Mostly that many on here are saying we would beat the Pats without question.   

I don’t see anyone saying that. It is a interesting though. There offensive line is banged up and it’s very clear they miss gronk. The main I agree with is the colts have a nastiness to them that could help them against that team. They aren’t going to be scared of them. The colts right now are playing in a way that travels well also.

Out of six wins their opponents have only five wins and 4 of them are from the bills. The bills played great against them so I think they are beatable. Their offense does not look great. That’s schedule is really pathetic. Next week they play the jets lol. It really is unfair how bad that schedule is.

How do you set up a tough schedule for a team in the AFC East that never has to play the patriots?

I get it. It just seems even their non division games this year so far have been way to easy. But like noted above they do have some tough games that will test them the second half of the season. The browns have a pretty good defense so that one might be interesting. The jets getting Darnold back this week should make the jets better also.

[Imgrandojji]

Sam Darnold is not very good.

Everyone talking about how the Patriots haven't played anyone yet, please answer this. Who is the best team in the NFL right now?

I refuse to answer that question because the answer does not fit my narrative.

The Pats?

 

And they can't play themselves?

 

Is this a trick question Supe?  You wascally wabbit.  

 

It’s way simpler, actually. I don’t think their schedule matters, they’re the best team in the NFL and it’s pretty obvious. Are there really any other candidates at this point?

The schedule does matter because there is no way to know how good  they are. They just had a stretch of teams with 5 wins and four of those were the bills. They aren’t even playing mediocre teams. They are playing trash teams. They only scored 9 points against the redskins until middle of the third quarter.

Fed up with the fawning over the 2019 Pats. The eye test says they are not the best team. About ten teams would be 6 zip vs their opponents right now. 

 

Brady is finally looking his age. Unfortunately BB can still work his evil magic.

I can make a argument the colts would be 6-0 against that schedule.

We would be IMO. 5-1 at worse.

Yeah the bills game would be a ?. Their defense is so good. Their offense just needs to improve. Depends where the game was played.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe Pittsburgh because they had Ben. Pitt played at foxboro though so that game would've been at Indy and Pitt looks bad.

Fawning = acknowledging that the Patriots are a really good team. Got it.

Don't be too hard on them.  We're all on a bit of a victory rush right now, and it's a lot easier to imagine us beating superior competition when we've just done it.

 

There's no real need to  bring these guys down unless we absolutely have to.  After all we've come through what might be the toughest part of our schedule with a winning record.  That takes doing.  Plenty of reasons for fans to be confident right now.

I see your point.

 

The Chiefs were probably everyones' pick for the team with the best chance to dethrone the Pats, but with the way the Colts just embarrassed KC in Arrowhead, it's hard to think of a team that the Pats couldn't beat right now.  Ugh, I don't like the turn this thread has taken.  

 

Can we go back to talking about the Colts-Chiefs game?  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

After the pats have that hard stretch then we can discuss how good they really are. What I have seen from their offense I think they can be beat by a lot of teams. Get pressure on Brady with that bad oline and run the ball and you have a chance. There is probably 4 or 5 teams in the AFC I could see beating them on any given Sunday.

Good team. Perhaps a really good team. Not sure they are great. Yet.

[jskinnz]

Here is my take away from this thread. 

 

My how times have changed from 7 days ago post Raiders loss. 

 

Regarding the Pats - I’ve seen this movie before. Lose a game or two early in the year, get better and then come January look out. Except this time they have not lost. And is anyone really going to bet against Brady not figuring it out?

 

I believe the Colts are a good team. Assuming health they have a formula to win games but the season is long and I prefer hot teams at the end of the year. Who knows who will be playing well in 6-8 weeks. 

 

So for me, I am looking forward to the Houston game in a week. Past that, not worrying about too much of anything else.

I have no problem with people talking about whether the Colts can beat the Pats. I'm a firm believer in "any given Sunday," within reason. 

 

I jumped in because I think people are being dismissive of how good the Pats really are. I assume that's a rationalization of some kind.

It probably is.  That, and no one wants to give up before the fight even starts.  That said the last team I'd trash talk is the Patriots.  They can and WILL prove you wrong lol

BB would stack the box and force Brissett to beat them throwing the football. 

 

 

Which is what you are going to see more and more teams start to do until Jacoby can make them pay for it.

The 49ers duh (note that is heavy sarcasm, in all seriousness I’d agree it’s the Pats as much as I hate them.)

Top team in the NFC with GB and NO close behind. That being said, there’s like 6 teams in the NFC that you can make the argument are the best.

I think the 49rs are tops in the NFC.   They are solid at every position.  

They have 5 1st round picks on the D-line in Bosa, Ford, DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, and Solomon Thomas.

I've never been impressed with Armstead, and Thomas has been a disappointment so far. But put all those guys together and that DL is nasty.

I feel like the Saints will be the best team when Brees gets back. But the NFC west has 3 good teams that are hard to beat. Rams should get back on track with wins the next 3 weeks.

If Ballard brings Sanu to the team I'll be prepared to say we can hang with anyone except for maybe the patriots

I've always been impressed with Sanu too IGjji. The guy just knows how to consistently get open & he's always had very good hands. I'd be thrilled if our GM landed him. When you're good in Cincy, you'll succeed anywhere man.

 

He'd look pretty sweet with a on his helmet too. 

 

Will it ever happen? Who knows, but it's a nice dream anyway.

Class is the one thing the pats do not have.

Besides, they deserve it & just like Carnegie Hall--Practice makes perfect right? LOL!

As a former telemarketer, let me just say that the times the customer decides to mess with us can be the highlight of a very dull day of work.  we can't show it on the phone or we get in trouble, but a break from the monotony of script reading and canned answers can be very enjoyable.

 

A good customer trolling can be break room fodder for days.

 

Anywho, glad I left.  Rather than being bored to tears and depressed at work, I can now be bored to tears, depressed, broke and unemployed instead.

 

Ain't life great?

The funy thing is that the 2 teams making the most obvious attempts to do that were the Falcons and the Raiders -- Jacoby's 2 best throwing games.
