What can you do? :(

Nobody can predict what happens in 5 years, certainly not Stan Bowman.

I can't even predict what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow :/</div></div>

But it was entirely predictable that the wheels would fall of the bus, just not when. The Seabrook contract helped guarantee there would not be a 4th ring.

If you want to build a longterm contender, you need to be, much as I dislike them, the Patriots. They sold high on key pieces to get the parts for the next championship, let stars walk. That is how you keep winning. Not by spending high percentages of your cap space on declining (or soon-to-be) stars.
