How did the Patriots’ competitors fare Sunday, and where does New England stand among the NFL’s elite? Here’s a look at our updated power rankings after Week 14.www.nbcsports.com
This upsets me. We are ranked 13th. Tell me we can win the AFC and contend for a title this year, please. I think we can, i think we can.... We should beat Miami by a touchdown i.m.o.
13 seems ridiculously high given all the question marks/unknowns we have.
Greg Little isn’t an NFL caliber tackle. Uche should eat.
If Mac has similar stats, Pats probably win, probably means their running game was dominant. I think he passes for 200+ yards and 1+ TD pass. I hope the running game is extremely dominant.Brady debut as starter vs Colts: 13/23 168 yards 79 rating
Mac over or under for his debut?
If Mac plays well and stays healthy, sure. But those are huge hurdles for a rookie.Pats by record were the 17th best team in the league last year and arguably they were probably better than that but a couple of Newton brain farts hurt. They've improved (outside of GIlmore "not being healthy" although I think that could be mitigated by the improved front 7) and now seemingly have a QB that can run the offense they want to run.
I believe that Mac's football IQ plus BB and Josh's calls along with the core Pats players will beat anything Miami throws at this team......I don't see them folding under any pressure. Close first half and then Pats adjust at halftime and win comfortably......Too many very good additions to Pats Offense and Defense that they just didn't have last year.....Stay Healthy...
We're the best coached team in the league, how many unknown are you referring to? We have a top O-line, rb , tight end, d-line, special teams etc....we should be a lot better than we were last year....question marks,...Mac, Gilmore, kicker?13 seems ridiculously high given all the question marks/unknowns we have.
We have a ton of FAs that we are expecting to make an impact. That can be fool's gold which we have seen play out time and again when teams try to rebuild fast thru FA. Our TEs are injury prone. Agahlor was underwhelming in the preseason. Hightower did not play last year. Our secondary is highly suspect. Our kicker is a huge question mark. And oh yeah, our Qb is a rookie.We're the best coached team in the league, how many unknown are you referring to?

Unvaccinated Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen got sideways with COVID protocols a month ago. At that time, he said he’d comply with protocols but that the NFL was “not going to strongarm” him into getting vaccinated.
Shaheen can now get down with his non-strongarmed self on his South Florida couch for the next few days since he’s one of two Dolphins placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.
We won 7 games last year with a lot less talent...Hightower has looked great, our tight ends are so much better, our wideouts are better than last year, Mac is better than Cam and we have Folk waiting in the wings in case the rookie has some issues...We have Uche who looks like a stud, Judon who looks amazing...don't forget Damien Harris and R.Stevenson running behind this line, I think we're in for an improvement.We have a ton of FAs that we are expecting to make an impact.

I mean sure, there's always a chance *nothing* they did works out and all of their roster moves are busts and they win 4 games.We have a ton of FAs that we are expecting to make an impact.

The unknowns that I see at the present time:We're the best coached team in the league, how many unknown are you referring to?
