I feel the same way. A part of me wants to say "we're going to smoke the Jaguars," but in all reality, they do have the offensive weapons it takes to make it a very close game and possibly an upset.
What offensive weapons are you talking about? If they can't run the ball effectively what will they turn to?
i would appreciate it a lot if the refs didn't steal another Superbowl from this team.
i could really go for that not happening.
I echo these same sentiments. if there is another garbage PI call I'm gonna lose it
Having lived in Boston most of my life and Tampa the past 4 years let me say this. New England has some of the most negative fans on the planet. In Boston misery is a way of life, we ain't happy unless we have something to complain about. 86 years of torture with the Red Sox and 42 years with the Pats will do that to you.
Having said that there is not a group of more intense or more knowledgeable fans in the country whether it is baseball or football. Boston IS the best sports town in America. These shyt kickers down in FL are johnny come latelys who think 10 years of losing means they have paid their dues.
Yeah thanks for 1996, we appreciated it. Too bad we are not Denver.
New England = Bad weather
Tampa= Fun in the sun
I think the game will be a blowout because Jax is not designed to score with us. People often overlook just how good against the run the Pats are. I have a lot of respect for the Jacksonville run game but the offense is one-dimensional. Everything is predicated upon establishing the run early. If Jacksonville doesn't win on first and second down, they are in a lot of trouble. New England plays the run as well as anyone, and I don't think Jacksonville will be able to dominate the LOS like they can other teams. Furthermore, New England defends the play action and deep balls as well as anyone. They rarely bite on play fakes.
Jacksonville will be forced into 3rd and 5, 3rd and 7 situations and forced to punt frequently. They lack the slot threat to convert over our linebackers in those situations.
Because of this, New England will have the ball more freqently than many think. We matchup extremely well against the Jacksonville secondary, especially when we force them into dime packages against 5-wide and 4-wide sets. The under routes will be carved up by the likes of Welker and Gaffney, setting up the Moss Balls. In addition, JAX is not overly active in persuit and I think there is a real opportinity for YAC stuff from Stallworth who is in my opinion the best after the catch guy I have ever seen.
I respect the Jags, but I just think that they do not matchup well against what we do. Indy, on the other hand is a totally different story...
I agree on the blow out. Jax doesn't have the fire power to keep up with the Pats.
Best QB is football.If I'm ever in a fight, I want Tommysgirl on my side.
