How many times. . . . ?

[Generalissimus Gibby]

How many times will we get the Pats in either the opener or after their bye week? It seems likes its been every year for at least a decade, am I wrong?

[alnilla]

Your wrong

[Night Train]

I still see Sam Adams scoring in that 31-0 opener vs. the Pats 10 years back.

You were what...3 then ?

[Generalissimus Gibby]

2013: Season opener
2012: Week 10 (their bye week was week 9)
2011: No
2010: No
2009: Season Opener
2008: No
2007: After bye week

In 2006 we had them in the opener AND after their bye.

[THRILLHO]

Good, Ill take them in the opener. Who knows if Gronk will be healthy to play? Plus the first real game without Welker?

It's like Kraft is writing out Goodell's paycheck.

[k-oneputt]

Well they didn't forget about us this year either.
We get the Dolphins in Miami after their bye, Saints in New Orleans after their bye, and the Jets in Buffalo after their bye.

And they will have no film on the Bills to watch beforehand.

[Typ0]

week one is the best time to play a strong team if you ask me. This works in our favor. Plus it's at home. We could be a total **** team and this will present us the best opportunity to beat them. This is luck for us I don't know why people are complaining.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Except for the pre-season. This takes nothing away from Marrone, but he is new and is probably going to be very vanilla in his playcalling in year number one just to make sure his team is on the same page and to ensure discipline.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

im not really that nervous about them.

they are good, but not dominant like they used to be. and i think actually having a " realistic qb" in kolb will help... ya know, a qb who can throw it deep, occasional 15 yard out...

plus, we wont run a 4-3 vanilla base every play either...lol


you have to beat the best to be the best.

we have talent, and we will get our qb of the future along with other solid talent. nix has done that

[NOT THE DUDE...]

the guy who could break out is graham. i cant count how many times he was open deep...

his speed and quickness is on par with desean jackson... now we have kolb, so....

[trapezeus]

It's like Kraft is writing out Goodell's paycheck.


you mean like how its actually being done?

[sudzy]

Maybe a blessing. Belichick won't have a lot of film to go from of what Marrone will do on offense. We might catch them off guard and only lose by ten.

[Albany,n.y.]

Natural odds are 33% that we close the season with NE because they want teams to play the last game of the season within their own division.
