Hopefully we hurt Brady enough to effect today's outcome.

I don't think KC has a chance to win today, but I'm rooting for them.

 

I'm thinking KC may have a chance.
It all depends how Gronk and Edelman can play plus the Chiefs are hot.

 

Too easy. If Chiefs don't score on this drive the game is over.

 

Based on the first drive, it looks like Gronk, Edelman, and Brady are feeling just fine.

It is extremely difficult for any team to go into the Patriots home stadium and win during the playoffs. They aren't 14-1 in the playoffs at home because the are lucky.

Unfortunately I think the Patriots will end up in the Super Bowl even if they have to go to Denver next week.

 

Go Chiefs. Just a few more years of Brady guys.

 

Good drive so far Cheifs. Get 7

 

Great awareness by Tom Brady to get out of the pocket and run when needed. As slow and unathletic as he is even he can run out of the pocket when needed. SMDH

 

The pats got this. The refs are giving the pats calls.

 

Pats are going to the Super Bowl. They face a broken Steeler team or a overrated Denver team

 

Welp, just a few more years of Tom.

 

They kicked a field goal to go up 14, and Brady is pissed as all hell.

 

Chiefs have a shot if they can get a quick score. Thats about it.

 

That looks like two feet I'd challenge that if it wasn't ruled a fumble (son is napping so I have the sound off)

 

Lol at these idiot Patriots celebrating the INT when it was 4th down?

 

after watching that - we got our work cut out for us if we ever hope to unseed New England. I wonder though because we did beat them the last game of the year. Screwed them really because if Denver wins they travel

 

We've split with them 3 years in a row now.

 

You could see half-way through the regular season that the Patriots were going back to the Super Bowl. They are the AFC's default team and by late November the AFC was choking it away across the board.

Alex Smith isn't winning a Championship for anyone. The Steelers defense is garbage and with injuries they aren't even half a team. The Colts are suspect and without Luck couldn't even win the worst division in football. Even if you believe in Andy Dalton, his injury killed the Bengals. The Ravens and Chargers are both a shell of their former selves--two of the worst teams going. While the Jets looked solid, they have no one to blame but themselves for not being in the Play-offs. With Peyton Manning playing on his last legs in Denver, you have to believe that whatever the Patriots are, it's head and shoulder better than the rest of the AFC.


You knew going into December that New England was going back to the Super Bowl. The only question is will they get enough breaks to actually win when they get there.

 

Old age will ultimately force Brady to retire (some day in the future.. and dammit it looks too far in the future!). Until then.. yeah it sucks!

 

My money's on Brady. Do you really think most decent QB's can execute like he does in Belichick's system? Well who knows.. we'll find out someday. I really do NOT want Belichick to break Shula's win record!!

 

Yup. That's the only problem with the "It's Brady not Belichick" theory. On the other hand, Belichick never did well without Brady other than that one year with Cassell. We'll see!

 

Well, there's the systemic cheating.

 

Yeah, but NE doesn't have the success they do without a QB that can execute really well. So while the Cassell comment is fine, I'd still like to see a QB succeed anywhere like Brady over many years under Belichick's system. I just see so many plays Brady makes that I gotta see to believe it's more Belichick than Brady. Belichick's definitely good though (at cheating too, as you point out haha!)

 

Its the cheating.

Brady was a 6th round no one. Belichick was failure nobody.

Then, all of a sudden, they just start winning. Doesn't matter who the coordinators are. Doesn't matter if the defense is good. Doesn't matter of the offensive skill players are good. They just keep winning. They get caught cheating multiple times. They are accused of cheating in even more ways then the ways they've been caught.

And we just accept, they are great. I mean, people (not even Pats fans) just dismiss the cheating as if its nothing and then just marvel at this greatness that literally came from nowhere.

Its insane. If this was poker in the wild west, there'd be a smoking hole in the back of Belichick's hoodie.

 

Yeah not saying that's definitely not the case.. it's possible. Good thing is the different theories predict different outcomes so they can be tested. Once Brady retires, we'll see what happens. If Belichick's ability and/or his cheating is really what's behind this, Belichick should continue to have great success. If it's Brady, NE should become at best average (Belichick is a good coach IMO so I don't think they'll tank). We'll see!

 

We have said that since their third ring lol

 

Sixth round no one? You clearly did not watch Brady's Michigan career. He didnt get the nickname "the comeback kid" being a nobody at college. The guy was always poised and accurate, justdidnt have the arm strength or athletic ability to get a high grade.

How do you explain Tony Romo's success? Is Zach Thomas success based on cheating too?

 

But he's 38 now. He will retire soon.
