For years I rejected the thought that Denver is a house of horrors for us. Last year's regular season loss there changed my mind. I feel confident that if we're healthy, we can win anywhere, but not that f###### place. Not saying it's impossible, but it's GD unlikely.
LOL...strange things happen in Denver - fluky plays, bad calls, and untimely injuries. But objectively, a healthy Patriots team is formidable pretty much anywhere.
We took the Broncos to OT with our practice squad, and were one missed extra point away from doing it again in the AFCC game.
Still wouldn't wanna play them in denver.
Throwing away homefield. Let it get away in 2013 (Seattle would have beaten us anyways, too many injuries on offense) and stupidly threw it away last season.
Actually, I think positioning it this way is even more positive--it has an assumption of victory, and asks what could stop them?Why not a thread with a POSITIVE spin, a la "What factors are key to the Pats winning a championship this season?"
Injuries & turnovers @ key moments. Simple as that.
I pretty much agree with everything you posted. The same things as the last few seasons. IMOI'll let you fill in the blank. What do you feel is the greatest weakness of our team?
Through 5 games, I would say our great weakness is the secondary. Malcolm Butler has been playing through an injury (that hopefully doesn't worsen) and hasn't been his usual, explosive self. Logan Ryan has been fine for the most part, but can still be a little inconsistent. Same for Justin Coleman. And behind Ryan, Butler, and Coleman, I'm not sure how I feel about the depth at Cornerback.
Our game against Pittsburgh will be a true test for our pass defense.
Other potential weaknesses
1) The O-line
2) Lack of interior pass rush
3) Potential loss of health at key positions, especially on offense
