"The Patriots [are a] contender, not just for playoffs, but deeper than that"

Ahhhhh from Rich's mouth to god's ears! Completely showering praises on all aspects of the team. Soooooooooooo satisfying hahaha

"And then there's that defense...THAT'S a championship defense."

Heady stuff to be sure but he's not lying, right now it is playing at a championship level. Health is going to be the key.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Health has always been the key for Patriots post seasons

 

[amfootball]

I think it it is a little early to call it a champ defense. Let's see how it looks vs Tenn, Bills and the Colts. That will tell us a lot IMO.

As of right now, the Pats have as good a shot as anyone to make it to the Super Bowl in the AFC. Not one team on that side is flawless enough to be guaranteed a clear shot to the Super Bowl. Maybe KC if the last two weeks are the real them and not just a burst of their former selves.

I desperately want KC in the playoffs so all of Mahomes losses can be to the Pats and Brady.

Patriots now have the largest point differential in the league at 123 points. Only Bills and Cardinals are close.

The Buffalo Bills had the highest point differential by a team in 2021, with a 194-point differential.

Pats favored by 5.5 against TN. As little as 2 weeks ago the game's probably a pick 'em

Would the Pats be favored at home against any team in the NFL right now? Sure looks like it.

Health big for sure. Also, consistency, not peaking too soon--SO much season left. Beyond that...I mean, Mac's a rookie. If he was year 2, I'd say pencil this team in, but his being a rookie PROBABLY shows up at some point. But damn is this fun or what?

Stay healthy, play mistake free on offense, continue blocking well and they can beat anyone.

Oh man...Rich Eisen? He literally TRYS to Wax Poetic. I've grown to....dislike his style. We haven't done $#It yet.
No looking beyond Sunday for me.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Eisen and Dan orlavsky have been hyping us up for several weeks, the first national media folks i saw to hop on. They were probably higher on the team than me being the homer i am

I desperately do NOT want the Queefs in the POs because I thoroughly despise Every. Single. ****ing. Thing. about them.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

That's reasonable take. Mac is a good QB, we have a great running attack, our defense is great, and the AFC
doesn't have any juggernauts that we can't gameplan against and beat.

Again. Props to all who said the Pats would turn it around. I didn't think this would happen.

I can nitpick about the timing we've played teams (they were injured), but I won't act like I was still weary about those games regardless.

I feel the same about the ratbirds

So beating them should be extra sweet

 

[PWRxWLF]

He didn’t want a minivan at qb? WTF?! Lol. When’s the last time that Mf’er drove a nice ass mini van? Mini van will take you across the country with your whole family with good solid power and absolute comfort and protection.

Eat crow Rex.

It's a ****ing sin that Wrecks & Saycheese are being paid for their "expert" anal-ysis... If they had plied their trade anywhere other than the Armpit of America (and not been lucky for a grand total of One Game), the two of them would've simply disappeared like farts in the wind...

By the time the playoffs arrive, Mac will have had one season under his belt. Not exactly a rookie anymore, but not with the experience of a second or third year pro. Still, enough for me to be confident in his ability to lead the Pats offense.
