I say Yes.


Ravens lost their DPOY in Suggs.

Steelers lost Aaron Smith, Farrior, and Hines Ward. James Harrison and Polamalu have been steadily slowing down.

Colts are done for now. Chargers are annual disappointments.

Broncos might be a threat, but they aren't elite. Peyton has done less, with more talent around him.

Texans are the only real competition in the AFC IMO.

Bring on the 2012 Season

i want to say yes..but it's so hard getting there twice in a row...i think Houston, Ravens and Pats...one of those will be there in the end

and the pats play them both...i think they lose in balt...but beat houston in a barn burner

eagle eye

One line in that post that I'm not too sure about is 'Colts are done for now'. I don't expect them to be great this year but Luck is a real special QB and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he took up where Peyton left off.

As for the question, lets just see how they get through TC and preseason first. All it takes is the loss of a couple of key players to make things real hard. If they make it through the season with a healthy squad then I think they will go real close.

YES

I don't say that as a fanboy either. I think the Patriots are the best team in the AFC. The biggest challenge as I see it is Houston.

Observer

Yes.
In fact, I can't think of any team more likely to make the Super Bowl than the pats.

Deus Irae

I expect Vegas to make them the favorite from the AFC.

I won't say whether we'll make it to the SB or not (avoiding a jinx) but I will say our main competition is Houston and Baltimore. Don't sleep on the Ravens, Suggs may come back later in the year and don't forget the revenge factor.

Unfortunately, no. A heartbreaking loss in the playoffs awaits us to an up and coming team.

I sincerely hope I am wrong.

If Tom Brady is as young as I think he might be, yes. If not, or if he sustains one of those slow down injuries, maybe not.

If it's the Pats against the rest of the AFC field, then the odds are no.

If it's the Pats against each AFC team individually, then I'd rather put money on the Pats than any other team.
