I actually feel more confident about us beating anyone this year than I ever did. For once we are going into the playoffs relatively healthy.
our main receivers are all healthy: Gronkowski, Edelman, Lafell
and not to mention, our defense is the best it has been in years and is getting healthy at the right time. This year has shown me that the patriots can win games in more than one way. and can win games when brady doesnt play perfect because of their defense/special teams.
we will see the true value of this defense in the playoffs when the refs put their whistles away and let us play agressive.
One of the biggest differences, IMO, has been the play of Stork. He has given up .5 of a sack all season long. Last year Wendell gave up 4, solo. We have seen a marked difference in how rushers have attacked the line.
Brady can handle any rushes as long as he knows he can step up in the pocket. Any rush coming headlong has always been his achilles heel.
