  1. Hush, you’re ruining the narrative. Think of all the journalists and sportscasters who will need to actually do some work to find something to talk about.

  2. The early season losses are frustrating, but perhaps they helped to galvanize this team and give them the edge they needed to go on this run.

  3. “We’re on to Cincinnati”. It’s either a tomato can or a trap game. Just different points of view. That stat sheet does point out that pre-season (or last season’s) rankings mean little. Legit teams take care of business. KC has literally lost a step. Pittsburgh (even though we lost to them) doesn’t scare me. Buffalo is real, but coasting on reputation, Josh will have to carry them. Jax? Hell no. I wouldn’t swap our roster with anyone’s, and that’s even if we keep Drake in the deal. Be afraid, NFL, be afraid. Pats are a young and improving weekly team.

  4. Current strength of victory of the top 3 seeds in the AFC:

    Broncos: .357

    Patriots: .359

    Colts: .361

    Yet our schedule is the only one getting attention in the media. Weird.

  5. Pretending beating the Panthers is worthy of praise while beating the Chiefs isn’t is some remarkably silly cope now, c’mon now.

  6. The Patriots have a pretty easy schedule, things have broken this way this year. *And* they’ve performed. Both can be true. Why do people get so bent out of shape about? The Patriots haven’t played a very hard schedule. *Good!*

    I can’t tell you the strength of schedule for any single Super Bowl champion. At the end of the season they don’t ask the quality of your wins they just ask for the amount. So let people talk about the schedule, I think it’s the last thing we need to defend the wall about.
