Chargers zone defense was a terrible match-up against "dink and dunk" Brady...Alex Smith was 8-0 against the Chargers too..
This is, IMO, the weakest iteration of a NE team in years going against the best version of the Chiefs in decades. Mahomes is better than Brady this season...like it or not.
"You're not in Foxborough anymore" would be a great banner for the game...

I mentioned the Chargers game as a recent point of reference that the Pats handled fairly easily a playoff team on both sides of the ball.
True the Chargers only lead at the end against KC, but I think some fans would agree, namely Chargers fans, that on KC's last drive it might of got some home cooking from the refs, or they loose by 7 not 1 to the Chargers.
Either way, agree it is just a single opponent.
We can not beat Miami and have tough times winning there as we do in Denver. Brady coughed up a fir ball in the first half and missed an opportunity for chip shot FG that would of had us up 8 at the end of the game. Yes it was one play for them to win at the end, but we did a lot of things not right and lost the game. We also looked stupid and not impressive in a few other games.
Time will tell if KC is just like Miami and Denver for the Pats.
Yes I really wish the game was in Foxboro as i would have a lot more confidence in the win. Also, Mahomes played solid on Saturday and did not dropped off from the regular season, so that is a concern for the Pats and their fans.
Yes it is one of our weakest variants in this decade against the best version of the Chiefs in a while. And yes Mahomes has had a better season than Brady, and played solid on Saturday. Altho, over this past weekend, not sure if one can say the gap is a wide as the regular season.
A few things going in the Pats favor is our health (of our three past playoff road loses we have had some key injures), and frankly have nothing to loose and likely will play loose. We will see how this translates on Sunday.
