Since so much of his analysis depends on conventional wisdom, and the Patriots have kind of made their business to be blowing conventional wisdom out of the water, I don't put much stock in this.
It's also worth noting that Green completely fails to mention Welker, only dropping his name once in passing. When the Jags figure out how to cover him, I might get kinda worried. An analysis of how to beat the Pats that doesn't even address stopping the passing attack beyond to say that the goal should be to keep them off the field is just ******ed.
The last two paragraphs are my favorite:
He had to try really hard to talk himself into that one, but he managed to do it. Seriously, how can you outright pick a team while also acknowledging that the only way they can win is to have a better gameplan (against BB), play your absolute best, run the ball well, pass at a high percentage, win the turnover battle, AND do better on special teams? He makes the declaration that the Jags will win then justifies it with the same old, tired, "on any given Sunday, anything CAN happen" bull****. Once again, just another mediot hoping that he can strike gold by happening, through sheer, random chance, to predict the end to the Pats' perfection.
