Playoff opponent analysis
Alright guys lets take off our homer hats and have a bit of a look at the potential matchups to come. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Also if you were the pats what would you do?
We can start off in the division round where we play Indy, Balt or Cincy. I'll start off with some initial thoughts.
Indy:
Strength: High powered offensively. Very explosive and diverse through the air and Luck out of the pocket is dangerous. Defensively they have very solid outside pass coverage and solid enough without being spectacular man coverage in the middle.
Weaknesses: obviously middle run d, luck can turn the. Ball over trying to make plays, abysmal running game.
Opportunities: if we can establish the run game like last time this will open up play action. They don't have the elite pass rush of some teams which helps. Attacking them through the middle is the key.
Threats: if they can man up against the run it will make moving the ball very tough. A slow start and a couple of early possessions for luck and this team can be dangerous.
I'll preface this with I think pats should be favourite in all games. But you can't ignore other playoff teams potential strength and our weaknesses and how they match up.
