Looking at the Patriots - 2019

[bideau]

Just creating a holding place and starting with the 2019 opponents.
The home slate is full of great match ups.

Excellent! The NFC East is our NFC division next season! That's great, some great games there in store.

And AFC North as well! Great stuff.

I'll pencil in 12-4 for now depending on the schedule.

1 trip to Houston. 1 trip to Miami. Everything else is withing driving distance.

Cue the controversy.

Shortest travel in league history.

NFL wants Pats to win.

Football Perspective‏ @fbgchase <small class="time"> 31 Dec 2018 </small>
Patriots Super Bowl storylines

Vs Saints - Oldest QB Bowl (and ex Parcells coaches)
Vs Rams - SB XXXVI rematch
Vs Bears - SB XX rematch
Vs Cowboys - America’s two most hated teams
Vs Seahawks - SB XLIX rematch
Vs Eagles - SB LII rematch




Without thinking about it much I think I favor vs Saints or vs Eagles for best storylines. Brees vs Brady would get a ton of press and make Brady stand out favorably. Vs Eagles for the revenge factor would be interesting but would be more coach vs coach. Saints gets my vote.

Baker Mayfield coming to the razor should be fun.

Scarnecchia indicates he is coming back for 2019.

[chevss454]

So 538 thinks the Texans will beat the Colts and the Ravens will beat the Chargers (1PM game on East Coast is a tough draw for the Chargers)


Ravens vs the Chiefs will be a fun game to watch. Physical.
Texans vs Pats would be ideal imo.

Wow, that's fantastic. Good for him, a great example of how you can stay sharp and keep working past retirement age. The OL has had some issues, Shaq and Cannon being injured didn't help, but they haven't been a bad group at all, Scar deserves credit for Trent Brown, (penalties aside) and they're still a work in progress. Shout out especially to Joe Thuney who hasn't missed one snap all season!

We can go a whole lot further than that.

Mason was the leagues top rated G I thought.

Last I’d heard Thuney had yet to give up a sack all year.

And Brown only struggles on the road. Normal. And they can scheme to help that.
