Time to focus on Philly.

The Pats returned to practice yesterday and Chung was the only player absent. Given that he missed the practice last week, I'd say that he will likely be questionable going forward.

Both teams coming off byes (gee, thanks NFL), Philly playing better the past couple of weeks. Don;t know much about Philly, so I'll have to read a lot in the coming days.
 
Read an article yesterday that losing to the Eagles and Foles in LII is still in Brady's head. I expect a big game from TB12.

Biggest game of the year by far. I think the Pats ultimate playoff seeding will rest on this game.

No, I think this will be the one we look back on one way or the other. I think Baltimore has one more loss in them so if the Pats beat Philly, I think they'll be fine (because they should win). A loss to KC may not even matter at that point.

If you have to choose losses, you ALWAYS choose a non-conference loss over a conference loss. A loss to KC has a higher impact on tie-breakers than a loss to Philly.

If your first premise is that Philly is the only real obstacle left to winning out, then perhaps that could be true but certainly debatable.

If they lose, it'll be their second straight loss (including one coming out of the bye week). It'll also strengthen the premise that they can't beat good teams. Personally, I think the only game as I see on the schedule that is a "lean loss" is KC, the rest should be wins. Philly, to me, is a toss up and will set up the second half of the season.
 
Looks like Philly is #8 defense in yards allowed but way down the list on points allowed at 23.7 which ranks them #18

On offense they're #20 in yards and #13 in points.

Not looking good for NE!

Looking a helluva lot better for the Pats than it is for the Chefs. Pats are so your head it's pathetic.

Games are won by who scores more points not yards...but keep trying :coffee:
 
Tough game. I hope this is the game where Brady goes on a run and gels with the offense

The difference between a loss to Houston and a loss to Philadelphia is that the Houston loss will affect our home field advantage category as opposed to Philadelphia which will not affect us in the home field advantage category. The two losses are not equal because Houston and Kansas City for that matter our in our conference.
