I like what they say about the Pats

Hopefully they choose to be.

The funny thing is, the Pats and Jets have the same schedule next year, except:

The Pats play the Ravens, while the Jets play the Steelers.
The Pats play the Broncos, while the Jets play the Chargers.

Looks like the Jets will likely have a tougher schedule. I honestly think Gang Green will win 4-5 games.

Before they start dealing with the unknown have to decide what they will do with proven dudes like, BJGE, Anderson, Carter and Welker.

I'm very excited about our schedule. I'd be shocked if we didn't end up winning the AFC East with the #1 or #2 seed.

The one thing I don't care for in articles like this is that they don't take into account how many players on the current roster are under contract for 2012 or beyond, or more specifically how many starters/key subs are under contract for next year and beyond.

Team A might have a projected cap that is $25 million less than Team B, but if they have a dozen more players that are getting a lot of playing time due to become free agents on March 1, can they really be considered to be in a better position?

Besides, we're 48 hours away from the conference championship game. I suppose this information is relevant to fans of the three other AFC East teams, but I couldn't care less about the 2012 cap for (hopefully) three more weeks.

It's still worth looking at, and it lists the big name free agents we should all be concerned with.

I'm just happy the pats are in strong enough position that Welker should be all but a done deal.

The good news can free up $10 million of cap space too with some minor cuts like Ochocinco and Mike Wright and one bigger cut in Matt Light (or a restructure of him). Granted a franchise tag on Welker will take $9.4 million of cap space.

Now the question is whether that includes the 2011 unused cap number which is allowed to be pushed forward in 2012 because of the new CBA. The Pats had about $8 million in unused cap money in 2011.
