MDC 5,805 Posted October 11, 2019 Possible but I see 5-6 games on that remaining schedule that they could lose. Law of averages says they have a bad week at least once during that stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drobeski 3,061 Posted October 11, 2019 Probably, when you have the greatest qb and coach in the history of the game along with a really really really great, maybe legendary defense, it gives you a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 11, 2019 Umm, no. Defense is solid. Lots of playmakers and they are built to stop a Chiefs team. Offense is struggling. Lack of playmakers at WR who can get separation. The line is a mess. Left tackle is really bad and the hope that Wynn comes back from IR and contributes is not based in reality. What has the kid done so far to warrant that hope. TE is a mess as well. If they could coax Gronk into coming back (< 5%), then they might be in better shape. Probably a trade coming for a WR, but I still think that line is the problem as, if you can get to Brady with just 4 rushers, you can beat them. This part of the schedule is full of cupcakes. It gets tougher on the back half with 5 legit games (@ Ravens, @ Eagles, Cowboys, @ Texans, Chiefs). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reality 2,701 Posted October 11, 2019 They'll lose a few, that offense isn't great. They'll be the 1 seed though, I think the AFC is down this year. I'm not convinced the NFC is great either though. Bottom line, Pats could win it all this year. I don't think they are a great team but, I'm not sure there is a better team out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Giants hung with them for 3 quarters with a 3rd string RB replacing Barkley, who’s a top 5 offensive player in the league. They were also without heir second best offensive player Evan Engram They also had a rookie QB who completed half his passes and threw 3 picks.

The faced one quarterback all year who can even say he's above average. Roethlisberger. The rest that they've faced: Josh Rosen Luke Falk (may get to face this future HoF candidate again next week) Josh Allen Matt Barkley Colt McCoy Daniel Jones I actually think the defense may be underachieving with that cast of misfits across the ball.

tubby_mcgee 683 Posted October 11, 2019 This is the NFL....to think you can look at a schedule, and just simply go down it, and be like... w l w w l etc... is dumb. Will the Patriots be favored in every game? Most likely. Will the win every game? Not likely. If picking games was simply "Well their db's can't ...or their run defense can't... you'd see many many "experts" going 16-0 or 14-0 each week in their picks...and they don't.

That's all they've faced so far and all they will face for the first 8 or 9 weeks of this season. But one of those creampuffs even gave them trouble yesterday. Once they start playing some of the better teams they won't looks so great anymore. Unfortunately for the rest of the NFL, the Patriots schedule is almost all creampuffs this year.

The Observer 641 Posted October 12, 2019 They've made a collection of rookie and backup quarterbacks look like rookies and backups. And they better figure out that offensive line. Brady is still accurate with his arm and sharp with his mind at 42, but he still an old man and he's one hit away from being done. Seems like he's taking more hits this year than I can remember in a long time. He can't absorb the same hits that a 25 year old QB can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
