And then the Patriots went on to become World Champions ... again. Are you making the argument that regardless of what happens in the regular season, no matter how bad a loss, the playoffs are a completely different situation? If you are, well done. You fooled at least one person! I'm interested in hearing what the chant will be this year for the Chowds - - I'm sure you'll have it for us soon. The Patriots beat two teams with winning records this year: the Bills and . . . the Bills. Are you making the argument that regardless of what happened in the playoffs the year before, it will happen the next year? Didn't they beat the Eagles? |

I cant see Pats getting past Chiefs or Ravens. Agreed. Especially with no bye week for the 42-year-old Shady One.

You fooled at least one person! Are you making the argument that regardless of what happened in the playoffs the year before, it will happen the next year? That would be contrary to my previous comment ... so, no. The Patriots are in a difficult situation, no doubt ... like being down 25 points in the 4th quarter ... or a hopeless goal line stand with just seconds remaining ... or holding the most prolific offense of the season to just 3 points with a mediocre defense. Does that mean the Patriots will persevere once again, against all odds? Of course not. Eventually the odds win. It is inevitable. The best we can hope for is to hold off that inevitability for another year. Predicting another trip to the SB because the Patriots have done it four out of the last five years is silly. As is counting them out when things look dire. Wouldn't you agree?

Should have had another choice --- 3 and done --- since they are not getting a bye.
They might lose to Tennessee. They'll probably lose to the Chiefs. They will never beat the Ravens.
I voted 2 and done. Could be 1 and done.

I thought after last year's Super Bowl that that was like the '79 Super Bowl for the Steelers (coincidentally both against the Rams). They won, but they looked vulnerable. Then the Pats were so dominant in the first half of the season that that seemed ludicrous. And 12-4 is way better than the Steelers in 1980. But 4-4 in the second half, Brady being about 10 points lower in passer rating from last year, the defense becoming mortal in the second half of the year . . . you guys aren't dead until the stake is in the heart, but I'm not betting on you. That being said, I thought the Chiefs were going to take you out last year . . .

For the last umpteen years, Buffalo has bent over and spread them for Brady and Co.

That being said, I thought the Chiefs were going to take you out last year . . . The defense was never that good. They feasted on Colt McCoy, Luke Falk and a bunch of winless (or near winless) teams. When they played real competition they got lit up. They looked like shit against Cleveland other than those fluke TOs (one where his own player kicked the ball out of Chubb's hands, Mayfield tossing the ball right into Guy's hands while looking him in the face). Cleveland outplayed the Patriots in the second half of that game, outscoring them 13-10 after the first qtr. They forced Future hall of famer Andy Dalton into a bunch of picks a few weeks ago and people on this board were still calling them a great defense, as if the Baltimore, Houston and KC games never happened. It's an unbelievable fluke of scheduling that this team finished with a better record than last year's team, and by my estimation is a much worse team. Like you said, they aren't dead until the head comes off, but 'the greatest coach of all time' better have some answers for a team with a winning record next week, because he sure as hell had none for a 4-11 team with nothing to play for.

You should go full on DC-Fan and start spamming the boards every time it looks like the Patriots might fail to reach the Super Bowl. The only question is, will your name for him be "Bill Beli-DICK" or "Silly Billy"?

Everyone (yourself included) keeps pointing out how terribly the Pats played down the stretch. It's weird that the team couldn't win once the offense bogged down. It's almost as if the Patriots are more dependent on the offense than the defense to win games.
