Patriots' Home schedule = Home: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions.

 

Away: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings.

 

 

That doesn't look like a very hard schedule, but some very good teams on that schedule.

 

Obviously as a Pats fan the teams that jump right out at me at the Broncos and Colts.  Pats got the Broncos at home and hopefully that will be in December in cold weather, same with the Lions as they're an indoor team.

 

In the NFL it's so hard to predict how a good or bad a team will be next season.  I didn't expect the Chiefs to have the best record in the NFL the first half of the season.  Most those teams above can all be great next season.

I like the Colts schedule better in 2014. NFC East as opposed to NFC West this year, I will take it.

 

AFC West gets the NFC West, good luck!!! :)

 

I think the Colts have a great chance at finishing in the top 2 in the AFC next year.

 

All teams and divisions can be a double edged sword from year to year.

 

With regards to the NFC East I think there are too many power houses in that division to be bad for so long.  We know the Giants are one of those teams that will go 2 to 3 seasons mediocre and then out of no where win the Super Bowl.  Eagles should be good.  Redskins should have improved.  Cowboys can be a 10-6 team next season.

We have a really TOUGH schedule - Patriots, Ravens, SeaHawks, 49ers, in addition to Denver and KC in our division and some sprinkling of others.  

 

Just hope that you get all the good ones in December, which is when you guys play your best ball :). Maybe you can take down the Ravens, Patriots and one of the Seahawks/49ers in December??? At least you get the Patriots and Seahawks at home while the Broncos get them on the road, BIG DIFFERENCE.

I wonder why Denver gets to go to NE 2 years in a row. :scratch:

Doesnt look like a very hard schedule?  That schedule is brutal!

 

The only gimmie games on that entire schedule are the Raiders and Vikings...  

 

Broncos, Bengals, Bears, Chiefs, Chargers, Colts, Packers were all playoff teams this year.  

 

Lions, Dolphins and Jets nearly made the playoffs as the final wild card spot too.  This is probably one of the most difficult schedules in recent memory.

Denver will play all 5 AFC Playoff teams (two of them twice) plus the two NFC finalists plus the 10-6 Cardinals and the Rams, Dolphins and Jets.  Only three games against any team who finished with fewer than 7 wins this season.

      Bold predictions for the draft

      Did you miss Buckner's new extension? The one with the large signing bonus and void years?

      I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Jason_ · Posted

      yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.

      The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.

      I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
