It was an eventful 2018 for the New England Patriots, but brace yourselves, 2019 is going to be a wild one for Bill Belichick and his boys.

The New England Patriots will enter 2019 with more questions than they had going into 2018.

Following an 11-5 season, Bill Belichick and the Patriots appear to be a dynasty on the decline.  The National media has labeled the roster the worst of the teams entering the playoffs and they just may be right.

Tom Brady is 41years old and is starting to look his age.  All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski has become a shell of himself and Julian Edelman has more drops and unnecessary roughness fines than he has 100-yard receiving games.

Add to that a defense with no star players, except the elite-ness that is Stephon Gilmore and NFL analysts like former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh is right, this New England Patriots quad may not get out of the first round.

But we all know better, now don’t we?

The one time you start to doubt Tom Brady and Bill Belichick is the one time they shock the world.  Or, make the rest of the world nauseated.

So, as up and down as 2018 was for the Patriots, here are some wild predictions for 2019 that may just show that the team is on the brink of yet another dynasty.
