Finally out of work for a small christmas break! Pats survived another weak, and were bailed out by the D yet again, that's the way it's been for a few weeks now. The line has deteriorated again, but there were a lot of injuries and plug and play going on so we'll have to see, not to mention edelman out. That being said injuries are a part of the game, the pats are littered with glass men, and it's crazy how many of those glass men are so crucial to this team so we'll see if they can manage a run without losing at least one key piece, otherwise I'm not sure where it goes from there.
Right now the Steelers have to be the scariest threat for the pats. Ben is on point right now, Brown and Bell are unbelievable, things are coming together at the right time. The broncs are still stacked too, they'll get marshall back and that defense should bounce back. Peyton clearly had an off game, but I'm still not buying that theres anything SERIOUS wrong with him, because some of his throws in that game were unreal, so given the bye week he should be fine. Other than those 3 I can't see anybody from the AFC emerging. NFC is pretty clearly Seahawks and nobody else if Rodgers calf can't get right. That'll be contingent on this weeks game, that bye becomes huge for them.
edit-
Oh no
, this just reminded me we'll never get new huey lewis and the news music
