Jetsies could still make playoffs - New England Patriots Forums

I thought they were done, but one more loss and they'd still end up 10-6 which might be good enough. I think they are the only team the pats could definitely beat, that is if they don't choke. Well, should be able to beat the raiders too, I think.

Jets would be the best matchup for the pats..not worried about playing them a third time after beating them pretty bad the first 2 times as some posters are

I see the jets making the playoffs by dumb luck..which is always on their side

The Pats could beat any team in the playoffs since no team has played perfect football and have struggled at times. Even the Packers could lose in a shootout.

I think the Pats could beat the Ravens because they are running team and the Pats have been far better vs. the run.

IMO they need to play the ravens at home to beat them..this is why the #1 seed is so dam important

The can beat them there..but it will be tough..Bal is good at home and not sure how this D will survive on the road

I agree. I think they could lose any of their remaining games. I watched a lot of their game today and their offense sucked again for three quarters and their defense struggled at times a lot. Playing Rex Grossman definitely helped them today. I could see them losing two more games.

Even if BAL gets the #1 (or the #5 if PIT wins the AFCN) they will likely have to play Pittsburgh in a 1 vs 5 matchup.

I'm liking the chances that PIT gets them in the playoffs, and beats them.

I'm hoping for the #2 seed. It would be a much easier path in my opinion.

There's the 3 big guns - Steelers, Pats, Ravens
The AFCS winner Houston who are still amazingly playing like the big guns despite not having their QB, top threat, and top defensive player.
The AFCW winner whoever that may be.

Then the 6th spot is wide open, I believe a 4 way tie right now including the Jets. Of course they're not finished.

I'm rooting for them to make it. I'd rather play a team at home I've already beaten twice, including on the road.

ya im not as negative as other posters about our chances in the playoffs this year...ive said it before, but the AFC is wide open for the Patriots...if theres any year to win it with a defense like we have this is the year. there is no QB in the AFC right now who can effectively exploit our secondary. Sanchez, palmer? a game with the Ravens really depends on our offense vs their defense. and the Steelers have always been a good matchup for us. .sure they beat us earlier in teh season but Im not sure they can beat us twice.
