Home and road schedules only count when talking about the superior New England Patriots. Unless they show New England to be inferior, then they don't count. [Reply]

Interestingly enough KC is one of the few teams that average more ypp and a higher passer rating on the road than at home. Averaging 8.9 and 121.4 respectively on the road, both easily league best.
Those numbers don't look bad at all for us on the road, given our terrible performance in September. I thought the September numbers would skew our season totals much more than that. They've gotten better each week, and culminated in a masterful pass defense performance in our final road game of the season vs PIT.
Hilariously, our pass defense stats on the road are better than yours at home, according to what you posted. [Reply]
Wait till Andy breaks out the 3 TE package, Kelce, Harris and Benjamin with Williams running. Do I go heavy to stop the run formation or do I stay base to cover Hill Hill on the jet motion to the weak side.... [Reply]

Because KC is going to run the exact same offense that they did in Week 6. And if you don't think Damian Williams can catch a wheel route running down wide open down the sideline then you're more ignorant of football than I previously thought. [Reply]

The Titans and Dolphins both put up 30+ points on you in November and December, respectively. Shut the **** up with your stupid narrative that the Patriots defense only played bad in September. [Reply]

Your last 4 games of the year were against MIA, PIT, BUF, and NYJ. Those are the 18th, 13th, 32nd and 30th rated passing attacks.
Congrats...
Just realized that 3 of those 4 teams are your divisional foes. You play them twice a year... [Reply]

Umm, I am not from NC. Wow. I am 5 mins from Duke's campus however, you know, where really smart people go to school to better themselves and where a lot of medical professionals work. lmao
Reading comprehension, people! Holy mackerel.
If you actually left Kansas, ya might get some culture. Check it out some time. You can travel by car or maybe even by train. They have these things called planes, too!

bawahah
Ugh.
:-) Thanks for telling me that you are in fact insecure about where you're from. "I live near Duke. Smart people go there." That would be like bragging about living near Harvard or Princeton. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
