Patriots Tough Schedule coming up

[Partial]

The Pats have a pretty tough schedule coming up. Personally, I have a bet going that they drop a couple of games with a friend who thinks they'll run the table. I suspect we'll see them fall to any number of these teams:

Washington
@Indy
@Baltimore
Pittsburgh
@NYGiants

I hate the Patriots.

Colts are the only team might, after that I agree with your friend.

It will be more interesting to see what happens when the weather turns. The Pats to this point have played in perfect weather.

As they say "Any given Sunday...", so the Patriots could drop a couple games. I would like to see that too. They are so cocky right now. They are playing at such a high level right now. If they maintain it they will run the table, but if a team catches them off guard they can easily lose.

I hate the Patriots.

You probably didn't say that in 2001 when they beat the Warner led Rams though, did you? :P

My how times have changed.... I understand, BTW...

FWIW, I think your friend is right. They'll probably run the table. Colts are the only ones that I think beat them, but I'm not sure the Defense has enough in the tank to stop them.

They'll lose one if not a couple of those games.

Washington springs the upset this week.

No chance that the skins win this weekend although they will be looking ahead to the Colts but imo, will win a close game.

[HarveyWallbangers]

There's always a chance. If Miami could blow out the Patriots last year and the Colts 0-9-1 team could beat the defending champs (Pack) 41-38 in 1997 with a backup QB, anything is possible. It's the NFL.

I agree, there is always a chance but in my humble opinion, the skins aren't good enough and that is even if the Pats are looking ahead to the Colts game. If it was in Washington I may think otherwise but it is in NE.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think Washington has a good team. Normally, the Patriots win this one 9 out of 10, but they are bound to be off in a game, and Washington is the type of team that could take advantage. I think they have the best pair of safeties in the NFL, and that might help limit the impact of Randy Moss.

[BallHawk]

Outside of the Colts, the Ravens have the best chance at beating them.

By season's end, the Ravens are probably going to be the 3rd best team in the AFC. They're going through some bumps right now, but they're a talented football team and they should work out the kinks.

Actually, put me on record for saying the Ravens beat the Pats.

I'll gladly eat some crow pie if Baltimore loses.

I think there are plenty of teams with good shots.

Jacksonville is a good team and could face them in the Playoffs.
San Diego will be a tough team to beat in the Playoffs.
Pittsburgh could beat them on the ground. Big Ben is playing lights out as well.
Indy will be an absolute battle.
Washington is a very tough team.
Baltimore will be very tough when healthy.

They probably won't run the table because they won't stay this lucky the whole year. An injury to Moss and they aren't as bulletproof.

[Freak Out]

I disagree...I think Indy has the only real shot a beating them unless some key people start getting hurt. I can see them going without a loss in the regular season.

Remember that unstoppable Packers team that had the best offense and defense (both ranked #1 in the league). They lost a couple of games.
