One of these seasons http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/will-hernandez-jersey , the New England Patriots won't cruise through the AFC East to an easy division title and position themselves, more often than not, for a Super Bowl run.One of these seasons, 40-something quarterback Tom Brady will begin showing his age and stop putting up MVP-caliber numbers. His lack of options at receiver will cause the offense to stall, the defection of another coordinator will fatally weaken the defense, and coach Bill Belichick's cold-blooded approach to his roster will backfire.That is sure to happen, one of these seasons.There's just no indication that it will be 2018.When the defending AFC champions return to the field in pursuit of their sixth NFL title, there are no credible threats in the division (and only one in the conference: a Pittsburgh Steelers team that hasn't outlasted them in the postseason since 2010 or beaten them in the playoffs since 1997).So while the Patriots appear to be vulnerable in several areas — tension between Brady and Belichick could be the biggest threat to the dynasty — there still doesn't seem to be anybody ready to knock them off the postseason podium.Here are some things to look for from the Patriots this season:AGELESS WONDERBrady was 40 when he won his third NFL MVP last year, leading the league in yards passing and leading the Patriots to the Super Bowl for the eighth time. In the game, he threw for a record 505 yards and brought New England back from a 10-point http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-goodson-jersey , third-quarter deficit to take a 33-32 lead with nine minutes left.That's a player who is at the top of the mountain, not over the hill.BOUNCING BACKBut Brady was unable to muster another comeback after the Eagles retook the lead, and the lingering image of the game was Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles catching a touchdown pass while Brady let the ball thrown his way bounce off his hands.It was the third Super Bowl loss for New England in the Brady-Belichick era.So, how have they bounced back from previous big game losses?In 2008, after a loss to the Giants in the Super Bowl spoiled New England's hopes for a perfect and unprecedented 19-0 season, Brady was injured in Week 1 and the Patriots went 11-5 under backup Matt Cassel but did not make the playoffs based on a tiebreaker.In 2012, after another loss to Eli Manning and the Giants, New England went 12-4 but lost in the AFC title game to the Baltimore Ravens.POOR RECEPTIONWith the loss of Brandin Cooks (65 catches) and Danny Amendola (61), the Patriots are down their top two wide receivers from last year. Throw in Julian Edelman, who caught 98 passes in 2016 but was injured last year and is suspended for the first four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancers.Until Edelman is eligible to return for the Oct. 4 game against Indianapolis http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-aldrick-rosas-jersey , Brady's top targets are tight end Rob Gronkowski (69 catches), running back James White (56), and wideout Chris Hogan, who had 34 catches in nine games. Malcolm Mitchell, Jordan Matthews, Kenny Britt and Eric Decker were all brought in but didn't work out.TEAM TURMOILThe decision to bench Malcolm Butler, the hero of the 2014 championship, in this year's Super Bowl not only cost him a reliable member of the secondary, it also raised doubts about Belichick's judgment in New England — new territory for a team whose unofficial motto had been "In Bill We Trust."Belichick has also clashed with owner Robert Kraft about the succession plan at quarterback: The coach was reportedly ready to move on from Brady to backup Jimmy Garoppolo, and when Kraft took sides with the player he treats like a son http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-janoris-jenkins-jersey , Belichick gave Jimmy G. to San Francisco for the pittance of a second-round pick.Belichick has also struggled to establish boundaries for Brady's fitness guru, Alex Guerrero, banning him from the sidelines and the team plane for a time. Guerrero was back in both places during preseason Week 3.CALLING THE SHOTSLongtime defensive coordinator Matt Patricia left to take over as head coach of the Detroit Lions, and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels left for — and then backed out of — the top job in Indianapolis. Belichick did not replace Patricia, but linebackers coach Brian Flores will call the plays on defense.Coaching churn is one thing the Patriots are used to, though. Charlie Weis, Bill O'Brien, Eric Mangini, McDaniels and Romeo Crennel are among those who earned promotions after serving on Belichick's staff, and he replaced all of them without difficulty. Corey Coleman has gone from the 15th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns to being traded and then cut by two teams since August of this year Color Rush Riley Dixon Jersey , and now landing on the practice squad for the New York Giants.So, why did the Giants take a flier on the 24-year-old Coleman?“We brought him here because we feel like he’s got a future. He’s very talented, he’s fast, he’s a good receiver,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He’s been a couple places already. We’re kicking the tires on him with the idea that he’s got a future.”Coleman is now on his fourth organization in his third season, and his third since being traded by the Browns to the Buffalo Bills. He was quickly cut by both the Buffalo Bills, who traded a seventh-round pick for him, and the New England Patriots.Here is a little of the explanation for why Coleman, who has 56 receptions in 19 games, has bounced around so much in recent months.Mary Kay Cabot Color Rush Landon Collins Jersey , Browns beat writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer:“The Browns didn’t like his work ethic or his attitude, and he also got in some trouble here that didn’t sit well. He never got charged, but was with his brother and his friend when they beat up a guy here in Cleveland and left him unconscious on a speed bump in Coleman’s apartment building garage. He also dropped a pass on the 2017 finale vs Pittsburgh that would’ve prevented 0-16.”Coleman was cut by Buffalo less than a month after the Bills traded for him this summer. Bills’ GM Brandon Beane to The Athletic on why Coleman didn’t last in Buffalo:Shurmur said the Giants are, obviously, aware of the issues Coleman has had.“First of all we believe he’s a really fine player,” Shurmur said. “Based on what we’ve heard he’s moved on from those situations. Certainly guys have an opportunity to grow and we’re hopeful that he’s got a future here.”When you are 1-5 with an offense struggling to get the ball down the field it’s hard to argue with taking a flier on a former first-round pick with 4.3 speed, especially when all it involves is using an easy-to-move-on-from practice squad spot.
