With Brady's suspension upheld, how many games does NE win?

[Wolvie]

I'm going with 8-8 and missing the playoffs

 

[Money]

They still win division (10-6), but don't get a bye. They beat WC team at home and then lose following week either at Pittsburgh or at Baltimore.

 

[Rock Strongo]

11-5, maybe 12-4

Road wins dont matter they said... Brady can win on the road in the playoffs they said...lol

I look at their roster and I want to say 8....

...but then I look at their history and say 10 because they always find a way to rise to the top of what has always been a pretty bad division.

And let's face it: Even with us knowing Brady misses 4 games, they still have BY FAR the best QB situation in that division. Tannehill is solid but the rest of that team is completely suspect. And the Jet's and Buffallo have two of the worst QB situation in the entire league.

8-8

Starting 1-3 will not be easy and now Pittsburgh will be looking to kick the lungs out of NE at home.

pats went 11-5 without brady for 15.5 games

pats won the SB last year after starting 2-2 and the sky was falling

Probably 11 wins and an early playoff exit.

You don't see a pending drop off in overall performance after the CB turnover from last year?

......they started out 2-2 last year,......as they say = September is still like preseason for many teams/slow starting.

They play Buffalo and Jacksonville in 2 of the first 4 games. They still likely have the better QB in both those games. And the Steelers or Dallas could be trainwrecks defensively to start the season for all we know at this point (not much talent on either of those two defenses).

This is the NFL in 2015. The difference between a bad team and a good team is really, really small. Thinking they are automatically 1-3 without Brady is extremely premature.

Pittsburgh without Bell isn't really that scary of a team in the least.

Pit @Buf @Dallas Jx...


1-3 easy

NE has no corner backs.... They will have to score...alot.

Big Ben is licking his chops and playing Pit with rookie QB?

He is not the second coming of Brady so everyone needs to drop that idea before it gets going..Better odds he is a Sanchez.

no idea what we have yet.

they got to superbowls with guys like sergio brown

 

[Tgann69]

NE=no cornerbacks...No Brady.plus the division is most improved this year..it will be no cakewalk and early potential losses to Pit Buf and Dal could seal a playoff travel schedule...better hope thats not to Baltimore. ;-)

Who is better then Revis?

Thats one drop off right there..the rest are probably not as good.

1-3 easy

Doubtful. I could easily see them go 3-1 over those games. Buffalo and Jacksonville are practically gimmes and the other two could be tight. Realistically, I think 2-2, but I wouldn't be even a little surprised to see them go 3-1 in those games.
