POLL Can the Patriots Repeat...Again?

[eaglesnut]

Most likely the Eagles beat them...Again.

The backups got a ton of work in the preseason. The starters only played in the third game and not all played together. The defense under Mayo is even more of an attack defense than under Flores. 20 sacks in 4 preseason games by the backups. And some were aginst other teams first team offense.

Brady played a quarter and a half and looked like he did in last year's Superbowl with backups as his WRs. Edelman, Gordon and Thimasplayed last night with Stidman and looked damned good and will be even better with TB12 running the show.

Patriots will be 13-3, 14-2, 15-1 or 16-0.

There are only two teams that I see as problems. The Chiefs, who might just be vengeful enough to pull off an upset and the Saints who got got screwed out of a Super Bowl shot last year. The rest are wet paper tigers.

i love mayo as D coordinator. VERY aggressive, like the player he was. he just walked in off the street and ran with the job.

That's what THC does, good thing late 60's acid days are over

Smirk.

That's what fucking ads and shit refreshing all over the screen does.

I still have to see which defence played last night against NY. Cause a lot of points were put up.

The Chiefs, who may get additional help from the stripes this year...

Why would Mahomes ride on the shoulders of the inferior quarterback?

 

[The Q]

depends if the NFL forces them in again, the past 2 AFCCGs they forced 14 points swings with laughably incorrect decisions that the NFL didn't make a peep about.

Goodell and his cronies are scum.

I’m playing the odds and saying no

 

[PatsFan2003]

Last team to do it was Americas favorite team, the new england juggernauts. 2003-2004.

Can they do it again?

Key loss - Gronk. Huge, no 2 ways about it.

Key additions - gordon, demarious thomas, bennet on D, and a good draft all around.

The defense is vastly improved, to the point i think they may be a top 5 defense.

People are always optimistic before the season starts.

I'm saying NO not because the Patriots don't look pretty good but more on how hard it is to repeat.

I really like the defenses Flores called last year. If we can do that again we really could have a pretty decent D.

To answer your question honestly................Mahomes hasn't done jack shit. You're speaking from your "wishin' and hopin'.." left side of your brain.

Talk to me in 2037 if I'm still alive and Mahomes is still playing.

 

[Pattersonca65]

If anyone can repeat, it is the Patriots and they will make a run at it but the odds don't favor it.

Still better than Brady. That is all. Brady and the Patriots are more than free to flail if they disagree.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

The odds say not likely but anything is possible. I have to say no but I honestly can't tell you who beats them. Too many variables out there to predict.

Will Mahomes inherit the it's-the-O-line's-fault teflon that Andrew Luck enjoyed?

Mahomes is considerably better than Luck, so no.
