All I want for Xmas is for the Bills to get their first ever win in Gillette.

 

I get it, there's some things even Santa can't deliver.

Congrats on the win today, but I wouldn't push your luck! :)

 

Anything's possible...maybe Santa will hear the plight of Bills fans and think they've suffered enough.

No.1 seed goes down to the last two games..

..next week NE (11-3) at Jets (3-10)

Denver (11-3) at Cincy (9-4-1)

...advantage Patriots

I think the Pats realize what they lost last year when the Fins beat them late. I expect them to go full throttle vs the Jets and Bills. Both will be tough games.

Yes. I think they got a stiff talking to at halftime and came out a different team. They need to carry that second half performance into these next two games.

Bledsoe was in NE yesterday to celebrate the division champ with the Pats. I don't know Kraft did it but he had maybe the biggest QB controversy on his hands all those years ago and traded his franchise QB in Bledsoe away to a division rival and yet here is Bledsoe with him celebrating a win with the QB who replaced him. lol.

Actually AM all three have remained close. By all accounts Bledsoe is a great guy and if you remember was a class act throughout the replacement and trade. It just goes to show what a great organization the Patriots are as well.

I know. That is what I was commenting on. I am not sure if there has ever been an uglier split in terms of the circumstances, a franchise QB replaced by a sixth round pick and then traded to a division rival. I do credit the Pats org as well as Bledsoe and Brady. It is a rarity in sports to see such a difficult situation handled with such class all the way around. It was nice seeing Drew there yesterday. I will always love him for what he did for his team.

My prediction is if the Pats don't win the super bowl this year the Pats trade Brady for multiple picks and the Jimmy G era begins.

Next two weeks are crucial. No letting up.

 

Ryan is going to want to play spoiler, and on top of that it's a big middle finger to Woody Johnson if he wins a couple of games here and hurts the Jets' draft position next year (since he's certainly gone). 

 

Buffalo is coming off a couple of very solid performances against Peyton and Rodgers. They're not going to roll over either, even if they're out of contention. 

 

Pats need to keep their foot on the gas.

I see them handling the Jets pretty easy but am worried about cheap shots and injuries from them. Buffalo plays them solid but the Patriots win going into a well deserved bye.

You do realize that plenty of guys have played out their careers with New England, right? For every Ty Law, there's a Kevin Faulk, a Troy Brown, or a Tedy Bruschi. The guys who were traded or let go were guys who were looking for money or who wouldn't rework their contracts to stay. 

 

I still can't tell if you're actually a Patriots fan or not. Part of me still doubts it strongly.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      Yeah, Ebukam almost looks clumsy next to Latu. He's just so fluid.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Chucklez · Posted

      Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...

      What about Leonard at safety?

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so….

      Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.
