Brady? Mediocre yesterday. Moss? Pretty much a non-factor. Welker? Good, but fairly contained for most of the game. They still won.
On the other side consider the Chargers - without L.T., they're done. They do have other good players, but nothing the defense can't contain easily enough, as was demonstrated.
Lesson: Build a TEAM of good players, not a collection of one or two superstars and a bunch of "other", mediocre guys.

And today they lost as a team. Their defense got handled. Their offense got handled. Brady got his ass kicked. The antichrist got out coached & good triumphs over evil. This morning I watched the '89 49ers beat Denver 55-10. To all you folks that thought this team was in that league, oops, up side your head, I said oops up side your head!
Joe Montana, SITLL, the greatest of all time!
