Unless they lose to the 17-0 Colts in the playoffs, and that would be hysterical. Not that I'm a Colts fan either (depressed Bears fan). But god damn they're good.

I say no.
I am a huge Pats fan, but if the Pats wrap up a bye and home field....don't expect many of the starters to be on the field for games 15 or 16.
Besides, Indy and Pittsburgh aren't gimmes by any stretch.

The Pats are very good this year, but will not go 16-0. They will have a hard time against a determined Colts team. They also have to deal with a similarly built team to themselves in the Steelers. The Steelers have slightly superior defense, better running game, an established QB, only lacking area compared to the Pats is at the WR position. I am not a Steeler or Pats fan, but I think the Steelers can come in and win this game.....Also, don't forget that the Pats have had the tendency in the past to lose to bad or at best average teams (that Miami game a couple seasons ago). I can see the Ravens beating the Pats in Baltimore, but more likely I see the Giants beating the Pats in the regular season finale as that game will likely mean more for the Giants than the Pats.

Indeed, the Pats are playing like robots. Merciless, uncaring, and like complete machines. But it won't be the Colts that beat them in the regular season. It will be the least likely of candidates. Right now I'd be VERY worried about teams that clearly have nothing to lose. Teams who's only accomplishment would be to beat the Patriots. So yeah, I'd be nervous about playing the Colts later in the season. But what do the the 0-6 Dolphins have to lose? What about the rest of the underdogs? All it takes is one to find a chink in the Patriots armor! And I for one will be a fan of whoever plays the Pats this year. I friggin hate them!

They could very well match the '72 Dolphins for the best season ever...but, I wouldn't be surprised if they were 15-1 or 14-2, losing toward the end of the season after clinching home field in the playoffs and sitting the starters the last couple games...but I think this Pats team would be considered more dominant the way they just roll over their opposition...Tom Brady is showing he is every bit as good and even better than Peyton Manning...I personally have always felt that...The rings don't lie...

nope. theres a reason why there has only been 1 team to go 16-0. at some point the pats defense will give up a big play or brady will throw some picks. or the pats will have everything wrapped up by week 14 that they play all the backups for the last 2 games to rest the starters.
