it's an angle i considered as well. but i don't think it really is a big deal for NE. the league is different now and we have never had a team as consistent as the Pats.
typically, SB losers got blown out and even lately they usually stink the year after, often missing the playoffs. so the fact NE got there instead of tanking, with a 40 yr old QB, a thin WR core that lost 2 guys and had one suspended part the year, RBs that aren't stars, says a lot.
and it's not like they got blown out last year and were exposed. they didn't even punt!
