Door is open for the 1 seed

[vindicare]

Manning and the Broncos have left the door open. Pats Really need to take advantage of that and Have HF throughout

Is this true? What happens if the Pats, Broncos and Chiefs all win out? Who wins the 3 way tiebreaker? (Remember: Head to head gets thrown out in that case)

Not that I expect all 3 teams to win out, of course.

If KC and Denver both win out they will both be 13-3 with Denver winning the divison and KC getting a wild card(Denver beat KC both times this year). Since a wild card team doesnt qualify for one of the top 4 playoff seeds it does not matter how they fare with tie breakers with the Patriots.

The Patriots win the tie breaker against Denver bc of head to head.

Patriots get 1 seed, Denver gets 2 seed, KC gets 5 seed.

Watch out for Cinn....we might not even get a home game if the sneak pass us. We need to worry about getting a bye week, fuck home field for now. Just gotta go out an play the game. Win and your in, its that simple.

That's it! 'nough said......

I really don't think it matters. We had a snowballs chance with Gronk but without him plus all the other injuries I just can't see this team winning a playoff game and I am fairly certain they will not win out.

 

[NEhomer]

We reject your negativity!

...the fact that you're absolutely correct notwithstanding.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Belichick, Brady, Edelman, Boyce, Vareen, Ridley (If he can grip the ball), Blount, and we need Thompkins and Dropson to be healthy...

There is still a faint glimmer of hope.

I honestly can't figure why we don't use Blount more. He is a hammer and is averaging 4.5 yards per carry and can break one off for fifteen or twenty yards at a time. He alone has the ability to slow down the rush on Brady.

 

[Drawmeomg]

Getting to the Super Bowl is actually not unreasonable. There are no other teams in the AFC that aren't at least as flawed as we are, even without Gronk.

Winning the SB... there are a couple NFC teams that we'd have no business beating. That said, anything can happen in 1 game.

So yeah, a glimmer of hope. Not much more than that, but a glimmer.

 

[TKO]

This team goes as far as Brady can carry them and I doubt they make it out of Baltimore with a W....Miami isn't going to be easy either IMO.

Exactly, deal is this team as is, is very beatable.

So is every other team in the AFC Only team that looks unbeatable is in the NFC and seattle has been beat

Well I guess every team is beatable, period. Let's see how this team does the last couple of weeks with no Gronk and Bradys pass at all costs approach to the game.

 

[JDM]

Seattle doesn't scare me. I'd rather face them than NO again. Let Russell Wilson beat us.

There are no real dominant teams in the NFL this year. The closest was Denver for a while and they've been struggling.

 

[TKO]

IMO...the Pats would be outclassed by the athleticism and power of both Seattle and the 49ers in a warm weather city but it's outside in Jersey this year so the weather could be an equalizer. Both of those teams have top shelf O-lines and will be able to get a lot of push up front and they both have the type of pressure defense that will be tough for Brady to face. Bad weather could slow it all down.

Seattle has rushed for over 140 yds per game so they might run more against the Pats. They run the ball approximately four times for every three pass attempts and with Lynch in the backfield that ain't changing IMO.

Which you can gameplan for and force Wilson to beat us. I'll take Brady v Wilson in a passer's duel even with the disparity in defenses.
