Wow mouch tougher schedule next year (opposed to this year), that's gonna be a grind...

At least we host the chiefs, would hate to play there

Broncos on the road again, shocker [/sarcasm]

You knoe your schedule is tough when the easiest game you play outside of your divisions is the Chargers

i know the schedule is based on a balanced formula and all, but damn it just seems like we play @broncos all the time

must just be that the West just happens to be won by other teams during the years we were set to host the same place finisher

would you rather have had @chiefs & hosting Denver or @denver hosting chiefs? either way is a lose lose lol

Not that worried about it. Minimum 10 win season, probably 11 or 12 though.

I'd rather not play @Denver 4 times in 3 seasons (including playoffs) which will be the case
I'd rather Denver not win their division every year that they host their AFC East same place finisher, then have Oakland win the division every time they travel to their AFC East same place finisher

I get that we won't be able to play @Denver in any of the 3 seasons after next, which is great, but right now it just seems daunting to know that a 40 year old Tom Brady will have to go into thin air next year where Von Miller will be waiting to kill him

We'll be fine as long as our line is healthy. Brady is capable of getting rid of the ball almost faster than any QB in the league. If the line is healthy, they'll be lucky to hit him more than 5 times.

Our line has been really good

It's what I love most about NE. Our most glaring problem from last year, is one I'm hardly worried about now. Ofc a team with a truly terrifying front is always going to be a problem, but it's insane how much we've improved from this time last year. We got absolutely shit on by Denver because of our line, if we had the line we did now this time last year, Brady could have very possibly got his 5th then.

I hope you guys do not win the Superbowl

Shocking.
