I never count out Brady et al, but their offense is much more depleted from last season and, by all accounts, they really probably should have lost to Seattle (and probably Baltimore, too).

I don't know if they "Should have lost" to Seattle. People get so fixated on the interception that ended the game that they forget that the Seahawks were that close to the goal line because of a fluke catch (Butler swatted the ball and it somehow came down in the hands of the intended receiver who was lying on the turf at the time).

That's true, but it did happen. I was actually rooting for the Pats for the first time in about 15 years because of my deep loathing for the Seahawks, so I was amused by everything that happened. But you can always say that 'if this hadn't happened, then things would've been different.' If Rahim Moore plays passable defense, Baltimore doesn't throw a long pass for a touchdown and go on to beat the Broncos in the playoffs a couple of years ago.

You can't play the "but it
did happen" card when you're arguing that the team that lost fair-and-square should have won.

A team was one yard away from scoring a touchdown against a back-pedaling defense. By all accounts, they should have scored and won, if Carroll hadn't called an idiotic play, and Butler hadn't made a heads-up play. I'm saying 'should', not 'did'. Is there much thought that anything beyond that stupid pass wouldn't have led to a score?

And freaking Harmon jumps over the guy instead of A) swatting the ball away or B) falling on the guy so he wouldn't catch it.
