[captain stone]

What's the O/U on the # of punts the Pats D forces? I'll put $5,000 on the O.

Don’t turn around.

If they lose this one they should be ashamed of themselves. They were overconfident against the Colts and Bills. They got behind and couldn't recover in the time that was left. That was because they played only 45 minutes of a 60 minute game.
Run up the score against the Jags for confidence so they feel good about themselves when they play Miami.

Go Pats

I think NE wins handily. If disaster strikes & they lose to Jax with the season on the line, they aren’t worthy of playoff football.

Expecting them to be at a very respectable 10-6 at this time tomorrow.

And we clinch playoffs.

You promised to not talk about me in such insensitive ways. You are such a liar.

I'll bet the defense comes out looking much better tomorrow.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

I expect a total beat down in all 3 phases. With all of the sudden media attention on Jonnu Smith recently, I could see them using this to get him out in space with some designed plays for him.

Other than that 2nd half will likely be the Defense / Damien Harris/Stevenson show. After Mac puts on a show the first half which gets them ahead by 2 + scores at the half.

Final 34- 10

Not much of a bet there. Can't possibly look worse than last week. What is your point? Looks better than @Kontradiction after a week of ......? ;-) That is an easy bet that I will take at any odds. A worse bet you ask? @Joker after a week of JETE fans called Green Cow Namath.

I think they were embarrassed last week and will have something to prove.

They need to get back to playing like their hair’s on fire and be more physical than the opponents.

I agree. Or maybe the QB and the WRs and TEs are all in their 1st year and we have to be patient?

I agree but that's the offense, the D has to carry them to win a playoff game.

Just found out my Sat TV provider is showing Chiefs and Bengals game today and not the Pats.....Arrgh

I mean.....They are playing the jags so that's probably a safe bet to make.

Clock is ticking on the QBs rookie contract. That’s the hardest part of trying to build a team nowadays.

I'm not giving up on this year until the clock hits zero in their last game, but given no rookie QB has ever made it to a Super Bowl, the clock (for all reasonable expectations) doesn't really start ticking until next year.

TBH, that's like complaining they're showing Chelsea-Liverpool instead of Everton-Brighton.

 

[JMC00]

They were overconfident against the Colts and Bills.

Neither of those games were about overconfidence.

ST shows up and does their basic jobs against the dolts and that would probably have been a win.

bildos game just some unfortunate miscues that added on to the defense and offense having sub optimal performances
-Harry drop at midfield, next play was that INT that came from the ball bouncing up and floating in the air, inch or 2 over and that ball hits the ground instead of bouncing up
-the whole Jones hit oob and Brown getting a penalty ****show that changed field poistion. Went from Pats at the bildos 35 yard line to them being at their 35 yard line.
-4th & 7 penatly. Should have been 4th & 12, not 4th & 2 if the refs called it right with the C false starting by moving his head and not snapping.
-JC Jackson's dropped pick.

Yes that's all if if if but all those things you think maybe on a different day those go in their favor and it's a different game
