Last Place in Division this year?

[redseat]

They certainly aren't beating the Bills

They will find a way to somehow screw up a Miami game and lose

Something fluky will happen in one Jets game and they will lose

So finishing LAST in the division (as of right now) isn't out the the possibility is it?

The Bills are the team to beat. Pats second, Miami third and Jets sucking ass. Why would anyone think otherwise?

No coaching staff we can really truly rely on... Offensive line not good right now... BB not looking like he will open the playbook for Mac... etc

and we all know BB won't draft a WR but he should improve the defense

Why is it certain that they won't beat the Bills?

I know I'm a Pats optimist and wear red white and blue colored glasses but last year was basically year one of a significant rebuild and they made the playoff's. Mac Jones is a year in now and should be significantly better. I actually think the offense will be better without skippy.

The Bills losing Daboll is a big deal IMO and the reports of tension in the locker room could easily manifest onto the field.

The Dolphins will be the Dolphins and the Jets will be the Jests.

Patriots opponents in 2022:

8 Home/9 Away

Bills (2)
Dolphins (2)
Jets (2)
@Packers
@Vikings
Bears
Lions
Bengals
@Browns
@Steelers
Ravens
@Raiders
@Cardinals
Colts

Unless there's significant upgrades at WR and CB, Patriots might be looking at 7-10.

Anything they did against them last year (minus the run game) lead you to believe they could? IF Bill actually releases the reigns on Mac possibly

Have they improved at all? Nope.... Too early for sure but it's not looking as bright as it once was

You guys are killing me with your pessimism. You remind me of Pats fans prior to 2001.


Bills (2) Split 1 win, 1 loss
Dolphins (2) Split 1 win, 1 loss
Jets (2) 2 wins
@Packers win
@Vikings win
Bears win
Lions win
Bengals win
@Browns win
@Steelers win
Ravens loss
@Raiders loss
@Cardinals win

13 and 4

Hope you're right

Hope you're right

I won't be wrong until I am so I'm going with that until I can't.

Super stoked the Pats are playing Vegas. Gonna talk the wife into another motorcycle ride from L.A. to Vegas for that one.

I predict better that last...

Von Miller to Bills ugh

 

[YankeeRebel]

Von Miller to Bills ugh

At this point I think BB has to consider O Line in the draft grab a FA Vet at the X WR and maybe an edge rusher or ILB. BUt no lot last in the AFCE

I hope you prove me dead wrong Sharky, but I'm a realist.

Dolphins and Jets are making solid moves and Bill just can't. Getting rid of Shaq gave him a little, not a lot of spending money. It also weakened an already weak OL. At this point in time, If I was Mac Jones, I'd be telling Bill that if he didn't build a wall for me, I'm not exposing myself to certain death every week. End of Story, Mrs. Corey.

This should have been of consideration a few years ago as well! As @bigmentioned Jets and Dolphins making improvements while the Patriots are making subtraction

I wont say subtractions, BB knows defense so it makes sense he would build that first.

Hopefully he builds it

 

[YankeeRebel]

Hopefully he builds it

He has been, remember we got some young LBs he chose to sit last year Perkins and McGrone, Uche has potential too there is depth at LB which is why I dont see the need as a lot of people do. I would like to see another rush end.

I'll admit I had forgotten about those guys.

Ok. Now focus on OL then Bill and another RB since he probably won't get Mac a WR and who knows if he'll open up the offense to him

 

[YankeeRebel]

Yeah BB calling plays has me worried. I suspect OL WR EDGE will be out targets. WR is a very real possibility if he cannot get a vet FA at the X
