Raiders: too often a hit or miss team.
1) Raiders - fail
2) Bengals - fail
3) Chargers - will make it to the playoffs
The rest are sure bets imho.

Where is the respect for the GOAT?!
Bucs vs. Eagles.
Hurry up before Frogs notice that you have omitted his team!

The refs were godawful. Looks for a 7-10 season for the Pats. (Jets, Falcons, Colts, Jaguars and Dolphins). Dolphins away with Tua, a newly confident Colts, even the Jaguars win now. And the Texans almost got us. So these five wins are not guaranteed. But let say we manage an upset victory...7-10. That's a regress to last year despite all the spending. We got Hightower and Co. back (but traded Gilmore). And Mac Jones is not the problem. I hope Kraft liberates us from Belichick. I doubt the Pats will get to 7 wins. I think right now the Colts, Falcons and maybe the Dolphins would be favored over them. The Pats just aren’t that good on either side of the ball, they put up good fights and they could pull off an upset but they don’t have a lot of talent. Hm...for that the games with the Bucs and Cowboys were too close imho. But ok, the flags and the weather(Bucs) were of great help. But the Falcons have also a great talent to shot themselves in the foot. The Colts...like I said, could go wrong for us if they have found a new confidence. And the Dolphins were beaten by the Jaguars. We are not a trash fire, but we are going nowhere. Even if Jones get better, we will hardly become a playoff contender, save for a Super Bowl contender. And our cap space is burned, what is why we had to cut Gilmore (or later Belichick traded him - some say out of pure spite against Brady). I have no problem with some losing season, with a rebuilt, but I need the confidence that it is leading somewhere, and I have no trust in Belichick. I never like him as human being, but now he has also become inacceptable as coach.

We got Hightower and Co. back (but traded Gilmore). And Mac Jones is not the problem. I hope Kraft liberates us from Belichick. 7-10 won't be enough to get rid of BB. We're stuck with him unless we finish 4-12 or worse. Even then I think Kraft gives him one more year. I don't think the Colts game in Indy is a gimme. And we struggled in Miami with the GOAT, so nothing is guaranteed down there. But the Jags, Jets and Falcons are must wins. Because Brady had no weapons left (=> 2019). Julian was washed up since he was (or better had to be) overused. 2019: first game against Miami was a demonstration because everyone was healthy, in the last game of the season against Miami we were de facto without weapons and lost. And the defense might win championships, but one still needs to score. But like I said: Dolphins with Tua, the Colts with a new confidence...we might lose there, but also land one or two upset victories. 7-10, 8-9 max. My hope is that Kraft and the team will get tired of his character. Belichick got away with a lot because he was successful, and that might change. I this guy is leading us nowhere. He spent all our cap space, got the best and most ready Rookie QB as it seems, and he got all his opt out back. But we even struggle against the hopeless Texans. And we lost Gilmore because we couldn't pay him (=> cap space). Success was keeping a lot together, but Belichicks attitude, his way of taking all fun away, and the lack of success might lead to some exodus, and it will be harder to get good players - even if we could pay them. Playing with no hope of success und under a "no fun"-regime of Belichick. This man is becoming more and more a burden. Brady was the one factor that kept all together.

No call on the Brown's facemask pull on Pats #15 on 3rd and 3 incompletion was huge. Forced to punt. Pokes also got away with like 9 holds before finally getting called for one on that late drive in the 4th. But the refs also took away an obvious TD from the Cowboys in the 1st half, so it all evens out in the end. I don't blame refs for losses, Agholor would've dropped it anyway. 0-4 at home this season. Who besides me saw that coming? Season's far from over though. We can start a new win streak against the Jets next week and take it from there. One game at a time. Jets ok, but they don't count save for the W, but the Chargers, Panthers and Browns...maybe the Panthers (with our Gilmore). 9-8 or 8-9, that was my prediction at the beginning of the season, but now I'm rather expecting a 7-10 or worse. Without the many flags (no matter if bad calls by the refs, or the stupidity or lack of discipline on side of the Cowboys), we had clearly lost inmo. 115 yards in penalties. Look at the stats: 32 first downs (vs. 17). Nearly 600 yards vs. our 300+. They were constantly shooting themselves in the foot and thus keeping us alive. That's how I see it.

I disagree actually about the 2 pt conversion - if they hadn’t gone for 2 and had kicked the PAT to make it 27-21, and then the Pats had scored a TD and won, McCarthy would’ve looked stupid for not going for 2 as the game would’ve been tied at 28 had they succeeded on the conversion. I think going for 2 was the correct call. Yeah, I was gonna sat the same thing. The math dictated going for 2. The Pats made the TD. What likelihood is greater: a successful two point conversion, or a TD? The conversion make only sense, if a TD probability (and thus this scenario) is greater than a conversion which is around 50% And with a TD (as it happened), one would still try to win the game via FG or TD, and in this case a one or two point lead would irrelevant. Cowboys win.

Zuerlein ties it at 29!! But McCarthy really fucked up by calling a timeout, because now the Pats have a bit of time left to try to win it. The decision for the two point conversion was worse imho. What a fucktard. PS: And it is not Brady playing.

Even if they make the FG, the stupid two points conversion will bite them.

Ugh... not even a terrible throw, really. Cowboys are winning. Gross. It's not over. Over two minutes, the two minute warning, one time out...and while I write it: TD Pats. But again: the same applies to the Cowboys. Stupid of them to go for the two...@ Cowboys. Had they collected the single point, a FG would be enough for them to win. McCarthy is useless.

LOL Lawrence was 25/41 for 319 and a TD with no picks today, he played well today, it’s moronic to call him a bust just because his team sucks and he’s off to a slow start, he’s improving and many great QB’s didn’t have great rookie years. This video made me bet on Lawrence in the game against the Dolphins. They need to get rid of Urban. To quote one comment: "Trevor Lawrence shows more maturity than his coach" He is NO bust, but his coach is. Urban is no NFL material - in any regard.

As a Pats fan I'm loving the officiating so far. Dak was clearly in on that sneak on 3rd down. They made them go for it on 4th and Bentley made an incredible heads up play. That could make the difference down the stretch, hope we can keep playing with this kind of focus. Would you say the refs do a good job? Overall.

It was just too obvious. Less than a yard and they screw it. Either they get their acts together, or we will win it, no matter how much possession they have, and have many yards they make. And it will be fucking Belichick who takes the credit.

That's a clear fumble, but they won't change the call. They did.

Cowboys' player gets flipped over by a head-grap the refs do nothing, next play the Pats make a TD, but they throw a flag for holding, then the Pats fumble it...turnover.
The refs are really killing a good game.
