Dynasty Over??? I Think Not ESPN!

So I recently read an article on ESPN's website,http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/columns/story?columnist=bryant_howard&id=4728559, and I was disappointed with all I heard. Has the championship window of opportunity passed for the New England Patriots? I find this extremely hard to believe!

Shouldn't we know by now that a team featuring Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will always have a chance at championship glory?? The nation is in a state of amnesia due to a few minor flops in a season in which the Patriots are still contenders. The defense is struggling, but the offense is very good, granted not as good as it was during the 18-1 season, but no offense will ever be that good, sorry Saints fans'. So if the Patriots make the playoffs, which they will, am I to believe that no one is worrying about them winning it all?? The Saints and Dolphins beat the Pats 2x in a row, this is true, but is it also forgotten that New England was a yard short of beating the undefeated Colts? That yard is looking huge right about now, but it was in fact only a yard...The Patriots make that and we aren't questioning this dynasty anymore are we?

I'm sorry but I don't believe this dynasty is ending or will end anytime soon. Receivers, Defensive players and Coordinators may change, but the Patriots should never be counted out.
