All good man. I went with 14-2 at start of season. My losses were in SD and a Div loss (NYJ, shows how much I know). 17-2 just felt right. If we add another stand to the Patriot HOF room with a gleaming football then it's all good for everybody, no matter the record.No man, I like it. I thought you took my original post out of context. I like the win out prediction but health is important. And losing in SD is ok if SD is fighting for their lives. Losing to Buffalo is ok if its a meaningless game which it may very well be.
Egad. Eli with 3. The thought just made me throw up in my mouth. . Go Colts!Just want 1 more SB win and then its all gravy after that because the GOAT will be cemented.
My other wish is for nobody named Manning to ever win another SB. Imagine if Payton won another? You think he is on TV a lot now? Imagine Eli with 3 rings?
Buffalo comes HERE, 29. We already beat their behinds up there.
Hate to say it but you wonder if Buffalo will be fighting for the 6th seed.. ehh who am I kidding it's Buffalo.Yes, I know. My original point is that it could not be a trap game.
Then I figured it might just be a meaningless game with playoff seeds set. So they could throw it.
Then again, it could be the game that decides something big like a bye or hopefully HFA. So in that case Buffalo should get crushed at Foxboro.
But if its scenario 2 it could be a loss - meaningless loss.
Live near the same area as you and yeah I agree that we match up well with them for most of their success runs through Cobb and Nelson, which we can stick Browner and Revis on each.People are overlooking the fact that the Pats are the hottest team inn football right now AND they aren't even playing their best. Imagine when Jones gets back, along with Siliga. Living in IL, I get several GB games, and the only way they win is if Rodgers goes off and wins it by himself. I still think Rebis and Browner can lock up Nelson and Cobb for the most part.
If the Pats can average 3.5 ypc and Gronk is healthy, they'll be tough to beat
What is bradys record after a bye? anyone have that stat?
Regular season
9-3
Loss in 2002 at home to Denver
Loss in 2011 @ Pittsburgh
And last year's screw job in Carolina
Hmmm...
Four games against teams from outside the Division with a combined record of 21--12, three on the Road.
Three Division Games, two at home against teams that are 10--6 and a third on the road against a team that will be playing its Super Bowl, Game Seven and World Cup Final all rolled into one day in the Meadowlands.
I could see them winning any one of those seven games or losing any one of them.
If the team that beat Denver last night shows up every week and if a few calls and breaks go their way and there are no more injuries (Mayo and Ridley were big injuries!), they win out.
If they have an off-week or two or run up against a team "on fire," get a couple of bad calls or breaks and another big injury, then I could see them losing two or three of those games.
As far as I can see, there is only one way to think about this (without going crazy), in the immortal words of BB: "We're moving on to Indianapolis."
I don't think it's a cop-out to say the schedule is tough. It really is. Three of the next four on the road, two of them on SNF.
I don't think it's a cop-out to say the schedule is tough. It really is. Three of the next four on the road, two of them on SNF. (And scheduling does matter - our guys were clearly gassed in the Jets game.) First two against division leaders; one the highest scoring team in the league, in their ridiculous dome; the other the league's top scoring defense. And then, if we beat Det, GB might be in 1st when we play them. Plus, who knows, Rodgers -- who btw is the current leader in passer rating -- may go off at Lambeau.
Dolphins playing well of late. And, in any event, they and the Jets play us tough more often than not. I'd say no chance to breath until Buffalo, except that they currently sport a winning record and a top-10 defense.
I'd be pretty happy with 5-2 down the stretch TBH. And I'd still likely feel we're the best team in the league.
