Got me the games are usually close and we've owned the Cards recently. (though obviously they're better than they've been) We've also got the Pats at home and I'm not putting the Dolphins game in the loss column just yet. They have to win 4 of their remaining 9 games to finish with a winning record. Division games are almost always close, we take one off the Seachickens all the time.

That's pretty crazy, actually. I know when Diontae is healthy and playing he'll hit him for a lot of shorter, move the sticks, routes.

RE: The Pats, drafting has rarely been their main road to getting talent. Pats were masters of getting guys with a little bit left in the tank to come in and sign sweet short term deals for a chance to get a ring. Then Darth Bill would trade you off to some dipshit franchise and your stats would fall off a cliff, leaving the Pats mostly off the hook for any cap damage. For a while, with that JV HS Football division they sit in, odds were good if you were on the team for two years you would snag a ring. It has not been that way for the Pats for a few years and thus they lack the leverage to get vets with a little juice on the cheap. And unless you name is Matt Patricia or Mike McDoofus, you are not falling for Darth Bill's bargain bin trades anymore. Add the fact that Coronachan has taken away Bill's other major edge, his great gameplanning, and you end up with the current season they are having.
Cam is not the problem for the Evil Empire, but he is not the solution either. And worse, I think both Bill and Tom are hanging around out of some dick measuring contest of who gets more credit for the rings. If there were any consistently good teams in that division, I would say dynasty over, but lets face it; no one else has been able to put together a solid year in that division for years. The minute the Pats manage to get a decent QB on their roster who can game manage, I think they probably go back to their easy peasy road to home field in the AFC. Until then, expect more of the same. Other people just got wise to their strategies.

Pats also get the "Superbowl Discount". Proven vets were willing to take a cut in pay just to have a chance at the ring. Even Brady did that.
Now that Brady is gone and Bill doesn't look so hot, I suspect that discount isn't going to be much of a factor anymore. The Pats will have to draft smart and pay just like everyone else.

Pats also would get some dip shit team/GM to pay a "troubled" star lots of money, then when they'd either get cut or traded or peanuts the Pats would scoop them up and they'd shape up under "The Patriot Way" right into another ring for Tom.

They also started losing SBs and the along with it the ability to snap their fingers to get decent vets at a bargain price. Plus that 2019 was probably the most utterly anemic SB in history against a Rams team who's one productive offensive player was hiding a major injury.
