Yes. There is literally no one else in the conference that I can envision beating them in the playoffs.
A few months after the Patriots traded for Moss they went 16-0 and 18-1 and nearly won the title.
Moss at the time was a malcontent and ended up on NE
He behaved himself there and the team was a few minutes away from going undefeated. If Patriots do that again it would be hilarious. Vengeance for 18-1.
Edit: history
There were rumors leading up to the
2007 NFL Draft that the Raiders were eager to part ways with Randy Moss through a trade. First-year Raiders head coach
Lane Kiffin went so far as to contact their division rival
Denver Broncos to "gauge interest",
[51] but the Patriots and
Green Bay Packers were the two teams most interested in acquiring Moss. Packers QB
Brett Favre, who once said, "There is no one in this league who puts fear in people more than Randy Moss,"
[52] tried to persuade team management to trade for him, but a deal that both sides could agree to did not get done.
[53]
During the first day of the NFL Draft, the Patriots and Raiders discussed the trade several times before reaching an agreement.
Bill Belichick spoke with Moss for the first time about the possibility of joining the Patriots at 2:30 Sunday morning.
[54] Moss then boarded a plane and arrived in Boston later that morning on April 29 and was required to pass a team administered physical. Once he was cleared by Patriots officials, the teams completed a trade that sent Randy Moss to New England for a fourth-round selection in the
2007 NFL Draft. The Patriots had acquired the draft pick the previous day from the
San Francisco 49ers, and the Raiders selected
John Bowie.
