i dont care what anyone says i can see the patriots go 3-3 or 2-4 over that 6 games.


this division is winnable

[Historian]

4-2....maybe better.

[djjimkelly]

4-2....maybe better.

broncos and packers will be losses im 90% sure :) which doesnt mean much lol . the lions should hopefully be healthy on offense by the time they play and @ colts and @ chargers will be very very tough games.

i truly see 3-3

[Ingtar33]

and we have a brutal last 4 games of the season. we basically have to win the next 4 to be in competition with the pats at the end of the season for the division. because we'll only win 1 of the last 3

I like the brutsl schedule if you come through it your set up well for yhe playoffs. Worst thing in the world is to barely make it as a sixth seed go on the road and get crushed

[BuffaloRedleg]

At this point I'm not worried about the Patriots anymore. They are in the zone and are once again the toast of the league.

i am sure this fan base would take a 30-0 6th seed loss have u forgotten its been 15 years since post season

[trapezeus]

there is no way the pats don't win. the fanbase is too weak to endure those kind of losses that most teams could expect on such a schedule.

for now, it's all about the bills taking care of their business. we should just assume the pats are in the lead of the division until the last game of the season and if have put ourselves in a position to win and be relevant, it will be a glorious accomplishment.

but we know the NFL knows that the pats in the playoffs pays a lot better than having them sit out. so brush up on your league rules and find out which ones are allowed to be bent for good old 6th round brady and the cheating head coach.

One thing is for sure, I'll be rooting against the Patriots every week.

That Broncos/Patriots game is going to be one to watch next week. Denver is the better team, me thinks. They are currently 3.5 favorites AT New England.

Not caring "what anyone says" is your mistake.

Underestimating Brady and the Pats is not very smart.

The likelihood of the Pats going 4-2 or 5-1 over that stretch is much more likely than 3-3 or 2-4.

Take your fantasy hat off.

The Bills have less than a 5% chance of taking the division....8-8 will not do it, and that is the very best this team will do.

I'm betting on the Bills going 7-9.

[Forward_Lateral]

I'm not sold on the Colts, especially after what Pittsburgh did to them yesterday.

I can see them winning all of those games, to be honest.

[justasportsfan]

I would prefer that the teams the Pats are facing the next few weeks would have D's that would beat up on Brady and their offense to soften them up.

Only the Lions have a D that could do so.

[DynaPaul]

In other news, Walt Coleman has been named the referee for the remaining Patriots games.

BUF definitely got the parity bone tossed their way so far. Makes sense - gin up the fan base and hook an extra cart onto the bandwagon, sell tix, get viewership.

Then take away the cotton candy in the latter part of the season. The NFL is a marketing genius.

OK, I will bet you 100,000 zonebux the Bills finish better than 7-9.

i will do the same worst case i think is 9-7 but i can only bet 15K but ill do real money gladly :)

Serious stuff.

Somebody is liable to go zone-broke.

...or otherwise compromise their children's zone-college fund.

[Historian]

I simply love all these inane threads about how far the Patriots have fallen....

Well, the Pats* didn't do too well going on the road last year.

I expect them to win the division then lose in the playoffs, just like last year.

What are "Zonebux"?

[notacon]

How about $15,000 in "real" money? Are you that confident??

BTW...after watching the Pats destroy Denver last night (the "best team in the NFL before then), it seems like my prediction about the Pats is much more likely to be underestimated.

The Pats have a very good chance of going 6-0 over this "brutal next few weeks".

How about betting $15,000 in "real" money that the Pats take the division and the Bills miss the playoffs once again??
