I will say, this is pretty funny, got responses from Tom Curran, Bert Breer, Judy Batista, Chad Finn.

Uh...no.  Blow things up because two members of your secondary leave?  C'mon....

You take cap space now available and you adjust through either replacing those guys with other DBs via free agency or promote your own DBs from depth and addressing other positions of need via FA.

This team is coming off a 12-4 season is a relatively weak conference and with their own divisional opponents (BUF, MIA, NYJ) rebuilding & not looking like serious threats to win the AFC East.

Barring injuries or other unforseen events, this team is, at minimum, still a top echelon AFC team even without McCourty & Revis.

I don't know. I think the Bills may be pretty dangerous  this season. Also, I think the difference between having and not having someone like Revis/Tailb is pretty visible. I we should make all effort to bring him back in.

Sure but you are talking about losing a legit GOAT talent in Darrelle Revis.  Pats can spend a lot of money and not come close to replacing him. 

I think if Pats Keep Revis and replace Mccourty they will be ok. 

No Revis, im not sure if we make the AFCCG next year

The problem is there is very little out there this offseason that comes close to both McCourty and Revis in terms of talent. I just worry that the price tags will be prohibitive.

Just started thinking about this last night.  I think if Revis and McCourty leave the team, the pats will likely be playoff bound again but defensively not strong enough to challenge for a title. 

If they can't challenege for a title do they trade Brady and officially start the rebuild?

Might as well trade Belichick too while you're at it.  He sucks without Brady and he's getting up there too.

I don't think he sucks without Brady, 11-5 with Cassel

Also, it really comes down to.  Do you trade Brady now and get something for him. 

OR do you likely lose him after 2017 anyways and roll with a team that I don't think can win the superbowl for the next two year.

That's not really a serious discussion. First, it's never going to happen. Second, even if we entertain the academic discussion on this, what something do you expect to get that will justify trading away an all-time great QB?

He is getting old though and he's not likely going to want to stay through a lengthy rebuild. It took 10 years to win another SB and we've lost Revis, McCourty, and YOU traded Brady. I doubt Belichick would want to stay around once Brady's gone myself. He has nothing left to prove and not much chance to burnish his credentials before he's into his 70s. Better to go out on top.

Im not sure.  But seeing as how Logan Mankins was traded for Tim Wright and a 4th, I dunno what the pats would be looking for.

Logan Mankins is a nice player, but he's no Tom Brady. Also, Tim Wright was third on the team in receiving TDs this season :P

BB is an unknown without Brady.  He has a below .500 record in Cleveland and once the GOAT came on board everything turned around.  Go look a the 2008 season again....

The Patriots played the easiest schedule in the NFL that year - 99-157 that is a .387 winning percentage.  Within that schedule they played the AFC and NFC West, which had 1 team above .500 which was the Cardinals. 

Also - that team that Cassel played for was completely loaded. Just a brief look into the roster -

WR - Moss, Welker and Gaffney
OL - Light and Mankins
DL - Seymour, Wilfork, Green, Warren and Mike Wright
LB - Colvin, Vrabel, Bruschi, Seau and Mayo who won rookie of the year
Secondary - Harrison, Hobbs, Meriweather and James Sanders...

The real injustice here is that Brady got hurt because that team was completely loaded...

I am not doubting that BB is a great coach, just saying the jury is still out whether he can do it without Tom...

To avoid embarrassing yourself (and by extension, all Boston sports fans) in the future, you should probably keep such a thought to yourself next time, or at least not broadcast it on social media.
