You're are probably right from a pragmatic point of view RFIP. Maybe you can hand the Lombarding to NE but, they just don't look the same to me
and frankly if you take Brady out of the equation then the Pats may be just another team.
Brady is 40 years old. They better limit the hits on his body because certain changes take place to the human body at that age and the connective tissues
and the recovery of the body after a game of hard hits is not like it was at 27 or 28 years of age.
Brady is at higher risk to injury now.
