Offering my .02$ on NEP differences (from a New England PoV)
-Emergence of JC Jackson at CB. The guy is glue. It'll be he and JJ on Weeks the entire game. -Gronk is a blocker now -Losing Josh Gordon was tough but he ran a limited route tree here. In some respects, the offense is better without him. -Run D hs improved but still very average. -O Line is at a dominant level at both pass & run blocking -Devin McCourty playing much better -Overall pass defense has been outstanding for the last couple of months -Edelman back to who he was before the injury -Tom is Tom -Hightower is back to old Hightower |

Then again, wasn't that what we were told before the Greatest O-Line In NFL History took the field on Saturday? The Cheaters won't like our man-to-man coverage. NAMBLA Guy will want the run game and the dink & dunk, for sure. We'll focus on taking away the slant/flat game and that will be big. If we can also stop the run on 1st and 2nd downs, we'll be just fine. The other thing to remember is that NAMBLA Guy hates (I mean, hates) interior pressure. If #95 has a game and Sutton continues to scheme up some sweet stunts with Fiddy and #87, he will fold. Those hits in frigid weather hurt old bones. On the other side, I don't see how their defense can stop us with Sammy "Feets" Watkins in the game. They might not even slow us down much. FAX |

I had to edit the OP....the odds the Pats go with 0 penalties this game are slim and none. And I think slim just left......

Point well taken pete. But Brady has won 5 SBs and played in 8. This ain't his first rodeo however to dovetail into your point about "the pressure". Brady has watched this kid all year make these amazing plays and become not only the darling of the NFL Media but even more so the darling of the NFL fanbase and I think Brady has had enough of "Showtime". And what better motivation and a way to neutralize the pressure than to "steal this kid's lunch $$" right in his own house in front of his family" when everybody thinks that Brady and crew are over the hill now.

The thing is, motivation only goes so far. He's a 40-year old pocket QB. He was never that nimble and he's certainly not now.
He's not going to be able to WILL them to a win, no matter how badly he wants to. At the end of the day, it's going to depend on who wins more matchups on defense. |

They should have though. Did you look at the graphic?
Over the last half of the season they played the following passing offenses (in terms of efficiency): #2, #8, #12, #16, and then #25, #27, #31, and #28 twice. I mean for all of the talk about how terrible the Chiefs are, they've played an INFINITELY tougher 2nd half schedule than the Patriots. There isn't ANY green at all since the Rams game. |

Houston, Ford, and Jones just need to introduce the GOAT to the grass as many times as humanly possible in the first 2-3 series, Brady doesn't play nearly as well when he's getting his uniform dirty ! So Let's help him to the turf repeatedly !!! GO CHIEFS !

Need to add Dorian O’Daniel. He didn’t play last time. Pats like those RB passes in the flat and this guy was made to defend those.

My only point is the pass D for NE has much improved over the year Note I didn't say anything about the Chiefs D. Just the NEP. |
