Patriots on verge of fighting for last 2 playoff spots - New England Patriots Forums

The Patriots are currently holding the 5th slot in the AFC for a playoff spot. They way they're playing something tells me that it will all come down to who wins the AFCE and that team might end up with the 6th seed. The Jets schedule is just as easy or more so then the Patriots. The Patriots could easily lose to the Packers, Bears or Dolphins and the way the Titans and Texans have been playing compared to the Patriots I feel it's going to be rough sailing.

A quick glance at the schedule has us in the 3rd spot as leaders of the East not sure what your talking about.

Division winners are at worst 4th seeds , not sure how you are calculating 6.

What an iiiiiiiddddiot...as winners of the East we cannot be a 6 seed. It was 2 rough games, no need to hang yourself over it. Hopefully, we regroup next week.
