re: Make a (crazy) prediction about the 2017 NFL season

it certainly is crazy and difficult to criticize you given the context of the thread. But seriously there would have to be a rash of injuries with several key players going down and Bill Belichick would have to have a heart attack or otherwise quit coaching at the beginning of the season. It's pretty hard to see the Patriots going below .500 at this point. It probably won't happen until at least Brady retires.
