Can the Patriots and Bellichick do anything wrong?

Back in October I criticized the Patriots and Bellichick for trading Randy Moss. I'm eating my words as I write this. Not only have the Patriots thrived without Moss, but Brady is having his best season since his perfect 16-0 season. Who could've seen this coming? The Pats walloped the Jets on Monday Night Football 45-3 2 weeks ago and came back the next week and pasted the Bears 36-7 last week in snowy Chicago and a terrific defense.

The defense all of sudden is stifling and, the offense is clicking, Brady is delivering the football to all his wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs. There is not one go to guy on this team and on any given Sunday everyone seems to produce on both offense and defense to produce wins.

Bellichick truly gets the best out of his players. If you had mentioned this roster of guys like Brandon Tate, Danny Woodhead and Aaron Hernandez at the beginning of the season, I would've thought you were mentioning the cast of the major motion picture Major League- "Who the Hell are these Guys"?

But the Pats are 11-2 with probably the toughest schedule in football. They have answered every critic and are playing the best football of any team. Brady is MVP, Bellichick is coach of the year. Can these guys do anything wrong?
