Default What would you rather take- the 3rd or 4th seed??

Let's say 2nd seed is out of reach. I'd take fourth because if we win in the WC round with a 3rd, we go to either Denver or Baltimore. If we are 4th seed and win the 3rd seed will likely win, therefore we go to Houston. I really feel we match up well with them, and its easier to go to Houston than Denver.

Thoughts??

I don't care. I'm not convinced that we can't end up a #1 or #2 seed, and if BB can fix the secondary by playoff time it won't matter who we play. Bring the bastards on. If he does fix the problems, it also probably won 't matter that much who we play, at least not for mire Han a game or so.

Why would we go TO Denver with a 3 seed? Denver would be coming back to New England.

There is nothing that I have seen this year that would lead me to believe that playing the Texans in Houston would be easier than playing at Denver or Baltimore; in fact, to me just the opposit is true.

I think you may be your opinion to much on performances from prior years, and not so much on what is taking place this year. For example the Ravens' defense is not remotely close to what it has been in previous seasons, and Houston is a far superior team than what they were prior to 2011.

If our pass defense improves to even the level of "decent", we'll win by multiple scores against Baltimore.

I recall youi making similar posts all last year, right up until the superbowl, when the defense gave up fewer than 20 points. Give it a rest.

Meanwhile any conversation about seeds is meaningless until about the last 2 games or so.

Find them.

While you're looking for that, are you somehow saying that the pass defense is not struggling? If not, what was the point of that post?

If the Pats beat Indy and the Steelers beat the Ravens this weekend the Pats would be the current two seed. It's way too early for the seed speculation.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Doesn't matter. Either way it's going to be extremely difficult to get far with the way the D is playing. Just make the playoffs then go with the flow
