With the schedules being released today one of the topics on NFL Live was - Will Patriots repeat 16-0 regular season?

Cris Carter
"I would not be surprised at all. I believe it's easier to bounce back now than if they had won it. The schedule is mapped out for them and their big time games are spread out over the course of the season."

Ron Jaworski
"I think there is a very good chance they can go undefeated."

Wanted to get the undefeated/ESPN talk off to a quick start because I know how much you guys love it.

Meh I just want a damn Superbowl. 19-0 would be nice but I'd prefer not to watch another horror show when the Pats had the perfect season in their grasp and failed to close out the game.

Way too early to tell imo. Those guys usually throw stuff out there early and hope something sticks by end of the season.

I love the vote of confidence from Jaws - one ESPN analyst whom I actually respect - but it ain't gonna happen. Too much can go wrong - like what happened in the Super Bowl.

It was bad enough last year when it started after Week 2. Now it's before the draft . . .

Sure it's possible but dear God let's not fall onto that sinking ship again! Lot's of travel plans in the Pats schedule this year and I'm just crossing my fingers that we don't have some tired legs by the time January comes around.

Now just wait for the elite #7 and a the draft day deal for Pacman Jones.

The schedule this year on paper is easier save the two back-to-back west coast games. But look at last year:

We were pretty healthy all year except for Colvin, which obviously didn't derail 16-0. Everyone else of note played every game (Offense, Vince, AD, Asante). Yes Seymour and Rodney missed a few at the beginning.

But we had San Diego at the ideal time in the schedule (this year on the road), early on when they were still working in a new coach and were playing very poorly. Several teams we played last year were worse than we expected (ie Baltimore, Jets, Miami, Cincinnati).

Last year we had the ideal bye week late in the year and right after the emotional Colts game. This year the bye is quite early.

Last year we played 3 of the last 4 at home with the road game in NY. This year 4 of the last 6 are on the road and two of those are on the left coast.

I'd be shocked if we went 16-0 last year, despite that we are still the AFC and Super Bowl favorite.

Id love to do it but I dont think I can put up with all that talk for another season, though I do not wishfully to lose a game, if we lost one to a non rival like maybe Oakland (not that I want to) it could end the undefeated talk distraction without really sacerficing our seeding.

That being said, The Pats should win 12-13 games for there offense alone, but no one can really say at this point in the off season the Pats are better on defense then they were last year and unless they improve then I dont expect them to win the SB, but suffer another devistating loss in a championship game.

Please God, no. I actually hope the Pats lose in one of the opening weeks so we can finally shell all of this undefeated talk from ESPN and sports analysts alike. Just let us have one or two losses in the regular season and a Super Bowl and I'll be happy.
