First they lose to the Jets in an effort to knock the Steelers out of the Playoffs
Yes they did, do not tell me that was not the plan
Then they lose to the Dolphins to avoid the Steelers in the playoffs as the lowest seed which is Pittsburgh would play the number 1 seed so the Pats decided to give up the Number one seed to avoid the Steelers.
Yes they will beat the Cheifs
the Steelers will handle Denver
and the Steelers will give the Patriots what its dreaded all along
a Playoff game with the Steelers.
To be honest, it makes sense from a matchup-standpoint. Of all the three remaining teams in the AFC, the Steelers have one thing the others don't provide: they have a good OL and can beat the Patriots deep (with a healthy Ben and he was healthy when they dropped those games). Last year the Patriots were very good against deep balls because of Revis, Browner and McCourty. Their LB corps was banged up so it was more about the short to medium passes they were vulnerable against. The Steelers have already shown in week 1 that they are a good matchup against the Patriots.

You obviously didn't watch any of games the starters played and took a physical beating including the QB 
I agree 100% with your insight here as I have the same. You will see a totally different Patriots team than what we saw the last few weeks. They were a banged up team for sure, my only issue with them was if they wanted to protect Brady in the finale then just start Jimmy G and go with your usual game plan, Brady only throwing 5 passes in the first half was a little much to swallow. I believe home field throughout the playoffs is huge but BB and Brady always say " It is not where you play it is how you play". I think a healthy Pats team can beat any team anywhere if they play their game.
