Who will stop the Patriots?
@TEN
NYJ MIN @MIA @PIT BUF NYJ I think Tennessee has a legit shot as well as Pittsburgh. Too bad they get Minnesota at home. |

I wouldn't completely discount @Miami.
I know they kinda suck, but they play NE weirdly tough. Those divisional games are always a little odd and pull better squads down because of the familiarity and basic rivalry kind of emotions that tend to flow. I reiterate - **** the AFC East, man. That division has been such a POS for so long. The Patriots get HFA and a bye every single year and yes it's in part because they have Brady and Belichick, but it's also because that division has been a tire fire for damn near 20 years now. Brady being good doesn't automatically mean that the rest of the AFC East has to be bad. Can't one of you guys put together an actual quality football team for 5-6 years?

Just a wild guess here, but it won't be the Bills.

Patriots lost at Miami last year and have struggled (relatively struggled) there in the past so that is a possible L.

Yeah, AT Miami has always been a headache for the Patriots. I remember one year when the one loss Patriots (like 12-1? 13-1) met the one WIN Dolphins (1-12? 1-13) and of course the Dolphins won. It was shocking. And, honestly, that might be the biggest challenge. BB owns Tomlin, so the Steelers don't worry me. And for the rest, it's a bunch of "yeah, MAYBE....but I really doubt it." So figure 14-2 or 13-3 at worst unless there's serious injuries or something weird happens.

Patriots W-L record inside and outside the division is basically the same during the Belichick/Brady era.

You're arguing with actual statistics? Are they not right? I mean, wtf?

They won't be stopped until Roger decides he's given his daddy Kraft enough. Vikes should beat them but the refs will make sure they don't. Pitt will probably be allowed a win just to satisfy other owners.

Was talking to a Dolphins fan work buddy today and we both agreed that SO much of their success is due to the dogshit division they play in
Yes, Belichick is excellent Sure, Brady is in consideration for GOAT But when you can almost just throw your helmet onto the field and win your division for a decade +, it steals a whole lotta that thunder... the AFCE has been a freaking JOKE during the Pats dynasty |
