15-1,

with the loss against Carolina.
 
they will go 6-0 inside the division
6-4 or 5-5 outside of it.....

the ravens are full of holes.......lots of retiring and FA's.......they will take a step back

houston still has schaub, and manning is a year older.......

the AFC is up for grabs.....

the pats will do the same thing until someone pushes them around

Ravens always play pats good and to the final qtr...they always split..so that game is 50/50..but deff favors ravens since at home
 
If, heaven forbid, Baltimore wins in ’Nawlins, can pretty much count on a Pats at Baltimore opener. Might happen anyway. Win down there would be an awesome start.

Opening game may happen but networks usually keep big games for mid season for higher ratings so you never know.

True, but we all know November is Brady-Manning time.
 
god the jets are going to be bad next year
 
Last year many of us thought that the 2012 schedule was going to be easy. How did that work out? It wasn't as easy as we thought was it? I learned a lesson though. Teams change from year to year. It is not wise to judge an opponent based on what happened in a previous season. Lets wait and see how the off season turns out. Lets wait and see how these teams change. :)

Oh i know. The schedule may look tough on paper..but some of those teams may regress. ATLs D is bad IMO. TB is iffy as i feel like with freeman...anything is possible. NO..who knows what their D will be like. But their Os are very very good

Brady will always struggle with balt...
 
A HEALTHY Gronk all year would make a HUGE difference, especially in the playoffs.

Also re-signing Talib and getting a full TC with him and Dennard at CB.

Jones and Hightower making a jump in year 2..

Demps perhaps returning kicks????

Biggest issue will be the team staying relatively HEALTHY !! :rocker:
 
Right now I see losses @BAL, @MIA, @ATL. Probably a :confused: loss or two along the way. I definitely think week 1 will be @BAL and week 7 will be the Saints because of the record.

Baltimore is about to lose half of its roster to FA once the Flacco deal is all said and done. The 2013-14 Ravens don't scare me one bit.

Let's not forget Ballard :cool:
 
Ed Reed playing for the Pats and intercepting Flacco to seal the win would be classic. :D But, let's hope they don't beat the 49ers.

On balance, this schedule looks brutal.
Shaughnessy will describe it as a row of 16 "tomato cans."
 
Not a very travel friendly schedule. New Orleans - Tampa Bay in Foxboro? Would rather travel to NO to watch the game on a tv there.
 
Home-Buffalo, Miami, N.Y. Jets, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Denver

Away-Buffalo, Miami, N.Y. Jets, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Carolina, Houston

I know it's early but the schedule is much more difficult than this year. Atlanta, balt, Cincy, Houston, Pitt, NO, Den, TB..all tough games IMO

I still see a 11-5, 12-4 year but some of those teams pats will struggle against with current roster...obviously FA and draft will decide some things as well

I can only speak to the teams I know a great deal about. Atl is broken. Lost once to us with no coach, and players, and almost lost the 2nd game with 5 turnovers. Turner and likey gonzalez are not returning next year, and even if they do both get worse every season. Blanks look on the sidelines makes us even wonder if smith will be coaching next season. But there is a storm cloud in Atl, and we all see it. Major change will happen next season, and I would be suprised if Atl is even in contention for a playoff spot. Their home is not as hard to play in as the NFL wants people to believe. We win their almost every year, and so do other great teams. Its not even loud.

I would say you win this game.

Tampa Bay, funny, but we consider to be the 2nd best team, and the 2nd best QB in the NFCS. Freeman has the strength of Big Ben, and the accuracy of Brees. But their coaching is horrible, and play calling even worse. Id look for them to start taking Atl spot next season. IF SP coach that team they would crush the NFCS. There is so much talent on that team.

Win can go either way,depends on who shows up,and they get lucky with play calling.

Carolina is a mess, from the top down. From owner to coach. I mean he fired Fox remember, and what did Fox do in denver. They wont do much better next year.

I think you win this game

New Orleans ? Its imposible that bad things will happen on offense with SP back. Hes proved that to me since 2006. Consistant scoring. I think the offense will be the best its ever been, adding Morgan (who is better than meachum), Ingram ( has actually turned out to be a brilliant runner between the tackles). So two better weapons than we had. The offense will go back to the 34 pts a game average.
The defense was only fixed one year, in 2009, and it still was not good. Just had turnovers that year. So, I expect the same, logically.
So a #1-5 offence, and maybe, if lucky, a #25-20 defense.

I think you win this one because its at your home. The myth is the offense cant play on turf or away games. The truth is the defense falls apart outside of the Dome.
You will score all day and we will be in a shoot out like in GB. But I think you win this, and when you do please buy our fans a beer. We are good people, just talk a bit weird sometimes,lol. Ill be there, and Ill be telling our fans to bring their kids to this game.

so, to recap you will be 4-0 or 1-3 vs the NFCS, with al loss comming from either TB or maybe NO, if you lose a shoot out.

What was looking like a fairly tough schedule is becoming a walk in the park. Our division has gone from bad to horrendous. The AFC North fell apart in front of our very eyes. NO hasn't done anything. I think there are only 4 tough games; Denver, at Houston(They're getting new jackets:), at Atlanta and at Cincy. I want to see more of Tanneyhill before I put them in the tough category. We did shut them out because he sucked. I also don't think Cincy and Houston are too invincible either.
 
So after some FA moves...what is everyones take now on their schdule? I still think it's a tough one. Saints will be better. ATL will be good again. Denver good as well. Balt always plays pats tough..pitt ehh...cincy..could be tough. But they play Saints and Denver at home so that's a plus

In ATL may be a tough one
 
Actually I think the pats have a 14-2 or better record. Teams look tough but I think this year is it. We have been lingering around a SB title and this is the year. I even think 16-0 is a possibility.
