Bruschi Out for 2005

The Patriots will have to go without LB Tedy Bruschi this season. It's too bad, Bruschi is a great player and one of the good guys in sports.

New England would not have repeated as Champs this year, anyway. But this should certainly seal it. Not that they won't have a good season and make the playoffs, I just think there is too much working against them to three-peat.

Here's why they won't return to the Super Bowl:
1. They lost both coordinators. I don't care how good the replacements are, that's a lot of adjusting to do.
2. They're tired. They've basically played 3 seasons of football in 2 years. Better teams than the Patriots have failed to three-peat, and this is one reason why.
3. The AFC is getting better. Someone is going to knock them off.
4. No Bruschi.
