Not sure Tennessee really has that much momentum. They lost 2 of their last 3 games and the one win was against a Texans team resting all their starters. They will be a tough out surely, but I don't think they have a ton of momentum. The Patriots have only allowed four 100 yard rushers in 16...

Interestingly the Patriots are a +10 in TO differential, an even +5 at home and +5 away. That's good enough for 5th best in the NFL. The Chiefs are 6th best at +9 but they are an overall +11 at home, -2 away. The Chiefs are good at creating turnovers in Arrowhead so the Patriots will need to...

I didn't claim that I thought the Patriots WOULD play a turnover free game. I was just answering the poster who said the Chiefs could turn it over "a few" times and still win. The only thing I'm saying is that if the Chiefs turn it over a few times and the Patriots don't, the odds of the...

If the Chiefs turn the ball over a few times, they won't win the game unless the Patriots turn it over several times too. If the Patriots play a turnover free game and get several takeaways, the Chiefs odds of winning go WAY down. The Chiefs do have more margin for error being at home but if...

To be fair, three of the five road losses this season came on or prior to Nov. 11. Those three earliest road losses were by far the ugliest of the five. The two December road losses were by a combined 8 points and they should have taken the one in Miami, which would have left them at .500 on...

I agree with you there. However the streak of teams winning 9+ games on the road all winning the Super Bowl is gonna still be tough for them to continue. They have to beat the Patriots, then the Chiefs or Colts and then whichever team comes out of the NFC. Still quite a mountain to climb. I...

I was thinking the Chargers were 8-1 away from home so far but forgot they also played a "home" game in Wembley Stadium so they are indeed 9-1 away from home. That's a pretty interesting stat of teams winning 9+ on the road all winning the SB.

Maybe not, but aside from a few notable exceptions, some of those teams had glaring weaknesses as well. Any historical comparison can be argued to be irrelevant. Just ask Belichick. I was just pointing out what they've done historically to offer a counter argument to the statement by the...

Not sure the historical evidence suggests that they show up flat for games after playoff bye weeks. Since 2001, the Patriots are 11-1 in the postseason after receiving a first round bye, and 7-0 since the one loss in 2010. They have outscored their opponent in those 11 wins by a score of 344...

Let me see here... so the defense was already gassed to start the game last night? Because yes, Brady didn't get a first down on the opening series. But then the defense came out for their first series and promptly gave up a 12 play, seven and a half minute drive. The Lions didn't run one...

I had a feeling that things weren't going to go well last night when Patterson returned the opening kick out to the 44 yard line and then the offense quickly went three and out, squandering that field position. I wish they had thrown Gordon out there. If nothing else, perhaps he would have...

We've seen this story before. Pats have gone 2-2 in September 3 out of the last 6 years and every one of those years have ended with a 12-4 or better record, including winning the Superbowl against the Seahawks after starting 2-2 that season. They'll figure it out and will start playing better...

And that 27 points the Colts have includes a Patriots gift. I'll take the win. On to New York!

Some guy over on the Patriots Planet message board is now claiming responsibility for the "whistle blower" posts on the Bills message board. If true, hilarious! I posted earlier in this thread agreeing with another poster that this had to be someone trolling the Bills fans. I'm not at all...

Totally agree with Tony. Has to be someone trolling the Bills message board. He claims that he will be releasing some redacted emails tonight. To show how "serious" he is. And one of his writing partners is a Dolphins fan. I expect this is a complete troll messing with Bills fans.

As many have already said, this crap is going to happen all season long and we will have to learn to deal with it without pulling out our hair. My dad was at the bank talking to a teller friend of his two days ago about Brady. Some lady two lines over and not involved in the conversation in...

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but a writer on nfl.com by the name of Bucky Brooks has written an article listing his top 10 QBs. He has Brady at #5, with an asterisk next to his name. The text sites the "stench emanating from the Deflategate scandal" as the reason for the...

I couldn't agree more. Take whatever fines they are assessed for not talking to them. And add Chris "Mad Dog" Russo to that list as well. He has been screaming into his microphone on Mad Dog Sirius radio all afternoon that the Patriots are cheaters, someone removed the air from the balls...

Here's another Indianapolis media jackass posing as a professional writer. Doyel: Deflating ball beneath most; but this is the Pats | Indy Star What if the NFL finds that the Patriots were in fact using a football that was deflated below regulation levels? Maybe the NFL won't be able to...
