Lol no disagreement there, fair enoughI hear you Joey, this is a different Pat team this year, but let's face it, if we can't beat the Jets at home, we shouldn't even be in the playoffs.
Baltimore
Assuming Pats take care of business this week, and assuming San Diego advances to play KC... who poses greatest threat Baltimore Houson or Indy...
I think playing Baltimore would present same challenge as Denver in AFCCG in '15... I'd like to avoid them so I'll be rooting for Houston I think.
Baltimore.Tommy, do you know if that game is in Cleveland or Baltimore?
If the seeding plays out the way it looks we could not play Indy until the AFCCG at home. As good as the Colts look I could not be happier if somehow we have the Colts in AFCCG rather that at KC, or at Chargers.What scenario would have the #2 seed play the #6 seed?
KC and the Bolts likely will have to face each other in Divisional, unless the Colts also advance in the 6th seed over Houston. Could happen.I think the loser between KC and the Bolts would be the biggest threat if we face them in the Divisional round. Normally I'd eliminate the team with a young QB and a poor defense but Mahomes seems different. The Bolts look like the most balanced team.

Baltimore and pitt would be better off avoiding. Pitt is unpredictable
Along these lines I was going to say that the Pats are the biggest threat to the Pats. Inconsistent play (on both sides of the ball) has been a problem all year and will knock us out vs. any of these opponents if it rears its ugly head. Hopefully they keep the bye and use the week off to get their act together.We have a good team. Not a dominant team. ANY team we face in the playoffs will be a legitimate threat. The fact is that this time around all of the teams we would play are teams that have as good if not better talent. Its just the way it is. Every game will be a crap shoot, and we will have to win 3 in a row to get to the promised land. It's as simple as that.
AFC Championship game, and then we'd be at home, so I think we'd win.What scenario would have the #2 seed play the #6 seed?
This is usually the case.As I’ve stated before, teams with great offenses DO NOT beat NE in playoff games. Teams with great defenses do. You do the math..
Agree. With HOU, shut down Hopkins & try to contain Watson. Ball game.Houston, with a legit #1 WR,
This is usually the case.
I looked at opponents rushing stats, assuming that owning the ground game is the Pats best path to a championship. Baltimore and Houston are #3 and #4, respectively.
Looking at the passing defense, I was surprised to see Houston in the bottom 5.
So, I have to say that Baltimore is the bigger threat defensively. They may be the bigger offensive threat too. With Thomas hurt, Houston is a one man offense, and the Patriots beat one man offenses. The Patriots lose to gimmicky, no name, throw up in your mouth while the #5 running back gashes you offenses.
None of course. 2 can never play 6 in the divisional round (and 1 can never play 3).What scenario would have the #2 seed play the #6 seed?
