Will the Pats run the table? - New England Patriots Forums

Three games to go. Two of them at home.

Vs Packers. Rodgers likely to miss game with concussion and we're at home where Tommy Boy is invincible. I like our odds. W.
@ Buffalo. Worst team in the division. We have to go on the road but the Pats have shown that road games are no problemo this season. W.
Vs Miami. They've been playing better lately but they don't have the firepower to matchup against the Pats. They barely mustered 10 points against a team we blew out by 42. The only wrinkle I could see is if the Pats have the #1 seed locked up by then and BB decided to sit out Brady and some key starters for this game. Then the odds could definitely change. A sure W if we play our starters for 3 quarters. A maybe W if we sit them for the final game with the #1 seed locked up.

Oh BTW anyone care to revise those 10-6 predictions now? LOL oops we already hit 11 wins. Too late! Looks like my 'minimum' of 12-4 was right on the nose. And we might even better that to end up 14-2.

This is one heckuva football team by the way. I have hardly ever seen a better first half of football then what they dropped on the Bears this past game. 33-0? Wow. Brady to Branch to end the half with the Bears defense caught with pants down. Simply beautiful. And all of this in blizzard like conditions. That deserves another Wow. This Patriots team looks really special this year and their offense is like a work of art. Consistently dazzling and explosive. The term "Shock and Awe" comes to mind. *g*

I picked 10-6 or 9-7.. and I'm eating my crow gladly, its delicious.

That said, It was before Moss left so I'm calling a mulligan.

This predicting the record crowing is getting a little old...

So you are claiming that if you knew Moss would no longer be with the team after the bye week you would have predicted a higher season total?

I think we go the rest of the season without a loss.

I personally thought we would go 11-5 this season. I am VERY surprised and happy you wouldnt even believe!

Just win the next 2 and take care of all the clinching and then in the miami game rest some players up and get ready for the start of the real season.

Hard to really say with when they clinch the #1 seed and whether or not the last game of the year really matters and what BB chooses to do with his starters during the game

We could definately run the table. I see it happeneing. The Fins look "decent" at most again but nothing to serious, plus they have to come to Foxboro to play us. Bills actually seems like it'll be a good game but we'll win. Greenbay wasn't that big of a deal to me before Rodgers dropped.

I'd prefer to see the Pats go 17-2.

If they were going to lose a game coming in, I thought it would have been yesterday. I don't see them losing at home and I don't see them losing a division game. BB typically doesn't "rest his starters" in week 17 even if there's nothing on the line and I also think that the home Regular Season winning streak does mean something to Brady.

So, unless BB sits Brady at the start of the Miami game (probably not happening), I think they win out.
