The Patriots are also able to do what they do largely because of coaching. The Bengals turned their fanchise around from the joke of the league into playoff contenders largely because of coaching. Andy Reid took a dying franchise and turned them into consistent playoff contenders despite being a team that year in and year out has some of the most cap space in the league. The list goes on and on.
Do we have the talent of a 13-3 team? No. Do we have the talent of a 5-11 (like last year)? NO WAY.
We are a team that always wins the offseason but loses in the regular season. Why? Who knows, but if you think its because guys like Taylor, Springs, Smoot, Arrington, Washington, Griffin, Coles, Thomas, Portis, Samuels, etc. don't cut it, you're kidding yourself.

So where is Parcell's and his Cowboy's now? In the crapper. I guess his great coaching is not enough this year.
Bill Belichek had a terrible and record with the Patriots before Tom Brady emerged out of thin air.
It takes a lucky combintion of good talent and great coaching. You need both.
In Dallas last year what made the diffrence compared to this year is the emergence of Quincy Carter and their great defense. Quincy played a great game this last Sunday for the Jets. I think they blew it by letting him go and going with Vinny Testaverde.
