I believe the Pats went 11-5 that year. in a "normal" year they would have made the playoffs. Not many 11-5 teams miss the playoffs.

You can't tell me that they wouldn't have gone 12-4 or better with Brady instead of Matt Cassell that year, though.

true, but one game could have been won or lost due to any number of reason, not just brady. That showed just how talented the Pats were. you lose a major piece of your team and still play playoff football.
