    They haven't beat a good team yet, the next 3-4 weeks we'll see what they're made of

    So far the Pat's have been like clockwork. Got the three easy wins out of the way with Amendola, Gronk and Vereen out. Gronk's back this week so the redzone offence wont be an issue any more. With Amendola and Vereen back in the following weeks the Pats will be a 12+ win team again this year.


    The biggest difference this year is that the D has been great and getting better every game.

    When they get done beating another horrible team in Atlanta this Sunday night, the schedule will heat up

    I still say they will win their usual 11-13 games

    Yeah it's an easy sched up until Cin. Getting 4 horrible teams for the first 4 games is a huge stroke of luck.

    They'll get amendola and gronk back in the next 2 weeks. They're still going to win 12 plus they definitely won't miss the playoffs bc of their division.

    Perennial means reoccuring, this year feels alot differwnt than others for obvious reasons. The perennial theorum is not the general consensus for this team thats usually elite not just only good.

    They are playing like i thought they would. Winning b/c they're playing ? teams. Brady going from top-5 all time to not mentioned at all. Wide receivers who would struggle to make most rosters.

    Once the schedule gets tough i'd say they'll go .500 the rest of the way.

    Same ol Pats in a easy division with an easy schedule getting whooped in the play offs. I got the Phins winning the division though and Geno will get his revenge when they go to NY.

    The system works.

    As long as they keep going, they'll be fine. And they'll eventually get back Gronk, Amendola, and Shane Vereen.

    You're a hater and a liar if you think they'll have under 11 wins... I'm no pats fan but we all know their going to eat up that ? division which as an easy 6 games then they have browns and steelers which are garbage teams.

    that doesn't mean anything, Tom Brady could have his whole receiving and backfield corp made up of pratice squad players and the patroits would still end up with 11+ wins!!!

    Manning will forever be known as the goat regular season qb , when Tom gives him that work in the afc championship game
    Neither are going to the AFC game though.
