, picking up on some key Wide Recievers like dante stallworth, wes welker and a few more. Brady know has a good core of wide-recievers to throw to, and will do amazing. The pick up of adaluis thomas was huge, he will be one of many new defensive weapons among the patriots. But the evil in this good story is Asante Samuels who might not be coming back due to his contract that he is not happy with, still...the patriots are trying to resign him.
I think that asante will return to the pats, because really you just cant let a guy like that go. I mean he had tons of INT's and didnt even make the probowl. He's a underated player, i think he will shine this year if he sticks with the pats. Also they have Bruschi Colvin, Vrabel, Seymour, And other young not so nown names that are gonna really come out this year, so overall if they made it to the AFC championship game and almost won it last year, i'd say watch out' cuz here comes the patriots,!

That is a hard question to answer. Although their is no doubt in my mind that they will dominate the AFC North again and be in the SB hunt I'm not sure they have the best chance and here is three reasons why.
1. The Mystique that surrounded them is gone and by that I mean that other teams now know they can be beat. Think about it, when the pats won their 3 SBs teams thought they couldn't beat the Pats defense but now most steams have beat the Pats, especially their top rivals, including the Chargers and the Colts as well as the Steelers and Ravens.
2.Their defense is aging. Now I know that they still have a solid line, especially with the pickup of Adalius Thomas. But now they have a aging Teddy Bruschi and Richard Seymour as well as other key players like Mike Vrabel.
3.They are in a rapidly improving AFC. Other teams like the Colts and Ravens have made huge strides in catching up with them and in another year they may have to compete with the Jets just to win the AFC.
Now I'm not saying they won't win. In my opinion they are one of five of the teams that have the best chance of winning it all this year (Ravens, Colts, Bears, Pats, Chargers). With the pickups on offense they made they will have a great WR core.

Well..every team has a chance, but when I look at the Patriots. They were in the AFC Championship game last season and had a chance to win that game and would have gone on to beat the Bears also. They added onto their roster and really didn't lose anyone vital to the team that they can't replace in the draft, so I expect them to be the best team in the league next season, if they don't, they'll be a disappointment......but I'm not sure we have to worry about Brady disappointing people, he hasn't yet.

They definitely have a big chance of winning the superbowl next season but I think that the Bengals have the best chance of winning it all. And I'll tell you why they do......
The Bengals are just an all around great team. No one can stop their offense. With the O-line getting healthy again Carson Palmer will actually get some protection. Last year was Palmer's recovery year from his injury but this year expect him to be a contender for league MVP. Palmer has a great recieving corp with T.J. Houshmandzadeh who is like the Bengals Reggie Wayne, Chris Henry who has a lot of raw talent but is too busy getting arrested to make anything of it, Reggie Kelly who is a great reciever/blocker especially in the redzone, and Chad Johnson who has great talent with soft hands but hopefully we don't have to watch him limp off the field with leg cramps as much this year. Palmer also has a great running back behind him who can take the load off of his shoulders in tough situations. Well that's enough about the Bengal's explosive offensive attack. The Bengal's defense is also great. They have some great defensive backs. Dexter Jackson who was the superbowl MVP with the Buccaneers, Madieu Williams is a great player who makes the big plays in the redzone, Johnathan Joseph is a young cornerback with great potential, Deltha O'Neal is a pretty decent cornerback, they have a nice linebacker corp, and an offensive line that's great against the run that can also apply a great pressure on the quarterback.

They will be the team to beat in the AFC, but I think they will lose in the Super Bowl to the Bears. The Bears shoud have beaten them last season in Foxboro, and this season, with Tommie Harris back, Adam Archuleta at safety, and with Cedric Benson carrying the load, not to mention a far more consistent and mature Rex Grossman, they will not overcome Chicago. I think the Bears will have no problem making it out of the NFC, and the Patriots will lose by no more than 10 to them. I almost forgot, Devin Hester will have an even better season, and will shatter his own TD record. Bears will win it all.

Yes the Pats made some additions but so did the Dolphins and Redskins last year and nothing happend, true the Dolphs and Skins don't have Billichik or Brady but still I just think something will go wrong with the Pats, probably injuries.

i do think the pats have a great chance they do have to get past the colts. on the nfc side i think the eagles can make it to the superbowl again (as long as the main corps- westbrook, mcnabb, kearse remain healthy) and with new acquisitions like kevin curtis and takeo spikes, i think the eagles will win it all.

By the looks of the NEW and IMPROVED roster I have to say yes. They didnt lose key players they just gained better players. They now have a lethal reciving corps and linebacking corps. Brady is the QB and Belichick and company are coaching.

Absolutely NOT.
Tom Brady will be too distracted with his fatherly duties ;)
Besides, THE COLTS ARE GOING TO REPEAT!
