Federer losing a match in GS simply gave a lot of energy to his haters
promoting he is down for good. I'm not sure about this yet.

I can state the facts the way I see them:

1) Federer lost two out of the last three match to Djokovic.
2) Federer had a very close match which he won in USO in three
straight sets.
3) I don't believe Djokovic played any better than he played in USO.

you must not be watching or are simply trolling. Most noticeable
differences were clutch serving and Djokovic not afraid to go to Fed's
forehand. Djokovic is very assured of his f/h now. At USO, Djoker
could not get a first serve on numerous set-points he had over
Federer. At Aus Open he serving was way improved.
Djokovic came up on top in the forehand duel.

You can say that based on one match that Federer was not himself. Next
few matches should should clarify things.
No one will have his serving going his way all the time and at every
point.
Federer is the one who dropped his service game serving for the set.
Also he was not himself making tons of easy errors that denied him
break chances.

4) Federer didn't seem to be healthy at all in his last match.
5) So, did Djokovic improve that much or Federer declined that much?

It was Djokovic who improved on his game.

As I said it's easy to look good when your opponent is not having a
good day and helping you to look good.

who is better now? this will be answered by their next meetings.
6) If Federer was healthy that match, it's wrong to assume that he
won't adjust his game playing Djokovic in the future.
7) Federer is (my opinion) a better play, technically and physically.
8) I see Federer has better chance winning the FO this year.

Based on his game last six months, he has less fo a chance than last
year.

I'd agree although he has the game to reach finals on clay and he's
done twice so far.

9) I see Federer is  the favourite to win Wimbledon this year.
10) Djokovic should have a good chance in USO, but I'm wondering how
long it will take his opponents to learn his game and start to give
him trouble.

If someone can match and beat Djokovic with power, that same guy can
overpower Federer too.

The game is not only about power. Power game can be accurate a day and
inaccurate in many other days.

11) Federer is still the favourite to win the USO.

How Federer will reply back in his next new tournaments, should be a
sign of what to come.
Also I believe he will hire a coach even if he thinks he doesn't need
one,  it's more of a silent war against his opponents.

that will be the supidest move. that will be an inviation to confusion
and unnecessary distractions.

I disagree, I think it's a good strategic move.- Hide quoted text -

If you hire a coach to put a scare in the opponents, Rod*** would
have been winning a lot after hiring Connors. Nobody wins
psychological wars with opponents through a coach. It's naive to even
suggest it.- Hide quoted text -

Comparing Rod*** to Federer?!!- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

so you are saying Federer should hire a coach even though ***he
doesn't need one*** to win the silent (whateve that means) war against
his opponent?

I simply pointed out how idiotic the idea is. Nobody wins psych. wars
over their opponents through a coach.
