You have no Chance!! One guy had a chart of the reaction times of their D-Line and our O-line. Cumon it's football.

Look it's a 3 point spread. It should be a close game. All these bullcrap stats mean nothing. Edelman drops a punt or Mahomes throws a pick six who knows.

Ahhhhhhh nevermind.

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.

Yeah, no other team has ever done that to the Pats, cough, cough Seattle in Arizona before the SB.

Here come the fearful defeatist excuses.

It's easier to play man if you are facing a weak QB or a one dimensional offense.

Bob Sutton plays a lot of zone. Everyone knows this, apparently but you. This year, sure KC played a lot more man than usual. I am talking about what Sutton has traditionally done and what he has succumbed to as NE has shredded his Ds in the past.

And, if you double Edelman in man, guess who is wide open up the seam in single man?

Keep proving yourself to be a fool.

Are you denying NE offenses usually shred Bob Sutton Ds?

Way to go BostonHardon.

My point? My point was that they are always a different team. Look I don't watch all the KC games and you obviously don't watch the Pats. The loss to Jax was blowout crap loss. They lost to Miami on a freak play and lost to the Steelers because Brady missed an open guy in the end zone. I simply believe that they are a better team now then they were at the beginning of the season.

Furthermore, if you look at 2016 and 2017, there are simply no games where the Patriots "mailed it in".

What's special about this year? Less talent on offense (for a variety of reasons) means they need perfect execution on offense to be their usual self, which is lots easier at home.

Didn't you hear? Teams that KICK ASS for 18 years get bored! Not in year 10, not in year 16 or 17. It happens in year 18!!

How can they type this shit with a straight face...

Why did NE put up 43 points?

Discuss:

Why did KC put up 40?

Discuss:

(Remember, next game is at Arrowhead)

His completion rate is solid (57 percent) but his 8-to-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio is mediocre and his overall passer rating on the road (75.9) is nowhere close to what we would expect from a five-time Super Bowl champion quarterback who has produced passer ratings of 93.1 at home and 98.0 on neutral fields.


HFA doesn't matter though...

First of all, a 57% completion rate for Tom is sub-standard. Hes in the mid to high 60%s. As ive said this team has had a weird year on the road.

For his career, Tom is 98% Qb rating at home and 96% on the road. Not a big deal.

How is it wrong? You played a ton of man this year, in particular at home because you played god awful offenses with awful QBs.

Here is who you played at home:

Arizona, SF, Cincy, Baltimore...Look at those offenses. Doesn't even count Denver and Oakland.

Are you honestly pretending those offense are similar to what NE put out last week?

If you play more man like you have all year, Dee Ford and Justin Houston are going to watch Michel, White and Burkhead, with some Cordarelle Patterson whiz right by them all night long.

If you stack the box to come and take out Michel, vs the Run, Brady will get the ball out like he did vs SD last week.

Your liabilities are at MLB and Safety.

Reggie Ragland is dumber than a bag of rocks as is Speaks. Brady feasts on low IQ players like that. NE is healthy and ready for the power game, and Edelman is light years healthier than he was in October, too.

That's not even counting NE's very good blocking WRs.
