Poll: How Does the Rest of the Season Play Out?

[goheels22002]

It’s the team not just Bill.

A lot of the reasons for 2-4 are different than last year’s start - right now it’s sloppy football. I expect that will be fixed. But if the Pats run into some bad injury luck then it’s not that crazy to think they’ll get only 2-3 wins the rest of the way. I think they probably at least won’t be favored in any games the rest of the year other than the ones you mentioned but I doubt they all go chalk.

Things look very different when you're enjoying a 50 Burger.

Personally, I prefer a less aged burger

Atlanta, Jacksonville and Miami are the only games that I think they should win. If they pull out wins against Carolina - which they should be able to as they are tanking, or even San Diego or Indy, I would be really impressed.

We'll steal one from Buffalo...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

i switched my vote to 9-11 more wins. Call me a homer, but I think the Pats can beat every opponent remaining except Tennessee and Buffalo on the road.

Somebody getting too big for them britches...

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

I think we have a really good shot at winning against the Chargers next week, but man, that Tennessee game is going to be tough...

Titans will be a huge test.

Running the ball - and containing Henry - are key. We can't just let him run wild on us.

Hey, Chargers first.

I don't like Buffalo, so that increases the urgency to beat the Bills

I have them at 9-10 so we're on the same page.

Update after the Chargers win.... If we win the rest of the games against teams that are .500 or worse at the moment, we would be 10-7. Even with losing to all the teams with winning records. I think that's a fair goal right now, as possibly losing a game of the former means we'd just need to steal one from the latter category. I think 10 -7 would get us in the playoffs almost for sure. Don't think we can afford more than one ' stinker' from the first category though.

Pats have a favorable AFC record right now too compared to other wild card contenders. I think 9-8 might be enough to get in by winning some tiebreakers if they need them

Yeah, 9-8 would have an outside shot too. It's hard to predict, but the AFCW and AFCN (where pretty much all our competition for the wild card is ) ) play each other so alot of these teams will be beating up on each other.

 

[Simpelton]

They have shown a ton of improvement. I am optimistic

Impressed yet?

still have to play Indy and Carolina. How impressed will you be with more than one win against that slate?

Actually I am and really happy. They are playing like the Pats of old. Games like that really showcase how good of a coach BB is.

5-4 the rest of the way to get to my prediction of 9-8. That’s a W vs Panthers, Jags, Dolphins and two of (Bills, Bills, Colts, Falcons, Browns, Titans). Doable.

 

[sb1]

Derrick Henry might be out for the season. Tough break for him but that brightens the outlook of the Pats-Titans game by a lot. Titans don't play any more teams contending with the Pats for a playoff spot.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but if we go 5-4 the rest of the way, I'll be kind of disappointed. With this remaining schedule and the potential loss of Henry, I think 7-2 is not out of the question...now watch they go and lose to Carolina. lol, but I think we get on a roll.

I sort of agree with you, I was hoping for 9-8 before the season but after seeing Mac play above what I thought I think 10 wins and a playoff game and winning one would be a successful first season for Mac.
