Even with a Super Bowl loss the season was pretty successful. As I said in the recap after the game the team needs to make some changes and I’m sure they will make every effort to improve.
They need a deep threat wide receiver, help at linebacker and in the secondary. I did omit the fact that Ras-I Dowling will return next season after spending most of his rookie year on the IR. He should help the secondary immensely. If you recall he had a nice game Week 1 at Miami but then couldn’t stay on the field.
That’s pretty much it for me I’m not going rehash the season or the game, I’m past it already and I am enjoying some fried chicken and a beer waiting for baseball season.
I really think that’s why this doesn’t bother me so much is that at least the Patriots players cared about each other and played for each other and their coaches, something that didn’t happen at Fenway last September.
Up next for the team is a review of the staff and players, then the combine is soon, followed by free agency and the draft.
We will have all the pertinent information here at Sox and Dawgs. From Ian and myself, thanks for reading this season.

Owner Robert Kraft addressed the media on Monday after the team returned, as did head coach Bill Belichick.
The Patriots face the potential retirements of RB Kevin Faulk and G Brian Waters. Belichick also said he thinks some of the coaches, both old and young, are considering their future as well. He did not elaborate but I can’t fathom Belichick walking away at this point. There may be some assistant coaches though who may pursue other coaching slots else where to build a resume. I’d imagine that with all the change in the NFL and college coaching ranks you could see some movement.
Belichick added he “really, really enjoyed coaching this team’.
Despite the loss the team had a post game party headlined by Maroon 5 and LMFAO. Had they won word is Aerosmith would have been the headliner.
