PATRIOTS NEWS 2026 Pats schedule leaks

sb1 said:

I predicted 7 wins last season, I suppose underestimating both our team and how bad some of our opponents were. Definitely did not expect Maye to have an MVP caliber season. Last season's run was all house money as far as I'm concerned. The playoff and Super Bowl experience they got can't possibly be coached only experienced and they're so much better for it even if the Super Bowl wasn't meant to be.

Based on where they're at in this rebuild and the state of the roster now I think with good health 10 wins and a playoff spot is very doable so I'll go with that as my prediction. Also very possible that's good enough for the division as the Bills schedule is hard too.

Our window isn't wide open yet like some other teams but it's slowly starting to open.

Why would you expect a 14 win team with an mvp caliber qb that has improved its roster to more than double its losses?

At least the Pats have extra rest before the Chiefs game

Bills on a Sunday at 4 and then having to play the Vikes 4 days later on TNF blows chunks

you’re joking, right?

They play weeks 1 and 8. Now both QBs should be back by week 8 but we’ll 1 is up in the air.

I've never heard of a team having to play 2 Thursday night games in a season, it's not right. The first one is at Chicago, which is a tough opponent and away, maybe causing us to lose a game we'd otherwise win. And the extra rest for the next game isn't valuable cause it's vs the Phins.

With the Vikings, the circumstances are a little better. We're home for both the Sunday & Thursday games. The Vikings are fairly average, though we'll have to be careful of a letdown after a huge Buffalo game. The extra rest after the Vikes game will be valuable for a big game at KC.

Having two Thursday games sucks, though the one vs the Vikes gives us extra rest going into KC for a huge MNF match.

I've got KC penciled in as one of the more likely wins on the schedule. They're not dramatically better, got older, and were a 6 win team last year.

Did Kermit tell You he won't be playing or will Chris Jones announce his retirement before gametime?? Inquiring minds want to know.

Amazon probably wanted something better than JETE/Pats TNF with all the cash they are paying.

TommyD4207 said:

I don't care if he plays or not. He's been awful for 2 years. I'd rather face Mahomes than your boy right now. Chris Jones is 32, and took obvious snaps off during games last year. Kelce will be 37 by the time that game rolls around.

At some point, people have to stop living in 2022. The Chiefs suck now. The Bills are on the decline. The Ravens are circling the drain to irrelevancy.

Can I hold you to your prediction??

TommyD4207 said:

Whether you do or don't won't stop you and the past-livers from ****ting their pants every time the Chiefs are mentioned, like we haven't all watched the same games last year. Mahomes was cooked before the injury. He had a great run, but his time as an escape artist is over, and he has to transition to being a pure pocket QB. I don't think he can make that transition well enough to make the Chiefs good.
