May still need to win out for the #1 seed.

[maineman209]

BUT what if we did drop one..?

If the Steelers and JAX win out, and the Pats drop one, they get the #3 seed and no BYE week.

It’s only trolling if you don’t believe what you’re saying... but I can see how pink helmets would accuse me of trolling in other threads. (But I believe everything I say)

Then you admit you are stupid....

 

[Ring 6]

Yeah that’s likely how it will end up.. BUT what if we did drop one..?

Come on bro, take that stick out of your ass.

We won’t and if we were to lose one of these 2 (unless the final game becomes meaningless) it won’t really matter where we are seeded.

Well first of all most of what you say is kinda stupid. Second, its Pink Hats, not Pink Helmets. And if you want to see a pink hat fan look in the mirror. You are the epitome of a pink hat fan. Pretty limited football knowledge, unrealistic expectations and kinda annoying.

It is what it is. It's that, or we both better go do something else

 

[maineman209]

what can I tell you.... after 3 kids, I don't need a 4th one, even if its from the richest supermodel in the world....

Especially given the fact that, with the legal team she can afford, she probably end up having YOU pay child support to HER.

Oh it’s pink hat not pink helmet..? Shoot, I was confused! Use your head, you nerd. Lol Jesus

Just helping you out bro.

My gut is that the Pats are going to be up on the Bills. At that point the Bills may realize the season is over. That is when the cheap stuff is going to take place etc Gronk etc.

Perhaps Britt was brought aboard as an extra defenseman/enforcer?

I think they just needed another WR and a physical one with Hogan banged up. They know he can ball, knew he wanted to be here, looked at him before, and the price was right. I think it was just that simple.

Agree.

But also, at 6'3/225, maybe not such a bad guy to have around if the game deteriorates into a bar fight.

On the flip side, we can clinch everything next week.

1. Patriots win vs Bills
2. Jaguars loss @ 49ers
3. Steelers loss @ Texans

And it's over.

With Jimmy G/homefield the 49ers might have a shot.

And the Steelers on the road, you never know, we'll see if they continue to play down to their competition...

From your lips to God's ears...but I'm pretty sure that the Pats are treating this Sunday's games like the Match Play Golfer who assumes that his opponents are going to make every birdie putt, even the 65 foot, down-hill triple breakers with 30 MPH wind gusts at their backs.

The Pats are thinking nothing but: we have to win the next two games. If they beat the Bills when the Jags & Steelers both lose, then, yeah, it's Party Time.

And, what a great statement that would be by Garoppolo...he gets to help his old team while making damn sure they know what they let go by beating the #1 scoring D in the League, in his fourth start, when the other guys are fighting for a higher Playoff berth.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Or put another way, NE clinches a bye with a NE win against anyone and a JAX loss to anyone. And NE clinches #1 with a NE win against anyone, a PIT loss to anyone, and a JAX loss to anyone.

That's about as crystal clear as it can be stated. Thanks.

I'm just assuming that the Pats have to win out to get HFA and also assuming that PIT and JAX take care of their own business.

But if we want to go a little crazy, it's interesting to note that the Jags have to fly out to the coast to play the 'niners and then finish up on the road against TEN. TEN is fighting to stay in the playoffs and has each of its final two games at Home, against the Rams this week and then the Jags in Week 17. If we assume that Garoppolo's emergence makes the 'niners game a little more demanding than your typical late season game against a 4--10 team and if we assume that TEN will be fighting to stay in the Playoffs by the time JAX plays them on the Road...well, that could make for an interesting couple of weeks.

And, staying in crazy mode here, the loss Sunday evening seems to have really, really, really gotten into the Steelers's heads. Now they have to pull it together, with some possible locker room dissension after Big Ben's whining, to go on the road to play a HOU team that sure as hell didn't expect to be 4--10 at this point in the season and will have more than a little to prove in front of their home fans, with a lot of jobs on the line.

As I said at the top, I'm still assuming that the Pats have to beat both BUF and the Jetes to get HFA. But, it's not completely out of the question that lightening strikes in both SF and HOU and Brian Hoyer gets a lot of playing time in Week 17....

Jags could lose to 49ers. Definitely possible. I don't foresee Steelers not winning by at least 14. Houston has given up.

 

[captain insano]

Pats will win easily vs the bills.

down 10 to 3 really easy

 

[TbSB5]

The Patriots are getting their asses kicked again. Who the hell said Brady is MVP again? He’s been awful for 4 weeks now. It’s either that nagging injury or honestly...he’s 40 freaking years old ppl. This **** happens. QBs get old and lose their skill. Happens to the best.

This is why them trading Garoppolo was horrible.

 

[captain insano]

Yeah, they won on the road in Pitt despite having those injuries and playing pretty poorly overall

Sorry, I don’t see anybody coming into Foxboro and winning a big game, and considering our next two are at home and we’ll win those easy, we’ll be playing our playoff games at home also. Get the plane ready for its trip to Minny in February, because that’s the last flight it’ll have to make.

what a easy game? not.

Not so sure the Steelers don't lose next week.

Emotionally devastating losses often lead to another loss in the subsequent week. It's difficult to refocus and find the energy, especially mentally, after losing the way they did.

Good point. Sort'f like the Super Bowl HangOver.

You are so pathetic. Did I stumble into the GDT??

 

[Off The Grid]

We may well need to win out for the #2 seed. It's just in our control now.

What??
