00:00we've illustrated that the pats can play with anyone they're playing as good a football as

00:03anyone we all watch the rest of the league thursday friday yesterday got a real good view

00:08real good gauge for the second time in a couple of weeks when the pats are on thursday night football

00:12you got to do the same thing you'll get to do it again next week when the pats are on the bye week

00:16i don't see another team where i look at them and go the pats cannot hang with that team i don't

00:20know how you could maybe i thought it was the rams going into the weekend not anymore like they just

00:25got they lost to carolina who you smoked so i'm not telling you that's a lock but it's not like

00:31you can't play with the rams or they're playing on another level from you what's a realistic

00:36expectation for this team this year i think it's divisional round i mean i think you know as much

00:41as we want to say hey they can play with anybody yeah of course but they could also lose any of

00:46these top playoff teams we'll see on home field advantage they may or may not have that like we

00:51don't know like they might have the bye they might not if they have the bye then obviously you're already

00:55in the divisional round and then you can get greedy and you want more but you can finish with

00:59the same record as denver yeah lose the tiebreaker and have to play wild card weekend and if you have

01:05a home game against houston buffalo pittsburgh like let's say buffalo that's not like a gimme win

01:11you know and like i would still overall do the whole thing where i'd be like that's a successful

01:14season you made the playoffs for four win team blah blah blah but sitting here today going into the

01:19week 13 game they should be one of the final four teams in the afc so okay wow so you have

01:25uh final four teams in the afc that makes more sense so i would i would just tweak what you said

01:29you said at least divisional round i would just say they should win a game so if you have the bye oh

01:35i don't want you in the conference championship i don't want you losing at home with the one seed

01:40losing that first game i i would not feel like that is what should happen also really matters because if

01:47the first game is against mahomes or allen that's so much different than like cj stroud or the corpse of

01:53that does matter so let i mean let's let that play out you might play daniel jones in your first

01:57game like all right you should win that game let's let that play out and let let's see how it goes

02:00but i'm not going to crush them for losing to the chiefs i don't think although we're also

02:05at one end of our mouth saying i'm not going to crush them for losing to the chiefs out the other

02:08we're saying they're done and they're six and six and they're the tendency well they yeah but i mean

02:12i don't know if they're ever really done like i'm waiting for the undertaker gift for mahomes and

02:16answer something about like mahomes in the playoff

02:17you
