The schedule isn't as hard as what some people want to make it out to be.

The Jets won't be that tough. They're missing some key players on their defensive line. Their offense will be snuffed out by our defense, and we will beat them fairly easily. I don't have any faith in Fitzpatrick honestly.

The Steelers are paper tigers. People want to hype them up right now, but they're not even going to be that good. They're going to be missing their #2 WR, and their starting RB. They had the 29th rated passing defense last year, and I don't think that their offseason moves will help that very much. They also lost their starting LT and TE in the offseason. They won't be anywhere as good as what people are making them out to be.

The Broncos don't have a legit QB. They don't have a good run game to ease the pressure off of their rookie QB. Their OL isn't that great. Their defense is the only thing that's scary. I think it will be a low scoring game, but I don't think that the Broncos will score much more than 10 points on us, so give us the W there too.

The Dolphins will have a better offense than what they did last year because they picked up Foster, and Parker looked really good when he was healthy last year. Their defense will be worse than last year though. They lost their #1 CB and picked up Maxwell who's not even close to as good as what Grimes was. They didn't have a great defense last year anyways. We will have Burfict back for this game, and we SHOULD have Eifert back for this game too.

I would be a little worried about the Cowboys if they had Romo, but Prescott doesn't scare me that much. I know he had a good preseason, but that's all it was, preseason. They have some big weapons on that offense, plus a good offensive line. I think that Elliot will be a good RB, and Bryant is one of the best WRs in the league. Witten is a beast of a TE too. They don't have a very good defense though, and I think we can keep Prescott in check.

The Patriots won't be the same team as everyone remembers them as. They're going to take a step back this year because their defense is going to be very bad. They have been losing a lot of their key defensive starters the last couple of years. The only good players on their defense is Hightower and Brown. That's about it. The Patriots offense will still be good with Gronk/Bennett/Edelman/Amendola, but I think our defense can stop them enough to where our offense can score more points. This is going to be our toughest game, but I think we can and will take it.
