Patriots Schedule And Early Prediction

The Patriots schedule is out. They have one game in Europe. So what is a realistic expectation and will people be okay with it? I think that depends on the person. 

First I am going to say currently that I think the Patriots will start the season 3-3, beating Seattle, New York, and Miami. The next two wins I think come against the titans and cardinals. I think theu could get swept by the dolphins and I think both the jets and Patriots could sweep the other but I don't think the Patriots can beat Miami twice.

In the win column, I have the Patriots improving by one game but I also think they will be in a lot of games, just like last season. I think either the Arizona game or the week after, if Maye is to start, that is when he will. Playing Buffalo twice in the final four games, I wouldn't bother playing Maye until 2025. That's me though.

The worst thing for Patriots fans is for the team to finish 8-9. We should want the team to improve but not to win unless they can seize a wildcard birth. I want the draft picks and so should everyone else unless the team looks like a contender. Let the team emerge in 2025 as a wild card team, don't force 2024. And don't play Maye unless the team loses the first 7.
