Yes the patriots were 0-2 last year but remember last season-there was wildcards-this season there are no wildcards-which means that the rams will have to win their division to make the playoffs-the patriots got in the playoffs last year as a wildcard team
That's not right. There are 4 division winners and 2 wildcards this year.

THERE ARE NO WILDCARDS AT ALL THIS YEAR-it's 4 Division winners-that's why they went to the new format to eliminate the wildcards-
WRONG! Read the below page, I will cut and paste the relevant part:
A very important thing to remember with in the post-realignment NFL is how the playoff teams are determined. Each division winner makes the playoffs, leaving just 2 Wild Card teams, as opposed to the current 3. The odds of winning a team winning their division is greater, as they now have to beat just 3 other teams instead of 4 (or 5). But they are in competition with 11 other teams for just 2 Wild Card spots. Having an easier schedule can give a team a head start in the race to the post-season. It shouldn't be a surprise when a team finishes 9-7 and doesn't make the playoffs while an 8-8 team wins their weak division and makes it into January.

I think you are jumping the gun a little bit. There are 14 more games to go. I've seen teams go 5-0 and not even make the playoffs. The Rams still have a very good team. It's still waaaay too early.

If they don't win next Monday night-0-3 will be a very tough climb-and that may just kill their playoffs chances-especially when the oakland raiders coming up not too far after that.

Okay let me answer that-the patriots are not a good team because they were not supposed to beat the raiders in the AFC Divisional PLayoff round. That was clearly a fumble and Tom Brady knew it-They only beat the Rams because the rams turned the ball over a lot-and the rams still made a comeback-so the patriots did not beat the rams, the rams beat theirselves. Plus a not a big fan of Tom Brady since the patriots did Drew Bledsoe so wrong-But you better believe that Bledsoe has the game between new england circled on his calender
