What will the Patriots record be this season?

[Meathead]

The Patriots have won 3 of the last 4 SuperBowls to qualify as a dynasty.

But they've also endured a lot of upheaval over the offseason.

Will they continue their dominance and win another division, conference, and/or SuperBowl title? Or will parity finally catch up to them?

And please, no wagering.

:lol: How did I know?

[Meathead]

I guess I shoulda included a 16-0 category.

[Dozerdog]

I think they might start slow- 3-3 OR 4-4- but theu will settle down and rip off an 8-2 or 9-1 record down the stretch

[Meathead]

Yeah, they have a brutal start to the season and will be battling to find their groove after all the offseason defections.

I've predicted their demise far too many times to do that again. But still, parity has to catch up to them soon.

0-16

The biggest question will be: WILL BB TRY TO DO IT ALL???

I don't think he will, he still has a talented set of positional coaches and coaches he has developed over time. BB has a system, it's just him deciding to run the offense himself could proove to be too much. ONE advantage he has using this approach, is Brady. If Brady calls his own plays, just as Jimbo did in our SB years, THAT CAN DESTROY A DEFENSE and throw up soooo much diversity in their playcalling, the D has no recourse. I just remember how successful Kelly was.

Maybe this is BB's new twist to the game. He seems to have something new every year.

[Mr. Cynical]

I sincerely hope they don't make the playoffs for the next 10 years. Sure, it's not likely to happen, but I still wish it with every fiber of my being. 3 SBs in 4 years is enough for any team for a very, very long time. They've had their time in the sun, time for another team and their fans to enjoy the taste.

I guess I shoulda included a 16-0 category.

Yeah, I was a little miffed about that.

11-5

[Philisophical Troll]

This years Patriots squad could be the most athletic and talented yet......and that's not a good thing for the Bills, let alone the rest of the NFL. I definitely think the Patriots have a legitimate chance to be the first team to 19-0 but it would take a tremndous effort this year minus bruschi/crommel/weis. I just don't see any flaws on this team and as long as Brady and Bellechek are together expect big things.

Prediction: 13-3 AFC Champion....I'll reserve my opinion on whether or not they win 3 world titles in a row until I see what Big D and an improved NFC has to offer.

0-16

I was thinking the same thing:lmao:

[Drive 4 Five]

Here is my guess:

1st Quarter of 2005 Season 3-1
Wins against the Raiders, Steelers & Panthers
Lose to the Chargers

2nd Quarter 3-1
Wins against the Falcons, Colts & Bills
Lose to the Broncos

3rd Quarter 3-1
Wins against Chiefs, Saints, & Chiefs
Lose to the Dolphins

4th Quarter 2-2
Wins against the Bucs & Dolphins
Lose to Bills & Jets

Patriots 2005 regular season record: 11-5

[BiLLSRuLE]

I say around 12 wins...

and a lossin the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!! :bf1:

[bledslow]

12-4 with the 4 possible losses to-panthers, steelers, chiefs(especially if they get law),and possibly the jets. i cant see that p_h_u_c_k knuckle jake plummer beating the pats in any lifetime.
