How do you guys think the Pats will do this year? Check out this article I wrote for Football Nation about why the Pats will miss the playoffs (wishful thinking, I know):

Not going to be a homer. I think we'll contend for the division this year but I still think they take it unfortunately. I see the jets getting 10 to 11 wins while I see the pats as a 12+ win team if brady plays 16 games. They only had 2 losses last year and there defense was piss poor. There offense improved this year and their defense will be better. I don't think they'll be the 25th ranked defense this season. I dont think it'll be as good as ours but it will improve this year with all those young guys having another year under their belts. I think we'll have a shot but I don't think we're quite there yet. We are getting realy close. I think we can beat them most times but they will probably be the more consistant team.

[JetsOhFive]

Pats will win the division because they have an elite quarterback and the Jets have a mediocre one. That's pretty much the difference right now.

[Jetsfan115]

pats will win 10-12 as always. anyone who said less then 10 is crazy. but i still think we can take the division. won't e easy

Dude, misspelling Shaun Ellis' name is blasphemy.

[S-Dubb]

The Patriots will get less then 6 wins dammit.

Nah they'll get 10-12 wins as usual, no one else can really beat them besides a powerhouse.

Guys lets have a deeper look, lets look at their schedule.

They might get more wins then 12 this year realistically. I mean who's gonna beat them?

Only ones on that list that could beat them would be Jets, Chargers,Colts,Eagles and Steelers.

Their defensive front is nasty. Andre Carter is going to have a huge year for them.

Now that he's a Pat, it's allowed.

Who would you rather have in the post season? The Patriot's Brady who is 2-3 in the playoffs since they got busted cheating or the 4-2 Jets Sanchez? I know who I'd rather have and his first name sure as hell isn't Tom. It all comes down to what have you done for me lately and Sanchez has come up bigger than Brady.

Please correct the second quote. I did not say that buffoonery.

[FlyHiJets]

My apologies. Forgot to update that. Definitely was NOT you SHJ.

[Jetsfan0099]

Patriots will go 14-2 again and win the division

[azjetfan]

I think we will start slow with the new additions to the O. With that being said I have us at 10 wins and pats at 14. The Pats will loose one to us and one to either SD or Pitt. They have added some talent and filled their holes

the biggest thing about the pats is not only do they beat good teams, but they usually win the games there suppsoed to. no let downs. belly always has them ready. unlike us last year who struggled against det, clevlenad, and den and took last minute heroics to win.

[Jetsman05]

I've always been this way but -

Who f***ing cares about the Pats. Not me. I only care about our team and what we put on the field, if we win games, we don't have to worry about anything else.

Thank you. The Jets can only worry about themselves. What that Pats do or don't should not be our concern. The Jets need to focus on getting home field advantage.

I know who I'd rather have and his first name sure as hell isn't Tom. It all comes down to what have you done for me lately and Sanchez has come up bigger than Brady.

Jets are probably Super Bowl champions last year, and maybe the year before, if Tom Brady is the QB. All Mark Sanchez had was a great offensive line, a great receiving corps and a strong running game. And he was basically useless against a shitty Indianapolis defense and would have been bounced in the first round if not for a great kick return by Cromartie and a great catch by Edwards (Which was also credit to Sanchez, not trying to take anything away from that last drive). Then he got to play a terrible New England defense before shitting the bed in the first half of the AFC Championship game.

You can say he came back well in the second half, but I can counter that and say Pittsburgh took their foot off the pedal.

Sanchez isn't a good quarterback, and you guys are kidding yourselves if you think what he's shown thus far is "Super Bowl Material." And it's frustrating that the Jets are a QB short of a championship right now.

I don't think Sanchez is bad by any stretch of the imagination. He's okay...and he did improve from year 1 to year 2. But it's year 3 now, and you don't see a lot of QBs that take more than 3 seasons to show you what you're going to get. If he doesn't become a top level QB this year, I don't think it's ever going to happen. I hope he really explodes this year, because with the Jets in "win-now" mode, it'll be a real shame to see the window of opportunity close because the QB was just mediocre. And don't kid yourselves, you know it was the Jets' defense that got them to back to back AFC title games.

The only correct "reasons" would be:

"2. I'm assassinating Bill Belichik.

1. I'm assassinating Tom Brady."

i know i know
i caught it after i clicked submit and the editor sadly the editor didnt catch it :(

[gmany3k]

what I found interesting was in your article was this line "Rex Ryan being in the same division as them is bad news for the Patriots. They must miss Eric Mangini."

I'd rather speculate that Mangini may have been a mole for Bill all along . Mangini had our players under mental duress most of the time focusing on character issue's rather than beating the opposition .

I think our defense will get to QB's this year and may even lead the league. some of those linebackers are going to make a difference with they are in there. westerman ,maybin,mauga.

I like jetsohfive's attitude . however Sanchez is not going to be Tom Brady or Manning but a pretty good QB just not a HOFer as of yet , he needs more time to reach his prime .

How would he perform under bill's system would be one way to judge Shanchez all thing considered .

we have the secondary with which to keep Brady at bay and we should see it on the scoreboard as well.

[S-Dubb]

The road to the division runs through New England. It's definitely a top worth discussing.

[Smedsthejet]

Just for once it would be nice if we can take the division and give Sanchez and the team a home playoff game (and maybe even a week off). Still, it's going to be very tricky to top the Pats this year, but I believe we can do it if we don't drop any stupid games like we have the past couple seasons - see home games against the Bills and Dolphins.
We're 3-2 against NE the past two seasons, so we've proven that the team is more than capable of topping Brady and co., but it has been other games against supposedly weaker opponents that have let us down. Develop a ruthless streak like the Pats have and it could be a very tight affair atop the AFC East.
