you really think the pats won't win the afc east?

really?

no. the Bills will!!! woowoot!!!

haha, just kidding. though i am a Bills fan i'm not that optimistic or stupid.

the way i see it:

Pats
Bills (maybe, just maybe a wildcar...but even then they will lose in the first round)
Jets
Fins

So many people are split on the Favre/Jets. some think they will challenge for the division or at worst second place. some think it's the same old Jets. i think Favre was a fool for doing this. one of the reasons the Jets sucked so bad last year, besides no real QB, was the fact that whoever was playing QB from week to week had no time to throw the ball...most of the time they were on their back. yes, Faneca helps a bit but i just don't see things changing much.

Favre might retire during the season as much as he's going to get hit.

anyway, this is a Pats thread. i hope you break your foot Brady

why you guys don't say "we"?

huh....

that sucks, sorry to hear that

Simply because I don't own or play for ANY of the Beantown teams I root for. Until I do I'll never say that.

you have to be concerned with Brady's foot - I don't care what they are saying, the fact that he has had a foot problem back to the Super Bowl can't be good.

oh and have the Pats ever won when they couldn't cheat? (ha ha cheating bastards)

This reminds me of 2002 ...

After the 2001 superbowl, the Pats went into 2002 with confidence ... but the defense was old and failing ... I think it was an early season game against the Chiefs where they were lit up for nearly 40 points (granted, I think they won) and I knew trouble was brewing ...

Big loses on the D, especially in the secondary ... I hope they aren't getting torched all season long.

But I am certianly excited for the new season, and still ahve confidence they'll make it back to the playoffs (unlike 2002).

They're a better team then they were in 2002. That first Super Bowl team was a statistical anomaly. They scored 3 offensive TD's in playoff games and won the Super Bowl. That was in the mist of Billy B. blowing up the team to get some cap room. The teams that won SB's 38 and 39 were the best teams in the league in those years.

If I was a Pats fan, I would feel confident that they will be back in the final four teams.

Thye will contend for 8 wins if Favre stays healthy.
Barring a catastrophic injury to Brady, the Pats have the AFC east sewn up by Thanksgiving.

No teams right stand out more than any other which bodes well for the Patriots getting to the final four teams in the playoffs.

I hope Tom Brady breaks his weiner and is promptly dumped by that fleet-footed Gazelle.

there are too many good teams in the AFC for this to be a fact.

San Diego, Jacksonville, Indy .... indeed, they all have warts, but so do the Pats.

Just trying to keep it real. Man, I hope you are all right .... I hope Brady is ok ... I'd love another 14-2, superbowl win year ...

Don't the Patriots play the 49ers this year?

Are you saying, get rid of Brady? It was a beautiful story last year, but the ending SUCKED!!!

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis? Hemingway couldn't have scripted a better end to last season.

If Brady is hurt, the Pats are at best an 8-8 team.

another point to the suppposed "easiest schedule" in the league ...

The Pats make *4* west coast trips ... that's not easy.

San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Oakland.

I was shut out of tickets to ALL of them online (fucking brokers) .... should be able to scoop up 49ers tickets @ face with little problem

The Seahawks game, I really wnated to go to.

No fucking way I'd go to that dump in Oakland. (edit, not at a scalpers rate at least)

not sure if that would happen but in this day and age money talks, and if he starts seeing the team is on a decline and not spending the money or rebuilding thru the draft (WHICH btw is gonna hurt ya for finishing so great all these yrs) you never know...he might pull another Favre move..retire rest and come back.
I forgot about the Jags too..theyre not to be slept on either!
