I'm sorry, but it's a pipe dream. NE39 said Bellicheck is hiring from the inside, which means you still have the same HC and players running the same system. It may hurt them a little, but you heard it here first- they easily win the division with no worse than a 12-4 record. Super Bowl? IDK, someone may be able to pick them off deep in the playoffs, but I doubt it.
To anyone who thinks losing their assistants will hurt the Pats....

You honestly believe that the underlings in Foxboro are as talented as Crennel and Weis? I for one do not. They will have to be to keep up this streak. The wheels will come off the Pats wagon this coming season...and then the Pats have a built in excuse for failure.....and the questions will start coming....."maybe Belichek wasn't the genious people thought he was"...."Show me a good loser and I will show you an idiot"

I don't think losing Crennel will hurt but losing Weis will hurt them. He is an offensive guru and mastermind. Always expect the unexpected with Weis. I am not sure if it have an effect next year but it will definitely hurt them in 2006 Since Bellicheck forte is defense I don't think the defense will miss a beat.

While I agree they will still be tough, and hiring from the inside is smart its just foolish to believe the pats will be just as good or better without Weis, Crennel or Mangiani. It wouldnt shock me to see them loose one more.
I believe Mangiani was the genius who got Troy Brown ready for his CB duties.

same players... same head coach.... same underlings. You don't think their lower level assistants learned anything from Weis and Crennel?
They're still going to win the division next year- there's no doubt in my mind.

Im sure there will be a few other assistants from the patsthat will be in line for coordinating jobs around the league.

Crennel and Weis leaving for other climes will not make a huge difference for NE, but in the NFL the difference between wins and losses can be razor thin. I wouldn't expect NE to be 2-14 next year, but they could lose two or three games that this year they would have won. That might be the crack that another team needs to sneak ahead of them. I'm not going to worry too much this year though. If Buffalo starts Losman this year, I really would not expect a Super Bowl. I will hope the Bills win as many games this year as last, maybe even one or two more, but even though Pittsburgh went to the AFC championship game with a rookie QB, it is a hard thing to win consistently in pressure situations like the playoffs with a first time starter.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
