We're onto Buffalo....

I thought my Jersey was missing (it was in the laundry):

In case you haven't noticed JG is IR'd. Thanks for supporting a plan that would have gotten rid of a SB contending QB for an IR junkie.

Yes because he would've gotten injured if he was on the pats, you know that for sure

I absolutely refuse to completely give up on a Patriots team until the clock hits zero on their last game and they’ve scored fewer pts than the opponent. With TB12 and BB, there’s always a chance! Maybe I am foolishly optimistic, but hey, these guys have done so many seemingly impossible things, they get the benefit of the doubt every time from me. I’ll believe until the season officially ends. Go Pats!!

People thinking the Buffalo game will be a cakewalk (just wait for all the 31-7 scores in the score prediction thread) are not watching the same team I'm seeing the last few games and pretty much every game aside from the Minnesota game, the home Miami game, and parts of the GB and KC game...other than that this team has been remarkably average to utter schitt....when's the last time a Pats team has had so few "good" games...????

I echo your thoughts a million times over; however, they went 3-5 on the road this year, have a historically bad run defense, and can’t get much going offensively, so I can appreciate those who don’t see them getting too far this year.

If they are still able to somehow secure a bye (go Eagles), things change a lot. Ask them to beat 3 premium teams while going on the road and the task looks pretty daunting.

Can’t believe I’m going to be cheering max lane and the eagles next week. But if they can win at la they damn sure better beat Houston at home

He did get injured while he was with the Pats.

Wonder if Krafty Bob is happy with forcing Belichick to trade Jimmy g and keep the corpse of Avocado Ice cream....pretty sure Jimmy could've gone 3-5 on the road and play at home wc weekend....fish rots from head down and right now Brady is rotting...

This board needs a "************..." post reaction.

We can still win this thing, but it’s gonna be A LOT tougher this season. Strangley enough, not because of the competition; but because of US.

The offense is struggling because we can't run anymore for whatever reason. Where has White and Michel been the last few weeks?

In completely unrelated news, Dwayne Allen was out for three weeks (knee injury) and played only three offensive snaps yesterday.

Holding penalties also took away lots of big runs the last 2 weeks, some of which had no bearing on those runs. Allen was a big loss as well but even then we probably should still have toppeed 120 rushing yards each of the last 2 gam s if not for the penalties.

(Fixable) Mental errors seem to be the biggest thing holding us back in most areas were struggling other than run d where i sadly dont see a fix.

Eagles have a great shot to beat them at home. This is why I think NE ends up the 2 seed, unless they choke against the Jetes and Bills, which wouldn’t surprise me.

It's been mostly outside running that's been stifled by poor blocking and penalties. I haven't run numbers, but it seems to me that Trent Brown's penalties have also increased recently. The screen game has also been pretty much stifled.

Id lean more towards us getting the bye than not, even if Houston gets by Philadelphia, jax can be a great spoiler situation. Jax did beat indy a couple weeks back who is red hot.

It won't be worth it but it will almost be worth it. I love the forum but I wouldn't miss the "Brady, coaches, defense, offense special teams sucks" crowd disappearing.
