Should the Pats be favored to win again in 2019?

No team has ever won 4 Super Bowls in 6 years except the 70s Steelers. I can see that changing next season.

1) Belichik and Brady are coming back.

2)I think the Pats have about 10 picks in this year's draft

3) They play in the AFC East and will almost certainly give them a home playoff game and probably a bye.

4) The only team that appears to have any chance of beating them in the AFC playoffs is KC, which  won't be able to do so without significantly improving their defense. Even if they get home field  advantage it won't  mean anything. Seriously, how do you score  31 points in the 2nd half at home and still lose a game after picking the opposing QB off two times?

5) Overall, the AFC is weak. The Pats lost 5 (4 AFC and 1 NFC)  games to teams that didn't make the playoffs (Jags, Lions, Titans, Steelers, and Dolphins) and still got the 2nd seed in the playoffs this season.

6) I don't see a team in the NFC I would pick to beat the Pats in a SB game heading into this off-season. 

How do the rest of you feel about 2019? I'm expecting more of the same.

No. Age is catching Brady. He can no longer effectively throw down the field. There's only so much you can do to scheme around that. They won tonight despite this. Belichick just took McVay and Goff to school. Brady and the Pats will likely see a ton of press single high coverage next year because they honestly don't have a way to threaten it.

I made a typo in the original post. The Pats have been to so many Super Bowls lately that I forgot they lost to the Eagles last year when I typed the original post.

They've won 3 of the last 5 title games and haven't missed the Super Bowl since Peyton Manning retired (who had a 3-1 record vs Brady in AFC title games)

If the pats become the first team to win three Superbowls in a row next season then there is no doubt the NFL is rigged.

I mean it would pretty much have to rigged for them to take last season's Eagles SB win and give it to NE.

This fact alone proves how weak the AFC has been, and for how long.  The Patriots are a well run organization, but if they were in, say, the NFC East for the past 20 years, you could easily cut their success in half.  If they were in the NFC South for the past 20 years, you could probably cut 2/3rds of it out.  The AFC has been completely full of garbage teams for several decades.  

Yes, the Brady's and Mannings of the world have won many super bowls, but their path to the promised land was MUCH easier.

Not yet at least, until they find the next Edelman or a legit #2 threat. They do have a great run game with Sony Michel. He's great, a good back. They'll be right back in the mix with the Chiefs and company. Wouldn't be surprised to see the superbowl run through Foxborough this time. They'll find a way to get it done, they have a ton of picks and belichick always finds a couple of gems and good guys. I damn sure wouldn't put my balls on the line against them and say they wont make it to the SB next year.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
