Can anyone beat the Patriots

Patriots are all but a lock to win the SuperBowl this season. Unless Brady gets hurt you may as well hand out the title. This team is the best coached team in the league and they continue to win with no name players. Belli will go down as one of the best coaches ever. Patriots will kill the Jets next monday night.

trying a reverse jinx steel?

defense still has ways to go. been getting lucky a few times. Definitely improving week to week but dont know if they will be there by the time the playoffs come around.
Seeing a little more playmaking from the young D, but they still gotta be able to close games in the 4th q. Having a good coach is def a big advantage as we see in-game adjustments make a big difference.

No reverse jinx I just don't see any team that has the ability to beat Belli in the playoffs. I know its early but I bet they already have the trophy ingraved.

Defense is historically bad

They are allowing close to 400 yards a game average. I think less than 7 or 8 teams in the history of the NFL have allowed that many

Brady is unbelievable, but they won't get out of the AFC

gerk I agree the defense is the worst they have had, ever. But do you see week to week improvement? I do. Im not saying it will be enough, but it might be by the time the playoffs come around.

I wouldnt say they dont get out of the AFC, its all about seeding. If they get top seed, it will come down to the other matchups. They might see their worst matchups be taken out earlier by other teams. It involves some luck.

I dont see any team in the NFC beating them (maybe Green Bay? if healthy). So it is all about winning the AFC East, which should put them on the AFC championship game.

Only the Patriots can beat the Patriots. This is a Superbowl contender if not shoe in Champion!! GO PATS!!! The Jets look far weaker than their record, and the Pats look stronger than theirs. Can't wait for the rematch. HATE the f*ckin' Jets.

We'll know more about San Diego and their chances after Sunday Night. Other than that I see Baltimore as a challenger in the AFC.

Giants stun Patriots to win Super Bowl.....I wouldn't be so quick to hand the Pats a title unless you have forgotten what happened on February 3, 2008 that led to that headline. In my humble opinion the team who will win the Super Bowl is a team who's defense will step up and dominate.

I really have my doubts that the Pats will kill the Jets next Monday night. Yea, they may win but most often these 2 teams play very tight games. Even when someone wins by say 2 TD's its usually because 1 team or the other gets a very late break and pulls away at the end of the game. Ryan usually has a pretty good defensive game plan in place....usually its to keep the pressure on Brady.

People are saying a number of Jet wins have been lucky. If it was the Pats winning that way people would be saying they are finding ways to win. I hope the books think the Pats will kill the Jets too.

Ran I watched Pit get destroyed by the Pats. The only team I can see beating them is the SD Chargers. I put money on them to win the Superbowl now I am just waiting for them to get in.

Pats are beatable because their defense is crap. The Chargers already owned the shit out of them one time but had some fluke ass shit happen and lost by a fg. AND that was without several top offensive weapons. Many teams in the AFC can beat them strictly based on the fact they are not good at stopping people

I agree they are the best coached team but I would not overestimate their performance on thnx giving...

Lions and Patriots were not out there trying to destroy each other for the most part, as I recall I do not remember

to many blitzes dialed up, but it is going to be hard to bet against them....If philly can get a good balance of run

and pass I think they are the favorites in the NFC ...The J.E.T.S are like a young patriot team in my eyes meaning

playing A+ football disregarding a misstep against G.B... Baltimore and/or Pitt will bring the heat as was brought by the browns...

It is gonna be good

The Jets are not playing A+ football and the Jets are not a team that will beat the Patriots
