Back in the playoffs!

[Foxypats]

If we have to go to Buffalo so be it, it would be so sweet if we went into orchard park and crushed their dreams of advancing in the playoffs ! That would be the icing on the cake !!!!

So right now, we play Buffalo in Buffalo. Seems like a few scenarios where we can shuffle to 3 different seedings. Put me in the "I want an Oakland matchup." Buffalo we can clearly compete with, but Allen is probably the 2nd most dangerous QB to mahomes in the AFC.

Really interesting week next week!

Chargers win and fins out so next week is only a plus for us for seeding

I’m really happy about this. Impressive job by everyone in the organization, other than N’Keal Harry. I thought Belichick would do a long relatively slow rebuild, and that it could take 3-4 years to become a playoff team again. Instead Belichick realized they were closer to being a playoff team than it looked last year, went and addressed many of their weaknesses in free agency, and followed it up with a great draft, and addressed the QB problem.Now that they are in the playoffs I feel like I can start looking for the playoff win, but either way the fact that they had to fight back from 2-4 made every game important for the rest of the season, and now they get playoff experience. Another strong off-season and they can be a force to deal with in coming seasons.

Seems like just yesterday when I posted after beating the Jets on the last day last season. If you would have told me then that the next season they would draft a QB, win 10 plus games, and clinch a playoff birth I would have been ecstatic.

Man it was a weird feeling ending the season with a win and having it not feel right. Glad we are back in the playoffs, for better or for worse, it has been an amazing season so far and really couldn't be happier with how this team bounced back this season.

If only Harris didn't fumble week 1.

 

[nabwong]

Have they decided which seed is playing which TV slots 2 weeks from now?

Harry has been a disappointment since selected in 1st round. But, he was a gamble and is not paid much.

On the other hand, Jonnu and Nelson are paid pretty well and "supposedly" are above average TE & WR...

They have under-performed.

So, blame is plenty to pass around....

Here is my prediction on the playoffs,

Not yet... and don't forget there will be a Monday night game as well as the two Saturday games

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Yeaaa! Boys looked pretty good today. At least 14 more days to stack. #MessageReceived....for now. Do it when it counts.

 

[BelichicksHoodie]

Good chance Patriots @ Buffalo, 1st round....

Bring it

In that scenario its actually pretty interesting.

Indy and KC is not a lock. If Taylor goes off and few TO's that is a winnable game for Indy. Rematch between LV and Cincy. Cincy is jeckyl and hyde and beat LV pretty solidly earlier in the season. But a game LV can pull off. Of course our game is what it is the rubber match.

But for ****s and grins, imagine the scenario where all the dogs win ( I know). That would have Indy going to Tennessee, mirror images. And LV coming to NE, how fitting a rookie/1st year starter playing against the Raiders in the division round in Foxboro. Could set up some crazy scenarios...just saying.

This season is allready a success but please Patriots...win in Miami...please...

That would be great but it has a 1% chance of happening.

 

[Wax Frog]

there will be a Monday night game

So they couldn't just leave the screw up at eliminating the second bye could they? Had to get a short week into the mix as well!

Is there? Seems unfair. Who’s playing?

 

[mgcolby]

I agree but I wouldn't rule out that 1% given how this year has gone. I actually give the Jets about a 30% chance of upsetting the Bills next week.

Yeah, I’m on a plane on that monday so I’m praying it’s not that. Saturday is my preference.

I cannot find a MNF game, nor even a SNF game. I think the regular season ends Sunday after the 4 PM games.

hmmm no... but there is a reason...

Not quite sure, but I would imagine the thought process about who gets the Monday night game will begin with
" Does this screw the Patriots the most... "

Haha… I understand your thinking but I don’t think there’s a MNF game in week 18.
