Did Gronkowksi really only have 2 catches for 15 yards the whole game ?

Great defensive game plan to take Gronk out, won't work a second time, especially with Jewels back and a little more time for the other guys to learn their rolls

Butt now's the time for haters to rejoice :)

patriots do not have enough good players anymore. brady aged overnight. weak running attack and no quality receivers. defensive backs slow to cover. special teams cannot handle punt returners. 10-6 would be a miracle. they had a good run but it's over. didn't draft well the last few years. it has caught up to them. jacksonville much better team with younger and faster players. this won't revert. miami will finish ahead of NE this year. patriots will be fighting to be wild card road team.

I doubt it. Same story every year with Bellicheck. He will simply win again. And coaches like the coach of Cleveland will find a way to lose no matter how bright things "may look".

Jacksonville is just one hell of a team. They are almost guaranteed to make the playoffs.

patriots looking at a 9-7 season. they lose 2 of next 4 home games. vs mia, ind, k.c. and gb. drop the min. home game later. lose at ten. lose at pit and mia late in the season for the 7 losses. even in the unlikely event they go 10-6 will get knocked out in the wild card game or jacksonville will get them in division round.

Only adds fuel to the fire for number 20 from the Jags....I really wanted to see Gronk run him over a couple times.....didn’t happen

Pats minimum 10-6 record.

They've got the Jets and Bills in the same division. And how good will Miami be? My God, they might be in the worst division in all of the NFL.

Look for four more Bills players to retire next week... this time at the end of the 1st quarter!

Pats had a take away on that fumble. Made the game a bit close. Other then that,the Jaguars dominated that game from start to finish.

sure they beat buffalo and the jets but no more cupcakes beyond them. will 10-6 give you 1 home game or road wildcard game is the issue here.

One never knows in the NFL, but my time of fading and disbelieving in Bellicheck.... that ended a long, long time ago.

If you remove Brady and say he's gone from the team, then I might agree with you.


All I can say is 10-6 and better. But I agree that if they face Jags on the road in the playoffs -- they are cooked.

Something seems different about this PATS team this year....

I'm probably wrong and they'll be playing in the AFC Championship but something seems off to me

AFC is so weak though.

They can lose these games.

Packers
Vikings
Steelers
Chiefs
Dolphins

Laying less then a TD to the shitty Lions is sketchy.

Line should be 10.

Lions +6.5

if they lose the detroit game they are most assuredly cooked. brady 41 with an aging nagging wife trying to get him to quit. no wideouts, no running game, bad special team play and slow defensive backs. trouble not looming but already here.

No Edelman , he still has 2 games left on his suspension

no more amendola as well. So with Gronk being the only real threat, it's easier to shut him down and let the replacements
try to beat you. Not much of a running game doesn't help much

Plus the Pats O-line ain't the greatest, and not giving the G.O.A.T enough time to find those open guys

but in the end belichick will make adjustments, and the Pats will win a string of games and be back in it.

the days of winning those 7 or 8 in a row in the middle of the schedule are over. they don't have the horses to do that anymore.

I think the key stat was only 4 targets. I can’t believe that was the plan so obviously great defense to prevent him from getting open.
