Lets all marvel at the genius that is Pats59-1:
Kelce is not going to the Hall of Fame.
It's not relevant that if Brady has a good run game, to get to playaction, as the best playaction QB in NFL history, that it's not relevant to a zone D by Bob Sutton and one that could become overwhelmed by a balanced offense?
Are you aware your defense is worse than SDs and you plat a lot of zone?
Bob Sutton plays a lot of zone. Everyone knows this, apparently but you.
Against good offenses, your team plays a lot of zone.
"While both Justin Houston and Dee Ford are accomplished edge rushers, they are much worse comparatively against the run.
I have been reading this board all week and can't believe how much they are underrating the Pats potential in this game, which is very odd considering the match up advantages NE does have almost everywhere.
Kareem Hunt was an enormous loss for you. There's no denying it. Williams is a fine back, but he's not Hunt in terms of dynamics.
There are two ways to slow the KC offense:
1. Keep Mahomes on the bench with a run game and short passing game.
2. The Pats secondary is far better than you think and BETTER than what it was in October. You have no advantages in the passing game, man for man. Literally zero other than Hill when he'll likely face bracketed coverage on every down. And, the ball is harder to throw into man in that weather.
I also expect Reid to try to run the ball for this reason.
Man coverage, baby.
Man coverage.
Load the box and never leave Hill un-bracketed.
He's not a Hall of Famer. Then again, if Kurt Warner, Terrell Davis and Tony Dungy can get in, maybe he has a shot.
What homers you all are here.
I am not a homer at all. Brady was horrible earlier in the year in the red zone, for example. He's improved dramatically since avoiding staring down Gronk/Edleman/Gordon.
Gordon leaving the team has actually helped NE because Dorsett was all ready to go but they buried him behind the newly acquired Gordon. Ever since Dorsett got his job back and Brady has been targeting Dorsett and Hogan again, with a nasty run game, the results are what we saw last Sunday on our tv screens.
Brady can be his own worst enemy when he doesn't distribute the ball well. Now that he has been with results, it's right on there on the table.
He lost us SB 42 and SB 46 by ignoring a run game.
I am far from a homer.
Maybe you missed how NE ran their offense recently, or even last Sunday's dismantling of SD, even when SD tried to play man coverage.
They are not settling for 5 FGs again on Sunday, I can tell you that.
NE demolished Mahomes and Co in the first half of that game.
Yes, and mix and match with some blitzes. I would guess 80-90% man and maybe some zone in the red zone.
Good luck? They put on a clinic doing this in the first half in the October game.
Hunt and Hill scare the crap out of me, but guess what? That leaves on ONE guy you need to double and be truly fearful of.
NE has changed how they run their offense since then. I don't know why this is so confusing.
They're not throwing it 50+ times anymore. They're going to hammer it at Dee Ford all night with Mason and Cannon as two of the best run blockers in the league.
Brady targeted Gordon and Edelman 24/27 times in that game. Brady was horrible. That was a long time ago considering how the offense looks now. The more and more you hang onto what happened 2 or 3 months ago as a barometer for "on the road", the more beer you're going to be crying into on Sunday night.
BB will be telling them all week they haven't looked good on the road, while underdogs. Good luck with that!
I don't think Berry is healthy. Not sure he matters on that Achilles the way it is
What am I "looking up" exactly? Berry had an Achilles, no?
