I’ve held the opinion for a few years now that Brady’s limitations were holding that team back a bit.

They have different limitations with Cam now, though.

Newton is still a solid QB, but he has never been the most accurate, and he’s never been the greatest manager of the game. Even at 43, I’d say Brady still has a superior throwing arm - both power and accuracy - in comparison to Newton. And we all know Brady is one of the best ever at the LOS.

I do think, overall, going from Brady to Newton is a net positive, but their offense still has big question marks for me.

I don't think this is their most talented team, but the reality is Belichick will coach his guys up and perform when other teams make dumb mistakes and panic (see the Bills, or the Ravens tonight and in last year's playoffs). We're definitely the better team, but I'm not 100% sold that the Bills/Steelers/Ravens are miles ahead of the Pats.

I said earlier, but I think these Patriots are better than last season. Definitely not winning the top seed. I really don't see it. I'm betting we win 10-12 games, however for argument sake I'll say 11.

I think Bills might win AFC East, but I honestly have a weird feeling they'll collapse come postseason. My early pick for a playoff game will be 13-3 Chiefs versus 10-6 or 11-5 Patriots.. I can see us getting by the first round this year to at least have a crack at you guys.

For sure, but they went toe to toe with Wilson. And Cam has had playoff success.

But really it's just the fact that Belichick's teams are smart and usually disciplined. That just goes a long way and can make a difference against slightly more talented teams. Especially in a generally weak conference, or at least what feels like a generally weak conference.

A Chiefs/Seahawks Super Bowl would be entertaining.

I heard several people say that the Steelers have the best Defense in the NFL.

I dunno. :shrug:

Bleh

I'm so tired of hearing the media guys drool all over Wilson's dong that i change the channel whenever they start talking.

You’ve gotta have a dominant dl. Gotta be able to get pressure with 4. If you can’t do that you can’t beat kc

They can definitely rush the passer, which is huge if you're going to play Mahomes. People rip on Lamar, which yes it is an issue, but I think an equally big issue the Ravens have is they aren't elite rushing the passer. You just have to be able to do that in today's league with today's defensive rules and all the mobile QBs. So then you get what happened tonight, they're just blitzing left and right and getting roasted. There aren't many teams like the Niners and Steelers who can rush 4 and terrorize you.

Look at what the Chargers did last week. They got a fair amount of pressure and caused problems.

The Pats will probably give us a better game than the Ravens.

BB usually finds a way to trick Pat a few times and force him into mistakes.

jerryaldini 09-28-2020 10:25 PM

In a playoff game Belicheat can design a defense to contain us for a half. I think this is our year to finish them head to head with a Mahomes comeback

Jerok 09-28-2020 10:25 PM

Bills are great.

But I think Allen might be a mental midget like Big Truss and go crazy in a big playoff game.
