SVN · Sep 22, 2015

Way too early to say anything after 2 games. As bruschi said today

I know the season is early and everything can change but the Patriots look really really good this year despite all the player loses from the Super Bowl Championship team. Who is your prediction to meet them in the AFC Championship game?

OK, people, I can sense the theme with the questions today. I just want to tell everybody -- pump the brakes. It's the same thing that happens when we're overreacting to one loss to Kansas City last year. Now we're overreacting to two wins right out of the gate. There's a long way to go.

A 19-0 run would be the EPIC F-you tour.

Can you IMAGINE the hatred from the NFL front office, and our rivals, come the Super Bowl?

19-0 is not happening.

Did you hear the bills fans. They were going to destroy us. Talk to a jets fan, their team is going to kill us too. Why is it losing franchises always think they are going to win but talk to some pats fan and we are going to lose. Follow a game day thread and our team is hopeless. Remember playoffs last year and Brady posted a photo of him riding a horse before playing the colts and most our fans were scared of motivation that would give them and we were going to be stomped. After deflategate and even the first game when they say we cheated again I say we stand up tall and back down from no one. There will be some tough opponents but I like our chances against anyone.

The reason for this is pats fans have 15 years of excellence and winning to look on and analyze. We have been through a 16-0 season where we didnt win the superbowl. Last year we saw the team was a work in progress and we almost lost to baltimore and everything would have been for naught. Jets fans and bills fans really have no frame of reference. What they see is we are better this year so we will beat the pats. Not to be condescending but they have no idea about what it takes work wise, skill wise and sometimes luck wise to go deep in the playoffs much less win a superbowl. Pats fans know even with the goat head coach and goat qb its hard to win superbowls. Jets fans are the type of people that when they are dealt pocket queens they are shocked when they get beat at poker. They have no idea about odds or who else is sitting at the table.

Jax is absolutely going to be cupcake city. They've gone from an embarrassment to mediocre. Big frigging deal.

Pats are gonna role teams all year. Gronk is in his prime and nobody in the league has an answer for him.
19-0 is my prediction. Call me a homer I couldn't care less.

It won't be until about Thanksgiving before we really know who teams are. I think the Pats have excellent depth right now in numerous areas, and that will be a factor as injuries work their way through all 32 rosters. Given how top-heavy the Dolphins, Jets and Bills are, I expect that to become an issue for the rest of the rest of the division.

EDIT: Bills are below average in percentage allocated to Top Ten, so I was wrong about that. I was basing my opinion on the amount they had invested just on the D-Line.

Pats are doing this without Stork, LaFell and Blount just came back. Barring injuries the best may be yet to come

festy1986 · Sep 22, 2015

I'd die if we can go 19-0 against basically the same schedule we did in 07

I'd prolly also die for real if they lost in the superbowl after another undefeated season.

That saidx just get a first round bye and go from there.

JR4 · Sep 22, 2015

16-0??? possible. There is no team on the schedule that the PATS can not beat.
It is possible but not probable. But things happen. To go 16-0 you need a good schedule,
no major injuries , a great team both O and D and then you still need some luck mixed in here and there.

venecol · Sep 22, 2015

Yea, I'm all for being positive but this is the NFL not a pee wee league. There are so many things that even BB can't control such as injuries or bad calls. He will prepare the team to win regardless of the opponent. I guarantee you the word cup cake is not in his vocabulary.

The 07' schedule was much harder than this one....which makes what they achieved even more impressive!

The 2007 schedule was the toughest in the NFL based on 2006 records. This schedule has got to be one of the easiest.

I just care about the superbowl. a great record would be the frosting on the cake, but the superbowl is all I want this season. To see god'dell hand the Lombardi over to Kraft, BB, or especially Brady? Are you KIDDING me? Please let it happen!

I'm with you! All I want is the number 1 seed in the AFC playoffs by whatever record it takes! Once we punch our tickets to the big dance we'll have good as chance anyone to win the whole thing once again!

Just watched bradley fletcher play again tonight in the bills-pats replay. Yeah, dont think we are the same defense as 2007. Heck last year's secondary was better than 2007 and we still lost a few games.

I could see Tennessee being a trap game if Mariota plays awesome. They have a few good receivers and I think David Cobb could be good...

Tennessee doesn't have much talent on their roster, I just can't see them coming into Foxboro and winning. they won't lose 59-0 but they still aren't very good

meatface · Sep 23, 2015

The Schedule is pretty soft but Miami and the jets always bring their a-game when they play us

Only wish I had was that the BYE wasn't in week 4. Sucks it's so early.

I think that this year it's a plus. Let Brady get a rest after a long long offseason. This will be his first time to relax after the suspension was overturned that he will have an opportunity to rest.

The media are already concerned with their cinderella Colts team being 0-2 so the media scrutiny is at its lowest for Brady since January.

Assuming health of key guys here is how i see it

Week 3 - vs Jax - win
Week 4 - bye
Week 5 - at Dal - win (no romo)
Week 6 - at Ind - win.. lock of the year TBH. Pats want this one REALLY bad.
Week 7 - vs NYJ - likely win but i see both NYJ games as possible trap games even at home.
Week 8 - vs Mia - should win - If the front is not working out i am not sold on that secondary
Week 9 - vs Was - win
Week 10 - at NYG - possible trap game
Week 11 - vs Buf - win
Week 12 - at Den - win (team won't be over confident so no trap game and Manning should be looking pretty bad by now
Week 13 - vs Phi - win
Week 14 - at Hou - win
Week 15 - vs Ten - win
Week 16 - at NYJ - possible trap game
Week 17 - at Mia - win (Miami this time of year should be fine)

So i see plenty of potential trap games. I think we lose 1-2 of them. 14-2 or 15-1 I don't think we lose Denver at all. If you think he has looked meh now you wait till Nov 29th.

If the pats are at 1 or more losses, and seeding is not an issue, look for another "training" game plan by BB and company @ Miami. Unless Miami is in with a win.
