The NFL playoff picture won’t have one familiar team, the New England Patriots. NFL Vets Takeo Spikes and Tutan Reyes talk about it in this BTM Conversations.

For the first time since 2008, the Pats won’t be in the preseason. It begs the question: Who was most important: Coach Bill Belichick or former QB Tom Brady (who’s still in the playoff hunt with Tampa Bay)?

Takeo and Tu don’t agree on that one!

The guys also discuss:

• With the Patriots out, where does this put QB Cam Newton?

• Is the grass greener for wideouts Antonio Brown and Dez Bryant? Over the weekend, Brown scored his first TD with Tampa Bay. Bryant scored his first TD in more than three years.
