AFC East Division Race (10/13 - Patriots Now on Top After Bills Loss)

[Real fan 02]

Serious question: is it "too soon" in terms of the rebuild?

I believe because of all the ****ty football we've seen the past few seasons that our Fandom is still cautiously optimistic.. remember the last time we were here in 2021?.. then it all went down hill after that bye week.

Time for the regulars to go scour the Bills’ fan sites ?

They are ready to jump out of windows onto folding card tables.

who gives a good crap who is "leading the division in the middle of god-damned October.

Yeah, I agree in principle Ken, & forgive me, but my first thought as I saw they [Buffy] lost and realized we are in first was
....... **** we have a better chance of making noise in playoffs ON THE ROAD, then at Home.
So, we have to say, be careful what you wish for.

But we still gotta celebrate on the MB; this is a dramatic turnaround in just 6 months of coaching-mgmt.
YEAAAHHHHH!!!!

Ok, that's over with....
Now we just need to figure out how to
A. get Williams - Chism more involved in pass offense
B. continue developing Bryant and another PS-Backup RT (or maybe C) to move into the starting lineup by Game 14.
C. Pickup some LB or S help before the trade deadline (& maybe a diff RB from ?somewhere?).
D. Get Josh to pass on 1st Down sometimes.
then we might actually do something with that Div Lead.

If they get AJ and we don't it's a ****ing travesty.. we have a **** load of cap space more than Buffalo.. I like the way our passing game is playing but we mustn't kid ourselves to thinking we don't need more.

A jr B is a cancer and would poison this team.

The Eagles gave him the money that he wanted 18 months ago and look at all the crap this guy stirs up.

Wondering when was the last time Buffalo was not atop the AFCE standings?

Since Brady left.

 

[1960Pats]

Me.
They haven't led the division in 4 years.

Me too, for the same reason.
And what's wrong with October?

Never heard such a thing..in fact I've heard the exact opposite. Not sure where the "cancer " characterization is coming from.

You have not followed AjrB's social media?

Why is there even talk of him leaving the Eagles? Derrick Henry is who the Pats really need to go deep in the post season, but he is happy as clam in Baltimore.

Vrabel's messaging to the players was to win the division. The buy in is at an all time high right now for the players waking up on an off day to see them in a place they haven't been in years...

What I'm saying is.. in Tennessee never heard this.. when he was traded to Philly the during his first season never heard of this.. furthermore they just won a superbowl with him. If he was such a cancer.. I agree on Henry will Baltimore move him?? AJ is frustrated that the offense isn't flowing and that hurts is overthrowing him..

At this point the Pats have a few things going for them. The two losses are against LV and Pitt and neither will likely be in a tie-breaker with the Pats. LV because they suck and Pitt because they're a lock for the AFCN. We also already have a win over the Bills and a fairly easy remaining schedule

If they can fix the pass defense they could make some noise.

Of course it's not an end unto itself, but it has been a while and feels mighty fine. Sort of like "she isn't pregnant yet but we're working on it."

After five long years of dysfunction and misery i'll take it, its a reminder of the good old days

The Pats offense is 4th in points @ 150 in the AFC right behind KC 155.

The Pats defense has given up the fewest points in the AFCE, @ 120.

NEs defense is tied for 5th fewest points in the AFC with Jacksonville's defense @ 120.

Houston has given up only 61 points through 5 games.

Looking forward schedule wise to date:

The Titans have scored 83 points.
The Browns have scored 82 points.
The Falcons have scored 100 points and given up 100 points.
The Bucs will be a battle. They have scored 165 points and allowed 151 points.

The Jets 0 - 6 have scored 123 points and allowed 170 points. Do they really want to mess up the # 1 pick? That Indiana U QB Mendoza looks like the real deal.

The Giants have scored 123 points and given up 144 points, But I believe that they are going to much tougher than what appears. Jaxson Dart has that Baker Mayfield vibe going.

The Bengals have scored 103 points and allowed 183 points.
BYE

Ted Johnson was mentioning on the radio about how taxing consecutive road games can be on the body...

The lethargy that sets in, traveling, ect. That was apparent against the saints as our defensive line is one of the highest pressure rates in the league... we conquering many positives while still a rebuilding team.

No style points Sunday we just need a win and get back to Foxborough as injury free as possible to embark on this next stretch.

The Jets no matter what thier record is always play us tough, especially at NY.

The Falcons just beat the bills they aren't a pushover and that game will be interesting.. if we dropped some games down the stretch here I'd rather it be to NFC opponents because the AFC conference record is what's most important for potential playoff seeding/strength of schedule.

This team is a excellent road team and that is a huge trait in a contender.

This is the NFL that stands for Not -For-Long.

Keon Coleman was a first round draft pick... seems like a bust to me...

I wanted nothing to do N'Keal Harry pt.II that year. IF the Bills go after Chris Olave we should offer a little more: don't let them get any key help.
