OT - Patriots, again- say it aint so Bill

[unterhausen]

the teams that have managed to consistently pressure Brady have done pretty well. Of course, most teams are afraid to do that.

[Bruce K]

Well, since the fun stuff didn’t work, the Pats are 3.5 point underdogs.

Their toad record this year has been mediocre at best, and piss poor at worst.

But would anyone be shocked if the win on Sunday? As big a fan as I am, I will be pleasantly surprised if they win but history has shown the Patriots to have an uncanny ability to figure out a way to win these games.

Brady is still chasing Mark Sanchez in career road playoff wins.

Methinks the Chiefs hold him off with explosive offense and good pass rushing.

Cold as h*ll Sunday, Gronk has V formation of that front line, NE running in top shape.

KC lost (don't beat up your girlfriend please) their big running weapon.

Funny my buddy works for the Charges, the move was ruff but LA fan base is growing.

He commutes to Orange County now so not much time for riding any more

I am with you - Gronk doesnt get the recognition he deserves - he is a very good blocking TE. He seals the end as good as anyone and clearly helped make Michels td's happen. The O line was repeatedly able to get a good push and should do the same against KC, who I think has the worst rushing D.
KC has decent linebackers who may rush Brady (no long balls) but watchout for Edelman (one tough dude) and White on the short passes.

Andy Reid is never going to have a run first mentality, but the Chiefs have showed no sign of slowing down in the run game since Hunt was cut. 180 yards on the ground last week - more than the Colts passed for.

Whatever fan growth they had going has certainly gone away after that humiliating defeat. They'll learn.

Excited to watch the Pats lose this weekend.

Brady is GOAT and everything, but its gonna be cold, and he's old.

He hasn't been missed. Running backs are plug & play these days. Look at how CJ Anderson did covering for Gurley.

[glepore]

Well, we'll certainly know what Mahones is made of.

Andy would love nothing better to get back at Mr Lobster Boat for the Superbowl he stole with spotters...but I digress ( yeah my dog got beat but they literally got to the divisional round with a 10th string guy in the secondary).

As successful as Reed has been as a coach, there's a reason he was run out of Philly, he has a ceiling and he chokes postseason

The Hoodie is a postseason genius

[biker72]

I really think the person to watch in this game is Julian Edelman. Not the biggest or fastest guy on the field he somehow gets open. If Edelman has a good game the Chiefs are in trouble.

[Climb01742]

Chiefs have better talent this year but I think it might come down to coaching. If Bill can pull out a defensive scheme, maybe Pats could win. And Andy hasn’t won a SB for a reason. If it’s players, KC. If it’s coaching, I’ll take Pats.
