I have a Patriots question: (1 Viewer)

[Kyle brister]

Will they ever have to play a real nfl team? Or do they just get patsies all the way through?

 

[Taker597]

They didn't play one in the last Superbowl. So, it's nothing new.

 

[GW93]

Well, they get the Dolphins and Jets twice...

We just have to be Patient after this they face a couple tough games against the Jets and Browns

Just like for years we played in a weak division. It comes in cycles.

When was that?

When was that?

Old NFC south. We got to play those 49ers and Rams twice a year. We probably owe all of our championships before 2009 to that fact.

 

[DavidM]

I can’t think of a time since at least the 80s when either the NFC West or the South was a runaway for the same team year after year.

49ers got a challenge from the Rams and or Saints most seasons. The South champ has been spread around.

They have a more challenging stretch week 9-14, the rest of the schedule is easy

@ Baltimore week 9
Bye week 10
@ Philly week 11
Dallas week 12
@ Houston week 13
KC week 14

Please refresh my memory. What year was that?

It was sweet of the league to squeeze in their bi week in there. With such a difficult schedule.

Dallas is not a challenge for them and Mahomes will probably be injured (ankle) by then. Not to mention Watson may not be healthy either with the beating he is taking. And for good measure, Wentz may be injured as well?

 

[J.T.]

The current cumulative record of the opponents, 16 game Patriots schedule is 29-47.
The current cumulative record of the opponents, 16 game Saints schedule is 40-38-1.

The BYE weeks make the numbers different.

I just read somewhere where they have the easiest current remaining strength of schedule. They're pretty much guaranteed of #1 or #2 seed.
