New England Patriots: Five Reasons Why They Will Not Repeat In 2017

1) Brady too old (SB MVP)
2) "lost" Blount (3.9 yards per carry)
3) Gronk health (8-0 without him last year)
4) "Lost" Collins Former Patriots LB Jamie Collins acting like a diva with Browns
5) Schedule too hard (14-2 team and improved)

Well I do agree they have a tough schedule especially the middle where they're back to back in Denver then Mexico City against the Raiders. The boys will literally be sucking wind. But not sure how a schedule equates to them not winning tye SB

except the WON the Super Bowl WITHOUT Collins

# 5 is the only "issue" I see but everything else is ok and shouldn't be a problem

1) Brady MVP was a gift IMO I feel that should have gone to White. He is old for an NFL QB but he is not showing his age yet. I guess the assumption is he will this year?

2) Blount loss should not be listed, I think Gillislee is a great grab by BB, Rex B not so much.

3) Gronk health, a legit concern and when you say we went 8-0 without him you have to include the fact we had Bennett. If Gronk manages a full season (LOL) then this is a non factor.

4) Collins lost REALLY? Am I the only one that loves the Ealy pick up?

5) Schedule should be hard.

It's tough to repeat period, there is always that mark on your back, but strength of sch and Gronk are my only real concerns.

The writer didn't mention Gilmore as an addition
Southie is probably right. Some NY'r wish list. It smells of dirtdirtdirt to me, lol

1. Until he fails, he's still the best QB in the NFL
2. Blount had the ball taken from him in the SB after watching films of exactly what Atlanta does. He didn't protect it and was not back on the field for the remainder of the game. Gillislee will be better overall.
3. If the Pats were 8-0 without Gronk, whatwill they be with him and Cooks? 19-0??
4. Collins was never missed. Still not missed.
5. The toughest part of the schedule are Denver and Raiders back to back. Thing is, those games follow a two week vacation. Team will be in Denver on Friday for altitude adjustment and then fly directly to Mexico City for temp and altitude adjustment. Denver game is a Sunday night game and the Raider game is a 4:25 PM EST game here but 1:25 PM game in Mexico
