I know this might seem premature as the Cheatriots have had slow starts before but this time it seems different. Brady is fighting father time, who is undefeated. Their offense looked bad against the Lions and their defense looks really slow, at least in the LB corps. Kerryon Johnson made the Cheatriots look like they had their feet in mud as he ran past them to the outside. I know they've often recovered and ended up making the playoffs but they're playing 3-0 Miami who could put some nails in the coffin if they don't choke this coming weekend.

I think the Rams would destroy this version of the Cheatriots but unfortunately, we don't play them until 2020.

Things will pick up when Edelmen returns but there's a feeling to this year with them... they could turn things around if they get their running game sorted out, actually.

Think you're right, even with all those guys out for the game, running to the edges on them is the way to go. Someone else said they're strong up front but slow in speed.

I think Belichick got a little too cute in moving Cooks. What made that offense go outside of Brady was a dominant TE which they really don't have any more. Coaching can only do so much. A great QB can only do so much. They're not good enough to rep the AFC this year IMO.

It's probably going to be Jax. That's a deep roster with impact players not to mention experience last year in being eliminated, and should win out come playoff time.

Gordon could help them if he sees the field. But I’m going with my heart and saying the pleasingly plump lady has begun her chorus.

Ask me after the season. Every year it seems they start off rough and end up in the super bowl.

Jax was sure an offensive juggernaut yesterday. Titans defense is good. That good?

Edelman and Gordan can turn the offense around. I understand they have some injuries on the defense too. I wouldn't stick a fork in them just yet.

It's only week 3. There's still plenty of time left.

That shitty division they're in will keep them playoff bound.

Miami should have lost to the rai-duhs yesterday... they are 3 - 0 fools gold.

Just going off rosters and quality of coaching at this point. The Titans are very talented but unpredictable and their coaching ain't up to snuff. IMO Jags are the team, and the team who looks like they might be greater than the sum of their parts thus far is the Ravens.

But hell what do I know. I've flat out had my @$$ kicked thus far in pools soooo...

Yeah... I just think the AFC is a mess right now. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see the phins or bungles make some noise.

But I’m not good at predictions either except picking my Rams to go 19-0 is looking pretty solid. ;)
