Pats (theoretically) still have a shot at the #1 overall seed

[brdmaverick]

no chance...sorry. Raiders mail it in, they want top 2 draft pick, players checked out. no reason here. KC needs to win. this is about as much of a guarantee there is in the NFL

Yup, he had me intrigued until I saw Raiders over Chiefs.

 

[Deus Irae]

What! Why is this being discussed? We will be lucky to win Sunday.

They are at home against the worst offensive team in the league. They'll win by double digits.

Last Bills game, Brady had no TDs and the Pats were held to FGs for over 3 quarters. New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills - October 29th, 2018 | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Furthermore, this 2018 NE run defense is BBs worst ever and is giving up the most yards since 2000 when BB was hired. Patriots' run defense remains ongoing area of concern

The Patriots won that game, on the road, 25-6. So what's your point?

More reasonable is for PHI to beat HOU to give us the #2, and for KC to be beaten in their first playoff game. We would then have the top seed and play at home.

The chance at the first seed died in Miami. Still, getting the second seed with a team that's severely flawed on both sides of the ball and has a laughable 3-5 road is something.

It does pay to be in a pathetic division I guess.

 

[Redman443]

We’re going to have to gameplan around what we have.

 

[Redman443]

#1 seed is still possible.

Now we just need the chargers and chiefs to lose.

Sounds simple enough but the raiders are a dumpster fire.

To prove that I'm the most wicked smaht anonymous poster on PastFans.com between the hours of 3-4AM.....I predict:
1) NE wins week #16
2) NE rests all its ailing failing aging bodies......aka......TB12 clients........and gets destroyed week #17
3) Resulting in a 10-6 record which so happens to be my preseason prediction....mocked at the time by the fangirl kool-aid swallowers and other kinds of swallowers as well

After their week #17 bye, then the NEP playoff run can begin

Um you are gonna wind up being wrong. I think the pats will get the two seed. 11-5. So according to your dumb logic people who said they would go 12-4 which was pretty much everyone is a genius cause they are gonna be one game off. you said 10-6. You will be one game off. So i am not sure why you are taking some sort of bizarre victory lap for being wrong. That being said if they lose the jets your a genius.

I sometimes suspect some posters would rather being right than see the Patriots do well.

In 2001, Oakland lost their final 3, allowing the Pats to secure the #2 seed to set up that epic finale at old Foxboro Stadium and launch the first title run.

In 2018, Oakland is going to help again secure a seed the Pats have no business owning.

Post Game Thread- Dolphins beat the Pats

I'm the coolest kid I know

Also we all know it's too good to be true so let's not get our hopes up. But lmao if it does

 

[ALP]

if the chiefs lose next game, it could drop them from a #1 seed to a #5 seed...

i expect they put the worthless raiders away, but really i don't think the chiefs survive to the AFCCG at this point so no big deal having the #2 seed

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Look, even though we need to rely on the Raiders winning in KC, I still feel blessed we even have a shot at the #1 seed still.

Unlikely, but awesome we still have hope next week.

There have only been two 11-5 #1 seeds in the current 6-team NFL playoff era (2002 Super Bowl Champion Raiders and the 1992 Steelers)

[I'm] still drinking like the guy in your picture, but drinking and thinking about the chance at 1.

Edit: geeze all the Josh Gordon sympathizers are getting up in arms over this. I was literally drinking when I typed that, so I wasn't saying Pete was drinking like that, I meant I was.
