LJpalmbeacher2 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 ....2 Teams. Patriots & Steelers. Neither team looks like their uber talented but they are 2 franchises that know how to win and the rest of the conference is taking turns staggering. Buffalo losing its luster and its division stranglehold.... The historically unsuccessful teams in Ohio can't be counted on.... The Titans lost the most Dominant player in the league and I'm sure not expecting the chargers or raiders to go to the super bowl. And andy reid & Mahomes seem way off this year. And the Brand of the Pat's and Steelers are certainly appealing to the networks, advertisers, and the league. Hope I'm wrong of course as I despise both franchises. If I were to root for a non colt team it would be the Ravens, but after watching the dolphins beat them up I'm not too high on them either.

teganslaw Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I wouldn't mind seeing the Patriots back in the Super Bowl. They are a different team now, and it would be kind of cool to see Mac Jones take them there. If the Ravens get into the playoffs, I don't trust them to go very far.

But we shall see what happens I don't see the Steelers maintaining this. And the pats still have a few hard games left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Colt Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I don't want to see KC or NE in the SB. Tired of hearing Mahomes walks on water while he submarining this year. If not Indy then I'm pulling for Buffalo because I watched them go to four straight SB's only to lose all of them and I really liked Jim Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indykmj Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If they ever get totally healthy and can tread water well enough until then, I expect the Browns to be a big factor down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortheWin Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The Titans look like the best team IMO. I also think KC may round into form unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Titans, Bills, Chiefs, Patriots will probably be the last 4 standing, mainly because their defenses are coming along well with everyone having enough flaws in their offense, IMO. Ravens will still win the AFC North while the Steelers, Raiders and Chargers will fade. Ravens got a taste of their own medicine with the blitz, see here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Because the Colts still play pats and raiders and these divisions are going to beat up on each other they really can control their own destiny.

holeymoley99 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Raiders and Browns in free fall, Pitt looked really bad as well in tie vs Detroit and barely beating the Bears. Bengals ? Plain ugly. Chargers need to right their ship having lost 3 of 4 but have Pitt so should win this week. I expect Buff,Balt,Tenn and KC but Chargers could catch KC and already beat them, Buff could be passed by Pats. 7 AFC playoff teams....Buff,NE,Balt,Tenn,Indy,KC and Chargers.

The question for Bill's fans is which wild card seed will they fall to unless they completely fall out of the playoffs. I think they lose to the colts which will give them 4 losses. They could lose all 3 against Pat's twice and brady....that's potentially 7 losses and a 10-7 record which I think will be good enough for a spot. Another loss somewhere could give them a 9-8 record which I think is doubtful for a spot. This coming game vs the colts is a huge game for them with the Patriots twice and bucs still left on schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats just don’t score that many points. I don’t count blowing out bad teams. Zak Keefer said colts will know next week when far pats game will be played.

Their history is there for the last 2 decades minus last year. Does their talent level seem below other teams?......yeah Does their offense look pedestrian?.....yeah But their team often lacking hasn't usually kept them from succeeding in the past and they still have Kraft, McDaniels and most of all Belichek. On GMF, which I usually don't watch much(too many props, lol) I caught them saying that not only they may be back but may Dominant the AFC for the next decade.

I could change my mind after they play colts and bills. It’s just a gut feeling right now. Pats do look a lot like when Brady was a rookie. I just need to see if they can hang with good offensive teams before I say they are definitely good. Also before we say Max looks like Brady I need to see growth next couple of years. Eventually Brady could make big plays. Just still out whether Jones can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best offensive team they played at home was when the Cowboys were healthy and rolling, and they took them to OT despite Mac Jones throwing a pick six in regulation. Lost 29-35. Mac Jones is very good on short and intermediate routes, we need to force them to throw beyond 20 yards consistently where his numbers are lower, that is how we stay in the game and on our end, don't turn the ball over as an offense like the Titans game at home when the game is close. That is what the Patriots thrive on, good field position due to turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the majority of every roster is turned over every 4 to 5 years that is really a stretch. Yes - they might have found their QB, but just too many more variables to ever say a team may dominate for the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their lack of talent may have forced the Football Gods abandon them this year lol. We'll see if they can turn it around but not looking good for them and Big Ben. But the Pat's are looking like the Pat's of old.....dinking and dunking, it's like brady never left. It will be hard for any AFC team to get by them.

King Colt Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 NE is winning by an average of 35 points while giving up 10 per game. Put a team up against them and man for man does not count because of the head coaches. We could be looking at an unknown number of years of another Patriot domination of the AFC.

Mac Jones is only going to get better, and he has a defense that can allow him to make mistakes and not feel too much of the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
