Poll: 8 and 2 at Bye?

[The Brandon Five]

Chicago? They have beat Arizona, TB & Seattle combined 5-11?

I don't see Chicago having much of a chance. With that said I think they drop one of the next 4. GB seems the most likely but its at home. Tennessee on the road, but their offense is hot garbage. So honestly I may be talking myself into recasting my vote for 8-2.

Chicago just lost to a Miami team that we beat by 31 points.

And two more prime time games....Ray Lewis did something
8-2

The Jets crushed the Lions who crushed the Pats therefore the Jets will crush the Pats by your logic

I can definitely see 8-2 happening but the defense has to show some improvement after the KC debacle. Anything worse than 7-3 is a significant let down.

 

[Kdo5]

The Chiefs should lose a couple more games. Lambs and another along the way

Fortunately KC got hot at the outset. I don't imagine that they will remain this way throughout the season. They are going to slow down eventually. Probably not dramatically but they will.

Lose to GB and go into the bye at 7-3 with road wins over both Chicago and Tennessee. That’s my guess.

They are a helluva team. I figure 12-4. Same with us

 

[mosslost]

we need 11-5 or 12-4 for TWO seed..... Probably at least 13-3 for ONE seed

Poll: 8 and 2 at Bye?

It always bothers me when people speculate this way. I cringe at the annual undefeated talk, or the perspective that we will be in the Super Bowl. The team tries to win every game, the goal is the Super Bowl but with injuries, weather, officiating and the random nature of a game it's a crapshoot.

4-6 at the BYE....

Jets crushed Lions week 1. Neither team looks the same at this point. Same for the Pats and the Dolphins. I think the Pats right now look more like the team that beat Miami than the team that got embarrassed by Detroit.

 

[PatsDeb]

I think our defense is exactly the sort Rodgers will carve up.

Depending on how we get there, even 6-4 at the bye is fine by me because we'll win 5-6 out of the remaining games cause that's what we do.

Maybe, but their defense is as bad as ours and KC's right now, so another shoot out at home seems to favor us.

 

[Joey007]

One thing that needs to be pointed out: we’re not out of the woods with KC yet by any means.

We have a rather tough sched from weeks 7-15. Plus we’re still a game behind them. We’ll likely have to get at least to 12-4 for that top seed.

Granted if KC falls off a cliff like they did last year, it’s hard to see any other team in the AFC topping 11 wins.

 

[Joey007]

Maybe, but their defense is as bad as ours and KC's right now, so another shoot out at home seems to favor us.

There’s is as bad as KC’s right now. And offensively, they’re tough but they don’t have a RB that’s as dynamic as Hunt. So that’s one thing that’s very favorable.

Gilmore vs. Adams will be pretty interesting.

I chose ok 7 and 3 because its a duplicate answer and its the only time ive seen a poll option listed after ‘other’
