Patriots are a home underdog vs Bengals

Imagine this secondary if we can't resign McCourty and Revis walks.

Does anybody know the implications on our cap for parting ways with Mayo after this season? He's paid like a difference maker, but he shouldn't be.

They'd save north of $4M, I think.

what? you don't like the idea of a chung/harmon safety duo?
we'll keep mccourty, not sure about revis. does he really want to play leave for another team again? lol 4 teams in 4 years..

Revis is gone. I'll bet on a mysterious "hamstring injury" for Revis once we're no longer in the playoff hunt.

For all of the talent homers like to say we have on this team, look at the Bengals and tell me one position group where our talent even matches theirs, let alone exceeds it.

I am surprised you and others feel this way about the Pats.

Our CBs starting in this Cinn game are better than their CBs.
Our field goal kicker is better than theirs.
Our punter is better than theirs
Our safeties are better than theirs
Edelmam and LaFell are better than their WRs
Our defense is equal to theirs
Our TEs are better than theirs

And

Brady is a better QB than theirs. It's not his fault Josh McDaniels is calling the plays that's on BB. It's not Brady's fault that BB didn't draft and get better OL men. It's not Brady's fault the OL coach retired and the replacement doesn't know what to do and is disliked by the OL that's on BB. Brady is playing banged up after all the hits he has taken in 4 games so far.

It will be tough to win this one Cinny had a bye so they are rested and the Pats had only 6 days coming off a very bad game.

Have faith!l

Edelman and LaFell are not as good as the CIN WRs. CIN has one of the best in the game in AJ Green. That alone makes them better.

a new level of homerism.

Can't win if you can't score.

I would like to know what you're smoking.

Speaking of smoking, that's exactly what the Bengals will be doing on Sunday night. They'll SMOKE us.

I'm not giving up on our playoff chances yet, but probably will if we aren't competitive this game. A blowout loss at home on national TV 6 days after KC would just show this team has no fight, in addition to little talent.

That being said, I expect the Pats to come out and play their butts off, and I'm quite hopeful for a win. Time to get the season back on track. We can't wait another week.

TB needs to call his own plays and give McD the big FU.

I would love to know whether the go-pattern to Edelman on the second play of the game was a called play or a Brady audible at the line. Brady appears to be changing the play at the line, but, of course, we don't really know. He was going to Edelman no matter what, probably because he saw one-on-one coverage.

Those throw-away plays are killing a team that is really struggling to stay on the field.

Based off of what exactly? This team has shown nothing to suggest they can beat anyone by 20+, they barely beat the Raiders here for christ's sake and you think we're going to stomp arguably the most complete team in football by three scores? Lol.

Wow, opinions of Bengals have improved almost as much as those of Brandon Spikes since the Patriots got their asses kicked Monday night.

Hey, @Brewskies, you really think Edelman and LaFell are better than AJ Green and Marvin Jones? I love me some Edelman but neither he nor LaFell is in the same stratosphere as Green.

Put $40 on them
