AFC playoff predictions: Patriots won't be a part of postseason action

Quote:

After two losses in a row and three in their last four games, the Patriots have taken on the unfamiliar look of a team in crisis. Their defense has been atrocious and their offense looks out of synch. The fact Bill Belichick felt the need to deliver a stern message to his squad by sending Randy Moss and three other players home for being late for practice Wednesday is troubling because it indicates a lack of discipline rarely associated with the perennial Super Bowl contender. The last four games are winnable, but the way the Pats are playing, it might not matter.

Prediction: The Patriots are unraveling. Look for Miami to overtake them for the AFC East crown and force them to watch the postseason for the second year in a row.

Prove him wrong, boys.

I hope they come out and kick some ass to show the patriots way of dealing with crisis.

Our destiny is in our hands............ We'll have no excuse if we don't make it in.

He's really just hedging his bets. With all that's happened this week, this could go two ways. The first is that this could blow up and the team, probably minus Brady, Welker, and a few others could quit. The second is that BB takes full control of the team and it rises to the occasion. If you've seen my post in the "predict the score" thread, you'll know which direction I think it will go, though I do not think it will cure our defensive woes. But I think, behind Brady, the offense is about to blow up.

On top of that, I can't see the Dolphins getting through the rest of their schedule unbeaten. I could see us doing that.

Pats will make it. Question is whether it'll be a one-and-done.

Doubters and naysayers will motivate a team with character, but how much character do the 2009 Patriots have?

Oh, we'll probably lose in the second round. But we'll make it in.

Well then, I think you've just come up with our answer. Our team needs to see the Wizard, and find itself a Heart!

You mean the Jets that are starting Kellen Clemens at quarterback and got swept by the Dolphins?
