Ask me who do I think will win between X team and the Patriots. It's always the Patriots for as long as Brady is the QB and Belichick is the HC. This. Does no one else get tired of nitpicking the Patriots team every year only to have them jog through the playoffs like a warm up? "This year is different" I'll believe it when I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a strong majority of fans think the Patriots have the best chance to win the SB of any team. I think a strong majority of fans don't feel the need to state that the Patriots are the super bowl favorites, because that's the default.

thebestever6 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I can tell you the Superbowl contenders as of right now based on four things. -Line play -Linebacker play -rb play - QB play Niners, Patriots, Ravens, Saints,Eagles, Chiefs ( Mahomes) , Bills, Packers, Seahawks , Houston. -Tennessee is a darkkkk horse if their rookie D dlineman knocks the rust off and the offense starts to gel watch out for wild card Colts- they're always in every game I feel like if Luck was playing they would if been a 2 seed. If they had a solid kicker sorry Adam. Edited November 6, 2019 by thebestever6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying the Cowboys are super bowl contenders, but if you’re basing it on those 4 criteria, how can you not include them? top 3 linebacker group with depth top 3-5 running back great oline and pretty darn good pass rush Qb has been playing pretty well too coaching then?

I just got a feeling one of Zekes tires blow this year. There's a bigger reason he held out imo lot of mileage on those tires. Are we sold on Tony Pollard to carry the load at some point? Also think their schedule has gotten tougher and brought them down to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like what the coach of the year award has become because we know damn well that Belichick is the best coach on any given year and it isn't remotely close. People can talk about the Saints or 49ers all they want - but there's no way in hell I'd bet money on either of them to beat the Patriots when it came down to it. That doesn't make them the best team like many people are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots ability to turn it on in the 2nd half and Brady's in particular, is UNMATCHED. Like there is no way you can feel confident about facing the Patriots in the SB, regardless of how strong of a team you have. They will be favorites over any NFC team in the SB if they get there. But I'm not sure if they get passed the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough it was the inverse against KC, who also have a mastermind on the sidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping if we make the SB and you guys are on the other end, Shanahan is able to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
