00:00the new england patriots are nine and two number one seed best team in the afc we made that very

00:04clear has anybody taken a look yet at who they have played and who they are playing next give

00:12me my full screen please and let me change my glasses here so i can see what i'm looking at

00:17okay yes let's just oh look at that let's just take a gander at who they've beaten and who they

00:24have coming up next now we do it special here on the craig carton show we don't show you who they

00:29be beaten like what are we doing we only show you that they won and what the score all right so

00:36these glasses do nothing for me take them back off put the stylish one i got all right and let tyrone

00:44read for me week one yeah i got they beat the raiders raiders one of the worst teams in football go

00:49week two they beat the dolphins dolphins one of the worst teams in football go then they lost to the

00:55steelers okay steelers right now are still in first place in their division and barely over 500 but

01:00they are a winning team right now go yes then they beat the panthers panthers one of the worst teams

01:05in football don't have a quarterback go they beat the bills okay buffalo bills that's a great win not

01:09a good one because that was kind of like the coming of age win for this particular patriots franchise

01:14and it proves to everybody that they are for real go quick and then it was the uh titans titans stink

01:21that are the worst team of football i'm sorry saints then titans saints suck titans suck they

01:25all suck here's the point of this when you take a look at who the patriots have beaten right now

01:30the steelers and the tampa bay buccaneers and the bills are the only three teams they've beaten thus far

01:35what do you record only because they played and they lost yes okay so the reality of that is what

01:41all right they've beaten up on bad teams but that's what good teams do if you look at the rest of their

01:47schedule it's again a collection of bad football teams okay here's the reality i think right now

01:55the new and patriots are a mortal lock for 13 wins and might get to 14 it's on the table right now that

02:03there's only one more loss on their schedule i think it's more likely it's 13 wins but it's on the table

02:08to have one more loss when it's all said and done the new england patriots will have beaten in a 17

02:16game schedule two teams with a winning record because the steelers look like a shell themselves

02:22they're going downhill we know baltimore is on the come up right now okay and they play them yeah

02:27right uh we know tampa's gonna finish over 500 uh and the buffalo bills are gonna finish over 500 as

02:33well they're nobody else there's no one else the pittsburgh steelers are not a lock to finish over 500

02:39so the question then becomes how good are the new england patriots right that's the question

02:47we have to ask and i've got the answer all right they're really good but we don't know how good they

02:55are and tyrone and i were talking before the show this year's patriots team is starting to get the feel

03:02for me of last year's lions team even last year's minnesota vikings team when now those teams had

03:10injuries at which the patriots don't have right now but you know those teams went into the playoffs

03:15winning 14 games yep right and the lions got the first round by bang lost to washington minnesota

03:25had to travel to la bang lost to the rams round one so before you get all cocky and i respect it

03:34if i was a patriot fan i'd be cocky and a loud mouth and obnoxious because i got the best team in the afc

03:40do not rest on your laurels yet the fair comment about new england is we just don't know and it's

03:50not their fault i want to be very clear about it vrabel is going to be coach of the year drake may's

03:54doing great travion henderson might be the comeback player or the most improved player of the year three

04:00touchdowns yesterday against the jets right tremendous but the reality is that they haven't

04:05played anybody they haven't they're gonna have two total wins when the season's over against winning

04:11teams two meaning 10 11 12 other wins are against losing teams that are not in the postseason so i guess

04:20the question i have for all of you watching this you're gonna comment on twitter and instagram and

04:25facebook where we're the number one most popular show in the land how good are they how good like

04:32am i anointing the new england patriots right now as these super bowl champions if they played the

04:37kansas city chiefs in foxborough today would they even be favored no right if they played the baltimore

04:44ravens in a playoff game would they be favored they'll be home may be the better quarterback no

04:50and that's why i'm just cautioning you now what's today's date let me check friday november 14th

04:57i think in the moment it cannot be argued that the patriots are the best team but i think it can

05:03be argued that they're a one and done in the postseason

05:06you
