Are The Patriots Back?

[RobertWeathers]

We sucked last year but things are looking up this year.

I think we'll make the playoffs but having a rookie QB is historically a limiting factor.

Really appreciated the battles with you guys in 2018 and 2019.

Who knows what the future holds?

[Red Dawg]

Yes they are back. As long as Bill is game planning and he has the players they will win. Brady rode him to titles just like he did with the Bucs defense. How many QBs won a playoff game after throwing 3 pics. It never happens but he's done it more than once.

Yep. We'll see.

Was any of what I said inaccurate?

Buffalo doesn't look like they are going anywhere anytime soon and if Miami can find a QB they will be tough. NE won't have their six gimme wins every year. Mac is a rookie. Let's see what he looks like next year when the league "figures him out".

Hey man, we should not be pointing out that since 2001 the AFC East has had 10 playoff teams that were not the New England Patriots.

Who cares if the division is weak?

Winning the SB is what matters. You beat the best along the way.

But you also get a huge advantage by essentially being handed 6 easy wins a year. Gives a leg up to the team that constantly benefitted from it (when they weren't deflating footballs or outright spying on people). Much easier to get HFA. Oh and you are agreeing that what I said is accurate.

They won their last 5 games by a margin of 175-51. defense has held teams to 7 points or less in four games so far. So, yeah?

We beat Pitt at Pitt in 01 and 04 and KS at KC in 18.

Home was easy vs Indy twice and Pitt for #2 and #5. They were pussies.

SD in 07 was was easy. We own them.

BAL in '11 was tough. BAL in '12 they beat us up.

HFA was inconsequential.

Pats must be filming practices again or Bill has found yet another way to cheat.

Hopefully, we meet these frauds in the playoffs so we can end their season.

I sure hope so. My life feels so empty without hearing about the Patriot Way every day of my life!

He's the Man in the Arena, you know.

Imagine being a Patriots fan and starting a thread on a Chiefs message board about your team to stroke your ego and attain some level of validation. Just. Imagine.
