The Patriots were proclaimed the SB winners way back in week 1 that year. With us it’s “with the offense not playing great… this is a flawed team but…” People still don’t believe in us. We’re still getting compared to that Steelers team that got their clocks cleaned against Cleveland in the playoffs |

I don’t think this is the same thing as the patriots pursuit. They dominated from the beginning and were due for a trap game. If we get there we will have gotten through lots of adversity and with dhop, Hollywood and Pacheco we will have late season momentum and we will have spent a lot of time figuring things out before the final stretch.
I don’t think it would be a trap for us if we go 17-0 |

16-0, just rest the starters. I'd be okay with that. That gives us 2 weeks to recover from a long season before the playoffs.

It would be awesome, but I don’t want to be the 2007 Pats either. It would most certainly be legend status to threepeat and go undefeated in the same season.

What you describe doesn't at all sounds like a Mahomes led team that's already won Super Bowls.... they don't need reminded what it takes.
Losing in the regular season, like the Colts or Christmas Day isn't them "forgetting" what it takes to win in the playoffs... it's just not the playoffs. As mention though, I'd much rather seem them rest guys at the end of the season than start guys with the goal of going undefeated.

Yes. Definitely. But it will entail backups playing game 16 and/or 17.

I like history repeating itself. Bills get us regular season and we break their hearts in the playoffs once again. That is the only game I am iffy about left on the schedule. Good chance we lose a divisional game as well, we have 4 left on the schedule. 15-2 is the probable outcome for this season if everything goes great.
Just my 2 cents. |

We should be favored in every game the rest of the way, even Buffalo.
Toney won’t be here to line up offsides this year against them, either. |

If it happens, it happens.
But it will have to be with our backups if we've locked up the 1 seed. I will say that with Carson Wentz under center, I feel much better than I would in previous years. However, the Steelers are week 17 and might be fighting for their division, and the Broncos in week 18 and might be fighting for a playoff spot.

Four NFL teams have went undefeated in the regular season. Going undefeated is therefore a bigger accomplishment and harder to do than going back to back. 17-0 is also greater than 16-0. No team has ever won 3 in a row. That's why it's so important. |

Kelce sat a consecutive 1000 yard season, last season. Reid won't be a hypocrite
