Don't Look Now...

I posted this in the post game thread, but it is probably more appropriate for here,

Not sure about the Jets comment, but I like the rest.

From Peter King's Monday column about teams he is bullish on:

2. New England. One coach told me over the weekend he thinks the Patriots are better than the Bills. “Excellent, deep defense,” he said, “and Mac Jones is every bit as good as Joe Burrow.” Interesting. The Pats are a half-game behind Buffalo, but there’s one important standings factor to remember: Buffalo hasn’t played the Jets yet, and New England has finished with the Jets. Jones has been terrific, quickly. Bills-Pats, twice in 21 days in December, should be fun.

Mac Jones is as good as Burrow? Say what?

indy, atlanta, miami, jax should all be wins

i think next week is the bellwether of the rest of the season......win that one, and 10+ is a possibility.....lose that one, and 4-4 finish is looking more probable

If the Patriots literally make 2 more plays they are 7-2 and the #1 seed

The Jets point is a really good one. The only thing though is we still have to play the Bills twice too so the scales could go either way. Allen looks as lost as Mahomes right now. Strange season.

The Pats have the Dolphins once and the Jags once and they are worse than the Jets. And the Jets always play the Bills tough even when they suck. I am still not sure about it being a good point.

We play the Fins in Miami where we always struggle. I think it will be close for sure but I like our chances when we play the Bills head to head.

But that is a wash with the Bills always struggling with the Jets.

The Bills won't lose twice to the Jets. That is why I think our 2 games with them will decide everything unless we do lose to the Fins last game as that will probably cost us the division.

If the playoffs started today, the Pats would be playing the Rat Birds…

I'm not getting too crazy about our chances against the Bills tbh. I think they thump us in Buffalo but we beat them 3 weeks later in Foxboro.

We are better than Steelers and Raiders will probably collapse.

And have tiebreaker with SD

Playoffs? Let’s wake up here…the Patriots can win the division and compete for the conference. They’re fifth in the league in point differential. The AFC doesn’t have an alpha team.

If Steelers win tonight they are 5-3. The entire conference is a log jam.
