They're still the Patriots, of 8 straight AFC Championship games. Of 5 SB rings. Coached by Belichick, the best coach in history. QB'd by Tom Brady, the greatest of all time. Yes, their age of dominance is nearing it's end. Yes, there are chinks in the armor. They will be ready, they are so experienced it's ridiculous. They'll be focused, and we'll get their best shot.
That being said, Reid is a great offensive coach with the next generational QB talent in place. And with the changes in defensive personnel, it appears that side of the ball is ready to carry their share of the load. IF they're for real, we'll win this game handily. IF they're not, I think we could lose a squeaker shoot-out.
I think they're for real, and we win big. The torch is passed.
