Because the Cheatriots lost the Super Bowl last year and teams that lose Super Bowls generally don't make it back to the Super Bowl the next year. The Cowboys and Dolphins made it back (and won the Super Bowl) after losing the Super Bowl in the 1970s and the Bills made it back 3 times after losing the Super Bowl in the 1990s, but no one else has ever made it back to the Super Bowl the year after losing a Super Bowl.

True but Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the New England Patriots aren't "no one".

Yes, they are. Without cheating, they're nothing. Heck, this isn't the first time they lost a Super Bowl.

What happened the last 2 times they lost a Super Bowl?

2007 - lost Super Bowl XLI
2008 - didn't make the playoffs

2011 - lost Super Bowl XLVI
2012 - didn't make the Super Bowl

So even Shady Brady and Belicheat and the Cheatriots have already proven TWICE that they can't get back to the Super Bowl the year after losing a Super Bowl.

There is always that Classic saying....."In order to be the Best, You first have to beat the Best"

1st, this isn't the WWE. In the WWE, the current champ always defends the title in a title match. In the NFL, the current champ doesn't have to be in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs or Chargers can win the Super Bowl this year without even playing (and beating) the current champs, the Eagles.

2nd, the Pats aren't the "Best". The Eagles already beat them for the title last year so the Eagles are the defending champs.

Now if you say that the Eagles are no longer the best because they've been beaten, that's OK. But you can't automatically say the Pats are the best because your claim is "to be the best, you have to beat the best" and the Pats still haven't beaten the Eagles since the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

So by your statement, "to be the best, you have to beat the best", if the Eagles aren't the best, then the best is a team that HAS beaten the Eagles since the Eagles won the Super Bowl. A team like the Cowboys(who have beaten the Eagles), not the Pats (who haven't beaten the Eagles since the Eagles won the Super Bowl).
