English Patriot

Pete Prisco projected the records of each team and i think you'll be surprised at what he thought the Pats will go in 2012 and also the numbers that 2 certain players will put up. (Look at the graphic at the top of the article)

Prisco..Wow. Who slipped him the Kool-Aid? After years (? decade) of bashing and belittling, he seems downright impressed with this team.....

I'm genuinely shocked that he thinks this team is perfection in the making (despite our schedule being slightly easy)

Also shocked that he thinks Brady and Welker will still pretty much average what they did last season especially Wes because you have Lloyd taking his yards away plus a bigger projected role for Hernandez.

lol... Pats winning the AFC by 5 full games over second place Denver. 16-0 to 11-5. I would hate the Patriots if read this and weren't a Patriots fan.

16-0. That's rather flattering but as seasons go 14-2 or 13-3 looks more realistic. 4 months is a long time in football (as we've observed).

Off topic but Prisco has a poor opinion of the AFC as a total.

Damn it! Prisco predicts 16-0. That means the Pats are destined for a 6-10 record.

Of Prisco can't help being Prisco in that he wonders if the Pats brought in Fells, Scaife, and Ballard as insurance for Gronk not recovering from his injury and/or stay healthy. It would make sense if Fells wasn't primarily a blocking TE, Scaife is done, and Ballard probably will spend the season on IR.

And one last thing, I still don't get why everyone continues to report Dennard had a "poor showings at the Senior Bow". He didn't play in the Senior Bowl. I think he practiced three days and practiced poorly for two and well for one before getting an injury that forced him to pull out of the playing the game and possibly affected his combine.

Deus Irae

16-0 or 0-16...

It's still Prisco, so it's still crap.

Agreed, however I dont see Prisco's name on the article that is linked. Am I missing something?

Rob0729

Right above the prediction of 16-0. Based what I can see, an unnamed CBS staff writer wrote the article and Prisco makes the predictions. That is how a lot of the magazines do it like SI and the Sporting News. Have a lower level writer write the entire write up and have the big name writer make the record prediction.
