Second in, as a Pats fan I have no idea what the new season is going to bring. None of the WRs have ever caught a pass from Brady (outside of practice of course), and the defence still has some way to go to make the team more balanced. The Pats are still too reliant on the offence to get the job done, and they need to get a better defence so that if Brady has an off-day, the defence can step up and help. There have been some positive steps (re-signing Vollmer and Talib is great, and adding Wilson could help), but I think we need a proper shut-out CB to play alongside Talib, and another WR is a must. I'd love the Pats to sign Emmanuel Sanders and apparently there is still a chance we might, the 19th April is the deadline for restricted free-agent offers.
The draft will also be very interesting and could improve the team. In its current state, I think the team is capable of winning the Superbowl, so long as the key guys stay fit at the important times. Another playoff run without Gronk must be avoided.

It's the Pats. You'll be fine. Amendola is a good enough replacement for Welker, even if they did screw Welker over in that deal, and Brady could get a ball to me even if I was one on one with Revis...
Seahawks I believe are the favourites, although personally feel the team is too young to win this year still.
Skol Vikings!
Personally, I feel we've done ok in FA. Jennings seems like a better fit than Harvin anyway. We're not in the greatest position though. This is really make or break year for Ponder, and we need to get some good guys in in the draft. I'd happily take Urlacher for one year to be honest to mentor a new MLB. I'd give him $2.5 for the year. We've got two picks in the first round, so may do ok with that, and I'd quite like to see us nabbing te'o. I want to see AP have another great year, but surely he can't do it again? Can he... Oh, and our uniforms are going to be a disappointment... Too much hype.
What else, oh, I like to follow the Redskins as well, but mainly so that I can watch RGIII play. Waiting to see how his knee does.
Oh final point. Whoever does the worst this year (hello Raiders, sorry Morba), say hello to Jadeveon Clowney.

Vikings and Pats fans have nothing to worry about, the Titans on the otherhand used to be really good defensively and then with the emergence of Thunder and Lightning(CJ and Lendale) I thought we could really do something but it has all gone downhill since, Haynesworth leaving and fans favourite Vanden Bosch leaving last year has really screwed the Titans chances of even coming close to the Colts let alone the Texans.
I wish we had your problems!

I think its like £33 per month, (for 4 months)... but you get quite a lot for the money.
Every single game that is played, live and on demand
Every past season game
Red Zone
Can Stream NFL Network too (nice for lunch breaks at work)
My coach is a Raiders fan... I say the same thing to him
Peterson and Allen seem to be both wanting to go after records this year, I can see it happening. Also going to see the Vikings play in September!
I'll be going to that game too

Having just watched last season again, it was depressing how many long bombs down the middle just ripped our secondary apart. I love last years defensive rookies like Dante Hightower and Chanlder Jones so maybe the draft will do us well again.
I was / am a huge Welker fan (a guy my size for once!) and do wonder about WR and what we'll do without Wes for those slot routes but we'll probably be usual playoff material.
I am so over the top kick you in the nuts fantastically in agreement with you, This season has no outstanding team but a bunch of top class outfits who on their day are capable of beating anyone.
One bad point is there will be no Ray Lewis #52 this season, I will miss him so much it will hurt sometimes.
