2 Seed practically clinched

Crikes, Guys! We haven't even clinched a play off spot yet never mind the division ..and double nevermind top seeding.

But I like our chances.

Super Bowls have a "home" team for the purposes of selecting locker room, jersey and sidelines (and the designated visitors get to call the coin toss). However, within the record books, it is considered a neutral site game for both participants. If we are talking about the Patriots' last road playoff win, SB49 does not count. Similarly, SB 36 and SB38 were not home playoff wins.

interesting. does that apply to the international series games as well?

Pats are at 95.5% to be one of the top two seeds.

Tough games remaining

Seahawks
Ravens
Broncos

and i will throw in @ Miami

So at worst we go 2-2 in those games. We should at worst be 13-3

Also we only have 3 1:00 PM games left, 2 Sunday nighters and 1 Monday nighter and 2 4:25 games. The Broncos vs Pats game will be the national 4:25 game so 4/8 games are prime time or at least nationally televised.

If we go to the Super Bowl this year (knock on wood) we will get to wear the blues if it is Dallas representing the NFC.

Ya smart aleck!!

I believe our last road playoff win was 06

You're right; they've had 2 road playoff games (losses at Denver) in the past ten years. In the last 11 years, they're 2-2 on the road in the playoffs. I'd hardly call these significant statistics.

Looks like the Pats managed to extend their lead in the playoff hunt during the bye-week

 

[Bill Lee]

even if we pull a 4-4 second half like last year we get at least the 2 seed. Mathematically unlikely we lose out to anyone other than the AFC West for seeding purposes.

Somehow reading "mathematically unlikely" just feels different today...

Only the 1 seed matters to me. Keep pilin' on the wins, NE. Super Bowl victory or bust every year Brady has left!
