Rodney thinks pats should be more comfortable playing SD who they have beaten in the playoffs and reg season recently than IND. Dungy thinks BB had an ulterior motive to remove brady from the 2 min drill in the end because he wants to go to indianapolis.He doesnt explain why brady played at all then .

They re-seed. I'd buy tanking a game to get a guaranteed opponent in the next round (a la the Jacksonville situation in 2005).

But if you try to do it for a 2nd round opponent, what happens if the 6 seed wins? They the 4 seed is off to play the 2 seed anyway. And you're brilliant plan goes up in smoke.

With all due respect to Rodney, I think the Pats might have a better chance of beating Indy. But I'm not that confident that we can beat either team. Lets see if our guys can get there first.

yeah .iamnot sure about the home game against the ravens either without welker.

Belichick doesn't think like that. He pulled Brady out for both 2 minute drils.

Belichick likely decided seeding was worth a shot but wasn't worth OT. I don't think he played for seeding, either, since facing Indy first likely meant facing SD after a potentially emotionally draining rematch. I think he played for consistent execution, which this offense needed regardless of who we face and particularly on the road, and after losing Welker he played for more game conditions reps with Brady and Edleman because those can't be replicated in practice or with Hoyer throwing to Edleman

Didn't we beat the Ravens already this year without Welker?

Welker played that game. He had 10 receptions.

All this talk about WRs. If this team does not learn how to run the ball, their chances of advancing in the playoffs are slim. They rely on the pass to much.

I think we run the ball pretty well!
WE have 4 good runners, not elite runners, but good, in Taylor Morris Faulk Maroney, all with different styles of playing
