That means that, for the next 7 weeks (if all goes well) they are landlocked in Foxboro and their only trip is the quickie to Buffalo.
That's pretty good for franchise-wide logistics.
I'm still pinching myself that they're 11-2 with inside track to the No. 1 seed. Totally beyond my expectations. And the last two weeks they've been playing like champions. Amazing. :rocker:

I love the fact that for the next 43 days or so ( not counting any chickens - if everything goes well), the organization can basically hunker in the bunker.

Yup, and emerge from the bowels
So they would get the following:
Home
Buffalo
Home
Bye (at home)
Home
Now compare that to some other teams that may be coming to Foxboro in the playoffs:
SD as the #6 seed:
Home
Cincinnati
Denver
Road (KC, Indy, Jacksonville)
Foxboro
Jags as the #6 seed:
Indy
Home
Houston
Road (KC, Indy, SD)
Foxboro
Jets as the #6 seed:
Pittsburgh
Chicago
Home
Road (KC, Indy, SD, Jacksonville)
Foxboro
Don't forget that the Pats were playing their 4th roadie in 5 weeks when they lost to the Colts in the 2006 AFCC game.
Why don't you expect the 6th seed to be beaten while the patriots are in their bye week? The #4 or #5 seed seem more likely opponents for the patriots.
Dallas is pretty far away though.
when you rest up your guys while the other team flies, that's logistics
when your plans are all set, diggin' in in Gillette, that's logistics
Bells will ring, ringadingading, ringadingading,that's logistics
Screw the Colts, screw the Jets, it all goes through Gillette, that's logissssstics
thank you, thank you very much
