but like someone above said, they can only play the teams on their schedule. I guess it's the benefit/reward of having a great regular season record and getting the top seed/home field advantage.
But I'd be very concerned as a Jax coach at how easily Pittsburgh moved the ball today
Minnesota defense looked like dogshit once their DT and safety left the game. If they don't get back next weekend I think philly wins. Keenum was awful today - even the miracle last play was an inaccurate horrible throw
The need to win no more than one easy home game and one other to get to the SB every year. And it will be that way until Brady retires. Weak division plus crappy AFC equals a SB chance every year.
jags can have one of those historic Defenses. I think Pats repeat and go 3 out of 4 twice for their 6 rings. Pats will have played 8 different NFC teams if Vikings make it. They also might beat Vikings in their house.

NE doesn’t have Brown, Bell, or an OL as good as Pitt’s.
BB will take away Fournette. If Bortles can have an average mistake free game I think they have a good shot to win.

There's no way Minnesota is winning a January game in Philly even at full strength.
with the others that Jacksonville aren't exactly a cakewalk. I hope if anything they're going to put a good fight, would like to see them win it all this year.

in the Super Bowl. So if they get there, I’m almost positive it will be a barn burner of a game...
Jacksonville will be difficult because they will be the most physical team New England plays so far this year. Plus, they are young, hot, and fearless. And that is a dangerous combination...
And let’s be honest, this isn’t a great Patriots team...
Lulz......they barely beat the Bills and should have lost today if Mike Tomlin hadn't been determined to repeatedly shoot his team in the foot. They COULD win, but stating that a game in Foxborough is "theirs to lose" is absurd.
what the Patriots do is so easy? They're a great team, and it's hard to sustain the level of success that they have. People complain about them playing in the AFC East as a cupcake schedule. The Giants would go .500 against that division if they switch divisions with the Pats.
This obsession of hate from this fan base towards patriots success is truly pathetic.
I'm pretty sure Every fan base feels this way about the Patriots, and Boston sports in general.
Agreed...
have you ever met a Boston fan in person? Apparently not.
Same can be said for some NYG fans, fucking brutal
Patriots overly fortunate or not have done something that will be listed in football lore for years to come which IMO deserves some level of respect. My point is worry about your own team and move the fuck on. Again its pathetic.
of Dallas in the mid 70s
Dallas dominated our division
but
ever bounce seem to go their way , every game there seem to be a fortuious penalty that bailed them out of a bad situation
our division always very weak teams (5 teams in divisions ) so they seem to always be spotted 6 or more games )
this is why I hate Dallas over all the other teams..
The whole idea of the thread topic itself is funny Â
It SEEMS like the road for the Pats is easy only because you are comparing the Pats to these other teams. So, it is obvious that the Pats are really good.... and now there is a complaint that their competition may not be as strong.
Well... maybe they deserve the success that they earn?
BB filmed a practice and in another game, the balls had one pound of air less. It cannot even be determined what advantage if any the Pats gained in those two instances.
Meanwhile, this team has DOMINATED the league and it is not even close. This now makes 7 years in a row that they got to the AFC Championship game. Let that sink in for a minute. There is no cheating that can accomplish this.

Nonsense. Jags were cruising and gave up two long TDs that should never have happened, especially the one before half time. Twice they let somebody get behind the safeties when a high school team should have known better.
The Steelers oline and running game is much better than the Pats. Brady will be on his ass a bit more than he likes.
While it may not be theirs to lose, it will not be a walkover or close to one.
As for Bortles, if he played like yesterday against Tennessee, it would have been 30-3.
+1
I’ve never seen a more fortunate team in all of sports.
We faced mcnabb and cullpepper not exactly chopped liver.
I think Jacksonville shocks the world. They can play anywhere.
Jagginoff

It'll be Philly vs New England II.

I don’t hate them at all. But I do think their fortune is incredible. What’s wrong with saying that?

Vikes are going to beat them by 10 at least.

Have to route for the Pats now to make sure Philly dosent walk away with the title.

I live in Boston with them. They're unbearable to deal with. A nightmare.
Youre a jerkoff Rory and Rory is a fruit cake name
Jacksonville could be difficult. What's your point?
Bortles proves he can make enough plays to win. If the Jags D can get to Brady, it's Jacksonville's game to lose.

Right because when you win a record 6th I'm sure they'll be thinking about the two losses lol.
Absolutely ridiculous...
If anything it makes the losses less important.
The same defense that just allowed 42 to the Steelers?
