Chandler#81 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Ridiculous thread. At least 6 new starters on offense and 5 on defense. Dont Do Drugs. 1

NYJ are tearing it down. Miami? Yeah no idea... It's more than confidence. This team will shock the nation. Cool story bro

WR Corps is a huge unknown. I love the OP’s optimism but I dont see us winning more than 7. You know me I always say 19-0 when the prediction threads start and watch every game thinking we have a chance because I'm full of Kool Aid, but I think 7 is a tall order.

Iron Maiden Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Does this qualify as the yearly " Pats are done " thread ?....I believe it is the 10th edition...It started in 2008 when Brady got hurt for the year...........Before then, they won 3 SBs, and 6 division Championships....Since '08, the won 2 SBs and 9 division crowns..... At this point, who knows...Odds are if Brady plays, they'll win it again....He just won MVP last year, so I don't see where the optimism about him " showing his age " comes from...He is still playing at a elite level... 1

Plays that others without his combination of size and athleticism simply can’t make? Yes, QBs are going to take advantage of his inexperience, but he’s going to show them a thing or two of his own. People forget he has a former pro bowl father and two brothers in the NFL, one of which combined with tre set an nfl record. First pair of siblings ever in the 1st Rd. I'm thinking he's ahead of the curve.
billsfan89 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 This team is a year away from winning the division. The dead cap money and trade-ups for Allen and Edumonds compromised the ability to put resources into certain areas of the roster (O-Line and WR in particular.) That's not to say that those weren't good long-term moves but rather that the team competing in 2018 on that level (winning the division) isn't likely because of those factors.

My fervent wish is that it happens because they finally are just plain bad, not because marsha and bellyboy retire or injuries mount up. Just plain suckitude. I want them all on board the cheatriot train when it runs off the rails. Oh, yeah, one day. My guess is it'll be when Brady retires or is injured. Won't be that long, is my guess. But outside of a serious Brady injury, this is highly unlikely to be the year.

What's the point of that, anyway? Is it simply to begrudge someone their optimism in the absence of any of your own; to insist that others must wallow in pessimism because you choose to? It's no skin off your back one way or the other, so why? Fair enough .... ... as long as nobody with a positive outlook will pee on my Wheaties with their positive opinions. You folks will keep totally silent when anyone say something realistic, won't you? No? Well, then expect disagreement from the realists. This is a discussion board.

How about the 01 Patriots who started 0-2 and lost their $ 100 million dollarman? One thing those two teams had in common ... their new young quarterbacks were both in their SECOND years, not their rookies seasons. That's pretty huge. Edited July 9, 2018 by Thurman#1

reddogblitz Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Some things will have to go our way. We'll have to take advantage like we did last year. Not out of the realm of possibility.
transplantbillsfan Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 As much as others are probably tearing you apart--I haven't read a single post--yeah, I could see this being the year. Sounds like there's trouble brewing in Paradise and the Bills are on the upswing, making the playoffs last year. I actually expect double digit wins and playoffs from the Bills this year. We'll see what happens with turmoil in New England, but this might be the year. 1
