This is a 3-13 team - possibly 2-14 if KC rises to the occasion.

Agreed, SBC. It's time to bench Brady, fire Belichick and replace Pioli. This bunch of has-beens will be lucky to rise to the Jets' 4--12 of last year. Why didn't they get Favre when he was available? And, maybe we can get Mangini back to take over.

I really think 12-4 is more likely, but 11-5, overcoming injuries, going in 2-3 in the last 5 would be just what the media needs to fuel a Pats SB run!

I can not and will not pick the Colts to beat the Pats.

[JAYHAWKS34]

i'm confident with 14-2

[PatsWickedPissah]

12-4

And a W in February

I know a lot of people have us losing to SD. I just don't see it. A more likely loss is after the long road trip against the one team that has always given us trouble.....The F..kin Broncos ! After that the Seattle game seems like an especially brutal place to play. 14-2 and primed for the playoffs.

[Deus Irae]

Well, the team was winless in the all-important exhibition season, so I'm just hoping that they can somehow end up better than the Dolphins, Chiefs and Falcons.

We'll end the season at 12-4 win the division but won't have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. That honor will go to the Jaguars (wild guess)
