I really don't see how the Pats don't walk away with the AFC Conference clinched up. Their team only got better.
I think Houston has a shot if Schaub can stay healthy. I mean they played well at Baltimore last year in the 2nd round with who there 4th string qb? Also they should go 6-0 in their division. I'm going Pats/Houston in the AFC Title Game.

that and they have super easy schedule. big part of that is because the rest of that division is complete trash. the other quarterbacks in that division are tannenhill, sanchez, tebow, and fitzpatrick lol.

Houston comes off as the only threat in my opinion. That D is just awesome, but like you mentioned, it all comes down to the health of both Schaub and Johnson.

Seriously. That QB drop off is huge. Manning/Vick/Romo/Griffin can be seen as a pretty balanced competition. Going from Brady to Fitzpatrick is insane.
It's a tough schedule. As always, I'm not confident in the OLine or the LBers, and with TT gone, an area of the team I thought would be much improved takes a hit with more and more injuries.
I'm thinking closer to 9-7
agree on OL, disaster area
imo CB is no worse than last year but S is better
LB-really? Rivers plus Williams & Herz getting better makes this years LBs the best in years imo. Not dominant at all but much better than we've had since AP/Kawika in 07 imo.
DT is my #2 concern. Rocky has been great this preseason but I can't imagine it'll last. A fresh Canty late could be nice. Really hope Austin finally plays this year. Joseph is a stud in waiting imo.
