On top of that, they won it their first year with Brady. All their starters from last year are back as well, Brady with a good understanding of that system now. They are the team to beat. Outside of them having bad injuries, it's hard to not see them in the SB again
Brady wasn't really that good in the playoffs, go look at his numbers overall. In the SB he didn't really have to do much, it was basically that DL teeing off on Mahomes all game. It was weird how little was discussed about Mahomes' line before the game. Literally that whole OL was revamped and with some pretty s**tty backups overall.
I do not think they're the best team in football. Like you said s**t gonna happen in the playoffs, it's all about getting there...that's exactly what happened for them...just went right for them.
We will see, that's one of the things I love about the NFL there's so much turnover and good/bad teams can change so quickly.
