Patrick Mahomes vs. Tom Brady: Why the kid beats the G.O.A.T.
By Adam Schein
NFL.com Columnist
Championship Sunday is set, and it's a gift from the sports gods.
The Los Angeles Rams are heading to the Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints in the opener. Then the New England Patriots will visit Arrowhead to face the Kansas City Chiefs. We love offense, and we have the top four scoring attacks from the regular season in the NFL's final four. As a football fan, it doesn't get any juicier. Two high-powered attacks and sensational play-callers in the NFC. The greatest dynasty in sports history taking the show on the road to K.C. for the first-ever AFC title game in that football-rich city. Bill Belichick vs. Andy Reid. Wow.
[B]But there's one storyline that is beyond sizzling. There's one matchup that takes the cake on Championship Sunday.
The G.O.A.T. vs. The Kid. The best to ever do it going against the best to do it this season. Tom Brady taking on Patrick Mahomes, with a trip to Atlanta on the line.
And wouldn't it be absolutely perfect and poetic for the 2018 campaign if Mahomes were to beat Brady and punch the Chiefs' ticket to Super Bowl LIII? Why would anyone put it past the MVP front-runner? I wouldn't. I won't.
Patrick Mahomes is beating Tom Brady. A passing of the torch, if you will....
This is all icing for me... I hope the players don't feel the same. It's going to be bone wrenching cold, the kind of cold that people talk about for years... [Reply]

NFL has been promoting the fuck out of Mahomes all year as the next big thing. They WANT him on the biggest stage at the Super Bowl. Either Rams vs. Chiefs rematch (highest rated game of the year) or Pat vs. Drew (MVP clash).
NFL and the refs won't be doing the Pats any favors this time. If anything, KC is more likely to get the benefit of the doubt on calls . . . . [Reply]
Should be a great game Sunday. The pats will need to run the ball effectively and control that clock if they want to win. Can’t get behind early [Reply]

I'll allow the Pats to win on Saturday. Sunday is our day! [Reply]

Patriots Fatigue has been around since 2004 [Reply]

Apparently the Patriots are REALLY deep in your head.
It's like the spygate stuff, use it for information for when you play a team the 2nd time around, or even the 2nd half of a football game.
I personally didn't think the spygate deal was any big deal. But it does show Belichik valued surveillance. We already know Belichik has something going on with the coach to QB communication system.
Doug Flutie, claimed that he uncovered something very interesting regarding Brady’s radio helmet during the 2005 season.
"He was amazed that the coaches kept right on speaking to Brady past the 15-second cutoff, right up until the snap. The voice in Tom Brady’s helmet was explaining the exact defense he was about to face.”
Ted Johnson claimed that an hour before game time, a list of the opposing team’s audibles — the signals a QB would use at the line of scrimmage just before a snap to change the play — would sometimes appear in his locker. He had no idea where the lists came from.
Look at the defensive ranking at home vs away. Then consider that Patricia, and only Patricia, being the 1 coordinator in the NFL who knew all the opposing offensive lines rules and protection calls, and it all adds up. [Reply]
