Since that game the Pats have evolved into a running football team. They finished the regular season 2nd only to Seattle in rushing attempts and 1st in handoffs to a running back.

NE ran the ball 38 times that night and Michel/White went for 145 on 30 carries. So there's really no difference as it pertains to this matchup.

They've played commensurate to their level of competition. If you want to come out and say the Pats defense is GOOD, be my guest. You won't hurt my feelings. But you'd be wrong. |

I think the NE matchup, for the Chiefs, was the harder of the two between them and the Chargers. Yes, the Chargers are talented. Yes, they won in Arrowhead. The simple fact is that the Chargers have no character. No actual "soul". They're a paper team and their QB is a paper tiger. They've been dominated by the Chiefs just like they've been dominated by the Patriots in the postseason. THIS game, against New England, is the way it should be. If they Chiefs win, they beat the GOAT, they beat THE dynasty. New England is the best team in the AFC until somebody proves otherwise. That happens on Sunday. |

I think the only real differences between us now and in October are, Gordon is gone, our running game has evolved somewhat, and our defense is playing a little more consistently.
Gordon being gone is a big loss. He finally was fully integrated into the offense right before he went off the reservation again. He wasn’t what he was in 2013 but he was our only deep threat and definitely helped open things up underneath for Edelman and the backs in space. The running game has been better mainly due to the O-line. There was a goal line TD against the Chargers where everyone one of their D-lineman were pushed into the end zone. If we can win in the trenches I think it will go along way to neutralizing the pass rush that the Chiefs have. As far as that pass rush goes, I know Chris Jones is an all world pass rusher on the interior but I’ve heard he’s a liability against the run? What are everyone’s thoughts on that? As for the defense we still don’t have a great pass rush but we have been getting a little more pressure as of late. Some well timed blitzes and a good secondary have definitely helped us over the last month or so. All that goes out the window if Hill is parting our double teams like the Red Sea. I’m assuming Bill will do whatever he can to take away Hill or Kelce and hoot the other one doesn’t kill us but I really have no idea how. My guess would be JC Jackson on Hill with safety help over the top and chipping Kelce on every play with Chung in coverage. Basically it’s pick your poison and I just hope not to see any peace signs. |

That Develin guy, he might be the best blocking fullback in the business. Not sure how Sherman made the all-pro over him, Sherman barely played! |

Chris Jones is a liability against the run, you heard right. It's because he's shooting up the field on every play. And while that in theory sounds good, it cuts both ways. It completely cancels out the whole idea that you can slow down the pass rush by running the ball. Our defense, especially Jones and a little bit Ford, don't play the run so much as they just shoot up field. Running the ball isn't going to the change that, so it's not like you can pound the rock and get them to stop and think about it. They basically play every down like it's a pass, which gets them gashed in the run game but creates havoc on pass plays. Does that make sense? |

By the same criteria you have a similar assessment of the Chiefs' defense? |

That being said, over the last half of the season, the level of competition (in terms of pass efficiency of the opposing offenses) isn't close to comparable. The Patriots have played against 4 of the 5 worst passing offenses in the league. Kansas City hasn't played ANYBODY below #17. |
