Usually they turn a switch but the switch has not been turned on yet.

Oh noooooooooooo

How does Oakland get in with an equal record to Tennessee when they lost to them?

Not sure. Those are the scenarios posted by ESPN and CBS.

May win next week but will lose first road game. Pathetic loss to the ****ty Dolphins. We just found out what happens when the defense has a bad day.

Gilmore couldn't handle Parker - Parker is a nightmare match-up...huge and very physical.

They never adjusted to that. They left Gilmore on an island against one of the very few receivers he'd need help against. Really bad. Really bad.

I got kicked out of the GDT for saying this but this is the worst I’ve ever seen the pats play since maybe 2005 or 2002. Even in 2009, they only got into the wild card round because they lost on the road to Houston and welker got hurt. The defense has been the strength of this team all year and they folded when it mattered the most. This offseason, we need actual playmakers on offense and personally I don’t think Brady will be back.

Did you get kicked out before the half?

well if we lose next week, then I am all in with the NFC. Mahomes of Jackson will be to much to bear. I would root for the Saints or the Niners or the Vikings !

There would be a 4 way tie. If the colts and raiders win and Steelers and titans lose. This alters the tiebreakers

For those who think this team can win 4 straight, what are you smoking? You must not remember 2009

The Pats were pretty much destined for a clash with KC in the Divisional round regardless of the outcome of today's games.

Um...except that game will be in Arrowhead. Not Gillette. That makes a world of difference. This team could've beat the Chiefs at home. It was 50/50. In KC? No. Sorry. And I'll be called a hater. But so be it.

Road to the SB actually looks just as easy.

TEN or PIT next week is essentially a bye.

KC at Arrowhead, where NE is undefeated in the playoffs.

@BAL was always going to be the AFCCG.

Now they'll put an end to the "they can't win a SB without a bye" narrative.

yes completely relevant.

can’t win 4 straight. They’ve won 20 plus straight before

Tennessee is a big, physical team that doesn’t fear us and has familiarity with a lot of the things we do schematically. Sounds familiar.

Can’t say I’d expect a positive outcome.

Team started out 10-0 and finished having to play on wc weekend lmao

Honestly, TEN ain’t no bye.

They lost Welker the last game of the year. No comparison

I can't say that I disagree with you. I'll still give them a puncher's chance primarily because of Andy Reid!

Umm...they just lost at home to the Dolphins. Those two teams are much better than Miami. I could see Henry going off on this run defense.

They played one game at Arrowhead. It was a pick em game. And they had Gronk, Andrews, Devlin, and a great OL. And it still went to OT.

Fixed.

Gilmore with 3 pick-6s next weekend.
