00:00So when you look at this team and your expectations going into the season,

00:05have they exceeded them?

00:07And what is the limit?

00:09Like, where do you cap the promise of this team this season?

00:13It certainly looks good for a long time, but for this season.

00:18Yeah.

00:19So, Fred, I think if we go back, I think I said eight wins at the start of the season.

00:22They're halfway there.

00:23So I don't think I would have expected they'd be halfway there at this point.

00:28So they're ahead of where I thought they would be.

00:32I don't cap it, Fred.

00:34I think anything is possible.

00:36The AFC is wide, wide, wide open to me.

00:40The things that would concern me for the Patriots is depth.

00:43If they get a run of injuries, they're not the deepest team.

00:47But right now, when they have to bring the next man up, they are getting by.

00:52Like yesterday, a good example, Jalen Hawkins starting safety doesn't play.

00:56Kyle Duggar plays every snap.

00:58After not playing or after playing just one snap the week before.

01:04So I think it's all there for them.

01:07The schedule is favorable.

01:09And there's a lot to look forward to the rest of the season.

01:12So you think they could make the Super Bowl?

01:15Why not?

01:16I mean, Fred, I know that's going to be a headline.

01:18And please don't do that to me, anyone that's listening to this.

01:22Do you know what I mean?

01:23Well, you said it sounded like you were getting there.

01:26You said the AFC is wide open, and that is true.

01:29So do you think that they could get to the Super Bowl?

01:31So do I think they could get to the Super Bowl?

01:37I wouldn't bet on it.

01:38But why say they wouldn't?

01:40They've been in all six games.

01:43Who else?

01:43You guys tell me.

01:45Who else in the AFC would you say is definitely going there?

01:51Buffalo for one.

01:52I don't know if there's definitely anyone.

01:54That is a good point.

01:55But Buffalo is the odds-on favorite.

01:57I watched Kansas City beat Detroit last night.

02:00I don't think they're done.

02:01I mean, there are some monsters out there.

02:04I agree.

02:06But you think Buffalo is a monster.

02:08What happened in week five when the Patriots went into Buffalo?

02:12Now, that's a very good win.

02:14But I think at the end of the season,

02:17Buffalo is going to have more wins than the Patriots do.

02:19So, and, John, like, have you matched up their schedules?

02:24I don't disagree with you, and I think that's a safe play.

02:29But they got some tough games on their schedule, Buffalo.

02:33If I remember right, Tampa.

02:34If I remember right, Kansas City.

02:36I believe Baltimore is on there.

02:39Well, Baltimore is not what they use.

02:41Yeah, like being in a position to get there is one thing.

02:44And, yeah, I think we're all, you know, thinking about playoffs as a possibility

02:48or even a probability way more than we were at the beginning of the season.

02:51But I can rattle off four or five teams in the AFC right now

02:55that I don't love the Patriots' chances against even in a divisional round.

03:00The Broncos, the Colts.

03:02I don't – the Steelers seem to be playing better.

03:05There's – and I don't like them again against Buffalo,

03:10and I certainly don't like them against the Chiefs.

03:13So – but all those teams are fine, Hardy.

03:15But if you've watched the Patriots in six games, have they been in every game?

03:21Mm-hmm.

03:21Yeah.

03:22So that's my point is they've been in every game.

03:25So all those teams you mentioned, I don't disagree with what you said.

03:28I think they would be in the game with all six of those teams,

03:33which is why I say anything's possible and enjoy it.

03:36We haven't had this for the last three years.

03:40Like this is professional football played at a pretty good level

03:43with room for improvement with a pretty good quarterback here

03:47who's getting better by the week.

03:49So that's all I'm saying.
