The guys at Fox were talking about playing with the pressure of being undefeated. Terry Bradshaw thinks the playoffs will actually be easier for the Patriots pressure wise because it's a one and done situation that both teams face. In the regular season the Pats have had a bullseye on their back with every team and the pressure was on them to succeed and to win week in and week out regardless of their opponent/their energy level, etc. But in the playoffs the task at hand is clear for the Patriots, the motivation is not a question for them at all and their opponents face the same one and done pressure.
As a fan I agree with him. As a fan now that the playoffs are here the undefeated record is not my focus at all anymore. It has been the focus for several weeks now but not anymore.
It's all about making the Super Bowl and I think the players feel the same way.
The undefeated record and the pressure that comes with it will intensify 100% once we make the Super Bowl but for now I do agree with TB.
In a weird way the playoffs will be an easier pressure for the Patriots.
