PSA: Patriots are now the #7 seed [edit: now the #6 seed post-week 11]

[Ross12]

With the Chargers losing, the Pats move up into the 7th slot in the AFC, right behind the previously invincible Buffalo Bills at #6.

Interestingly, all four AFC East teams are currently playoff teams. Doubt that will remain the case by season’s end.

Seems very similar to last year around the time of the bye.

Slightly different... Pats were the #1 seed.

It is highly possible that all 4 afc east teams make the play offs

Super bowl bound baby

Yay I guess. Doesn't really mean anything at this point in the season. Hopefully we can keep winning and the offense/mac can figure it out so we can not only get in but be a threat to do something.

Aside from KC what a bunch of no guts Teams in the AFC West.

Would be the first time since1998..... for the AFCE at least...any other divisions?

I am pretty sure it has never happened an entire division made it because up till last year it was impossible

In '98, the Dolts were in the AFCE....so 4/5 went to the playoffs....

It's a product of the new, terrible playoff format.

As of today, a 7th seed. We'll see after they play Buffalo x 2, NYJ, Arizona, Miami, and Cincy....

It is the opposite of the Dan Duquette model. More days in last place...

The Bills will bounce back. They lost because of stupidity and trying to show the NFL that there is nothing wrong with Allen. The whole elbow scare was a smokescreen.

You dont skip taking the points making it a Vikings 3 score game to tie and go for it on 4th down with a QB who has a bad elbow. The worst thing has happened because now the NFL pundits are doubting that Buffalo is THE conference Super Bowl contender.

The potential wildcard round matchup for the Patriots is basically between the Dolphins, Bills, or Chiefs all on their field which is...yeah.
