Do you wish our schedule was tougher?

The pats might face the bucs with them missing two starting OL, evans & godwin. 13-4 and the #1 seed is possible with this schedule. Having the superbowl window start 1 year early is a good thing.

Year one in a rebuild, new systems, and a crucial development year for Maye. I am happy the schedule is easy. It is the best situation for both the team and Maye to grow. I don't know if Maye would be where he is right now if he was constantly under pressure like he was last year. It is good that he has gotten time to get his confidence, mechanics, and processing in order before he faced a tough team.

This is a growing year and not a year where the Pats will likely compete for a Super Bowl. I seriously do not mind that the Patriots have a cake schedule.

We Dodged a bullet with Godwin there: he would be riding the pine. Gald Diggs was in our backup plans.

Nah. Gimme a win over an easy team over a loss to a great team any day.

We have already overachieved anything can happen now. We could end up in the AFC-CGame vs the Chiefs.

Not sure about that theory. Everybody that is in the NFL has played college football, and been very good at it for some time …then they got a JOB being very good at what they do..so the idea that other teams suck .. well that’s plain nonsense. Everybody in that league is 110% A -type bad ass mo-fo that most regular people wouldn’t mess with. There are no easy wins. There are no ****ty players, some are elite .. but they all good. We got something special brewing in New England …

 

[vicspats]

Does it make a difference? They're not going to win the Superbowl with this roster.

Just enjoy the ride because 4 weeks ago I thought they could easily rip out at 6 or 7 wins.

They kinda won with less … or maybe equal to before … kinda ?

I expect the schedule will turn out a little harder than it might appear right now. In addition to the games against Buffalo and Tampa Bay there are four additional games against teams that will likely be significantly better in the second half of the season than they have been up to now.

Atlanta is going to be a tough game for us. Penix is still inconsistent but when he's on, that team is extremely dangerous.

Baltimore is currently 1-5 but they've got a cupcake schedule remaining and If LJ get healthy, they still have a realistic shot to finish with 9 or 10 wins.

Joe Flacco completely changes the Bengals. That game was looking like a cakewalk after Burrows went down but old man Flacco might be the best version of Flacco. If protected and surrounded by the skill position guys they have over there, I can see Cincy getting back in the playoff race.

The Giants are also a dangerous team with JD at the helm. That was a crushing loss at Denver but this Giants team has the ingredients to be dangerous. They had the best draft in the NFL. Their pass rush has the potential to be the best in the league and Skattebo is the type of running back every fan wishes their team drafted. Don't be surprised to see them stockpile wins during the second half of the season.

Old man Flacco also has Chase and Higgins. People were laughing about the Flacco trade, but I was saying it's the best weapons he has ever thrown to and he can still lob it if needed. It was a solid move and probably should've been done earlier considering the difficult stretch they had as soon as Burrow went down.

Their light schedule for the next few weeks could make for a very interesting game when we face them. Burrow might be coming back if they have promise heading into that week. That'd be a real fight.

 

[Vindicate]

The fact that this team could be getting playoff experience this early is both huge and awesome.

Bold of you to assume the Chiefs will make it there.

 

[Real fan 02]

no

Agreed. Totally fine with the schedule we have. Barring and major injuries on offense or defense this team has positioned themselves well and can call themselves contenders.. I don't care what NFL team you are. To win 3 straight road games those are characteristics of a well coached, disciplined team that's motivated. We were none of wich past 3 seasons..

I can say the same.. I would have thought at best we'd be like 3-3, or somewhere in the ball park. This is house money we are playing with. It's gonna come down to survival of the fittest.. whatever teams healthiest down the stretch... we need to keep our young elite qb upright.. we aren't winning anything with Jacoby Dobbs..

Bet on it a TommyD.

It's said Atlanta don't play well outside Domes Facts. Baltimore is Done! Lamar will be golfing before our game. Cinci got a chance but how long can Father Time Flacco hold up?? I really liked J Dart he would have been the First overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft: that said they have already shown the NFL world how to lose 101. How do you give up 33 points in the Four Quarter?? A healthy Maye is going to feast. Knock on wood we have been somewhat healthy; we just need to keep key players healthy and we know who they are.

That game right there twin.. is the game That probably will get dabol fired.. 33 points in one quarter... insane.. you probably have better chance hitting mass cash then that ever happen again..

Arizona and the Giants have lost some strange games this year...teaching he NFL world: how to lose 101. You could say the same for Baltimore Ravens Game 1 vs Buffalo gave up 22 in the Fourth.

There really aren’t “easy schedules” in the NFL. You have to come ready to play every week or you risk losing no matter the opponent. Of course there are always 2-3 bottom feeders in the NFL that should be wins (Jets, Carolina etc.,), but they’re still professionals and normally aren’t pushovers.

The NFL isn’t the NCAA where you know teams like Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama are going to absolutely obliterate the SW Missouri A&Ms of the world 72-7 by just showing up.

This is a growing year and not a year where the Pats will likely compete for a Super Bowl. I seriously do not mind that the Patriots have a cake schedule.

I see some are still doubling down that the Pats can't compete this year. What team could you point to in the AFC and say the Pats couldn't beat? Buffalo was supposed to be that team which was impossible to beat, but the Pats beat them at their house.

KC will always be a threat with Mahomes and their experience and that's about it. Indy is in the same boat as NE as the jury is still out how long they can sustain this. Pittsburgh is going to start slipping at any moment. The rest of the AFC is garbage.

It's 2021 all over again. The differences are that they beat Buffalo without the weather and and have a way easier schedule. We'll see how they do when Buffalo shows up for a rematch.

Don't be shocked if they are competing for the #1 seed again.

Exactly that's how I see it too; a lot of these Teams are banged up. IF we can keep key guys healthy we will be in it. Some are counting the Chiefs and Mahomes out of that fellowship of the miserables AFC West. Denver already won two games they shouldn't their luck will soon run out. Justin Herbert is approaching Trevor Lawrence territory the Big engines that couldn't.
