Can Anyone In The AFC Stop The Patriots?

[Isabellas2007]

I know the Patriots are a great team, but do you think anyone in the AFC can stop this team? They seem to have run roughshod over the division the past couple of years. Any comments or thoughts on who can stop them?

The AFC is going to have a team to stop them. I am not sure if it will be this year, but they are starting to age and cracks will show up. I mean look at Indy, they were a team which everyone thought would be unbeatable, but now look at them.

Maybe the Ravens and Steelers, if the Ravens get their receivers in better shape this year they should do very well for themselves.

Also the Jets since they got Tebow now (not srs)

Ravens probably have one more year with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to stop them. They were within one play last year. The key is going to be if they can protect Flacco. The offensive line might struggle this year.

Um, you act as if the Patriots are in the Super Bowl every year? They aren't, so many teams can and have stopped them. The Steelers and Ravens are always an issue for the Patriots and I do think that the Jets will cause them problems this year and because of Tim Tebow.

[Jeremy Green]

I think the Steelers could if Big Ben is healthy throughout the entire season.

[NoCanklesPlease]

Yes, the Patriots are beatable. There are quite a few teams that can beat them including the Ravens, Steelers, and Jets.

Watch out for the Houston Texans this year. I do not know if New England plays them this season, but if they do, and it is in Houston, I will put all my money on the Texans. That does not mean that I think the Texans will go all the way, I just think they can beat the Patriots in a regular season game.
