The Blueprint to New England Patriots winning in 2020

In my opinion, the team as currently assembled (and assuming the usual New England Patriot-like moves hereafter) is a 5-11 team at best.

Past dismal off-seasons were only bailed out by the brilliance of that new Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback.

Yes, I fall squarely into the coterie of people who think it was the brilliance and sheer will of No. 12 that was the key force leading the Patriots to 6 Super Bowl titles and numerous other successes.

This, despite, yes despite the oftentimes dismal performance of the team in providing the supporting cast he needed.

Had they done so, I firmly believe that during his time leading the team, they could have/should have won a minimum of 10 Super Bowls, if not more.

That option has now “Left the Building” with Tom Brady. So, with that reality in mind, how can the New England Patriots be a factor in 2020 if not a challenger for a title?
