Pretty weak. Is he aware that their moves are what gave him a chance when every other team bailed on him? Settle down week 10 Win Guy.

RedSoxFan28 · 11-12-2018, 08:38 PM

Apparently Brady's arm is done

One bad game and it's the cliff

blackbears86 · 11-12-2018, 09:54 PM

The one thing that's really been bothering me is Hogan. Why has he basically disappeared from the offense? Is he hurt?

I think he might be getting the Dorsett treatment this year. He might be getting open when he's out there but he is too far down on Brady's reads to get consistent targets.

Bowman1951 · 11-13-2018, 03:27 PM

So looking over the remaining schedule...

They have three basically guaranteed wins over the Jets twice and Bills, that puts them at 10-3. Even if they lose the other three games, that's probably good enough for a playoff spot. The Dolphins are 5-5 and two games back at this point. They would have to go 5-1 the remaining part of the season just to get to a tie-breaker. They do have somewhat of a cupcake schedule (both Bills and Jets a bunch, same as the Pats) so that is doable. If they don't beat the Pats then they would have to beat both Jax and Minn. along with everyone else. While the AFC East isn't locked up just yet, in another 2-3 weeks it could be as Dec. 9th probably seals that when they take on the Dolphins. A win and the AFC East is theirs once again.

When was the last time the Pats had no first round bye in the playoffs? It's a longshot at this point with KC and the Steelers ahead of them by record and also being tied with Houston for losses. You can kiss home field advantage throughout the playoffs goodbye, they may have to win in Arrowhead to reach the SB. They are probably playing wild card weekend unless the Steelers can't close it out. The Steelers likely have at least one more guaranteed loss in there with the Chargers and Saints on the schedule but the rest are easily winnable. Who wins the tie-breaker if both the Steelers and Pats finish with the same record? Hell if I know.

I don't see the Texans running the table to earn the bye week with the Eagles, Jags and Titans on the schedule. They are most likely the the AFC South champs and join the Pats on wild card weekend. I don't want to see either the Chargers OR the Titans again that weekend but those are the front runners at this point with the Chargers almost a lock. I guess you can't count out the Bengals and Dolphins mathematically but who really sees them in the playoffs?

God, it scares me the Pats could be one and done in the playoffs this year if they don't get things turned around on defense or have some more piss poor offensive games ahead of them. They've beat Mahomes and Rodgers this year and can't beat Bortles and Mariota? This team isn't Superbowl caliber mid November, I hope that changes come mid-January.

jasonm2121 · 11-13-2018, 04:06 PM

If they are not mostly healthy, it does not matter what their playoff seeding is. That simple.

Bowman1951 · 11-24-2018, 09:43 PM

Got into my first Immaculate case break that went off yesterday. We had a snake draft once all 36 cards were opened and I ended up with this at spot #8.

Pretty happy with it although obviously would prefer to have him in a Pats uni.

Hope to see the offense move the ball well today and put up some points now that they have everyone back

We’ll see...Brady historically struggles in New Joisy.

Do the Pats lead the world in Eagle / Fouts games?

Good Lord...sick of these two.

Burkhead is back, for now

Hope he can maintain some health. Would be great to have an extra back for the rest of the season. He always seemed to have good runs but was never used a lot, or would get hurt.

boston12 · 12-02-2018, 09:20 PM

Great win today. Not perfect but definitely a feel good win.

jasonm2121 · 12-02-2018, 10:35 PM

I enjoyed it.

Bowman1951 · 12-03-2018, 01:54 PM

Jesus, the Texans have a fairly good shot at winning out the rest of the way.....which means the Pats need to do the same to stay in that 2nd spot for a first round bye. The Jags and Jets won't be playing for anything but hopefully the Colts and/or Eagles give them some hell as they play for their playoff lives.

Where in the hell did the Ravens just come from? I think they need to stick with Jackson the rest of the way out. And I STILL don't want to see the Chargers in the first round iiiffff the Pats don't secure that bye.

I'm excited for them to be playing for yet another AFC East championship in the bright Miami sunshine this weekend. One step at a time, they can't control what the Texans do.

UMaine Black Bears advance to the Semi finals in FCS with the win over Weber State! Yes i know they'd get mauled in the FBS but hey that's all we've got up here. Top 4 is pretty good!
