Patriots going 10-6

[redseat]

Let's face it what confidence do you have right now that the Patriots will win either of there next two games? Everyone thought the Patriots would breeze through their last two opponets and look what happened. Probably should have had two losess there.

Now they have the Ravens (I am calling a loss) and the Bills (which everyone is stating they will win) and look what happens when people predict that!

The defense (i don't care they are hurt) is terrible and can't get off the field! The offense sure it has its moments but still is god awful in the red zone!

So I am thinking the Patriots lose there next two and end up 10-6.

What say you?

Play calling has been suspect at best as well. Let's face it the Patriots have to play 100% perfect for 60 minutes or they will lose their next 2.

This team is lucky it is where it is. I asked earlier. Put this team we have now, on the field for game 1. What is their record with this team? Maybe 500? I see them winning 1 more, vs Buff at home. I can also see them losing the last 2, but at home they should be fine.

Why did we not run more? IDC, Ridley needs more touches....

 

[redseat]

The offense does things that work well for a few drives and then go away from it... It's pretty sad

The Ravens game will be tough, but we should beat the Bills.

 

[NEhomer]

Yeah, because the Patriots have lost three in a row so often.

...and for Christ's sake, you cannot run the ball every play. Only teams with monster O lines can run the ball when their opponent knows they're going to run.

I'm not championing braggart levels of confidence but this wining like bitches is getting tired.

They could be 8-8 so 10-6 isn't a stretch.

Not saying to run every play, but a little more wont hurt, esp early in the game. We had 22 rushes to 55 passes vs Mia. I am curious how this breaks down per half's. We were doing good with the run, not great, but getting 4+ yrds a carry vs there def is pretty good. I said to get Ridley more touches, I still think he is their best RB. Maybe they thought they could not run once Solder went out and the short passes were the way to go. I really don't see anyone wining. There is a real concern this team can lose the next 2 games. This is not like teams in the past, we are killed with injuries and it is starting to show. Are defensive back field is on the injury report every week. I just don't think this is the same type of NE team we are use to seeing in the past. They can win every game from here on out, it would not surprise me. We can lose the next 2 and it won't shock me. For all this team has gone through, from the offense not being solid to start the season, and now the defense banged up, they are doing a damn good job of staying competitive. Maybe this loss to Mia is what we needed to get are heads straight, and I think it did. So that is all from me on Mia.....

The thing with the running game is that it becomes effective yet they go away from it. I get it Brady can throw the ball but if the Patriots have a lead and have been decently effective running the ball, why not do it and eat more clock? I wonder if Ridley's recent fumble trouble has gotten into BBs head and he has decided to go with a more "trustworthy" guy in Brady and his arm. Who knows.

Do I think they will lose 3 straight... it certainly is a possibility but they rarely do but this season the way it's been it could be a 3 game L situation here. Don't take the Ravens or Bills lightly people. Look what has happpened so far this year with games that the Patriots should "destroy" teams.

Are you putting the Ravens in the same thread that u think u should come to M&T and destroy us?

That what u think?

Him, No. Others do. Not sure why people think that. I think he means in the past this yr, we were suppose to handle teams easy, and it has not happened. I in no way think we destroy Balt. Going to be a battle as usual, and I am looking forward to another hard fought game that comes down to the end again. Good luck next week!!

BB clearly does not trust Ridley at all. 8 carries last game.

I said this the other day in another thread that the Pats could easily lose out.

I am looking for a playoff environment in Baltimore this weekend. If we win this game we play Cincy for the AFCN division title.

Thats why I like this board good fans that are football smart..Bruschi,NEHomer,Briz(when not completely drinking the Kool-aid) lol, and now another...

I gotta tell ya I like our odds.

They are really only a few plays of better execution away from eing 13-1 right now. Bengals game not included.

I think they can win the next two.

Did you even read what I wrote? Where did I say the Patriots would blow out the Ravens? I don't think they will and I pretty much expect a loss against the Ravens.

Reading comphrension is not your friend.

This was my very first post to this thread... where do I say the Patriots will win? Can't find that anywhere and in fact hello I said the Ravens would beat the Pats.

Thank you!!!! Everyone (including experts) were claiming the Patriots should handle teams with ease and they would be easy wins and I thought no way this could be true and look what happened to the Patriots they played like crap and should have lost at least two of those games (Miami game included).

Brady should call in sick for this one...IMO
