Patriots Pregame Thread AFC Divisional: We're on to the Chargers (Beat LA!)

[TinhWoodhead]

I’ve got the Pats. Pats, Colts, Saints, and Cowboys. Would have went 4-0 this past weekend had I not changed my Seattle/Dallas pick at the last minute on Saturday and flipped to Seattle.

were you Sleepless about that decison?

Patriots' Tom Brady: ' I was up watching film all night' on Los Angeles Chargers

It's almost as if you haven't watched a single game all season.

McDouchy86 is just a troll. So is TennisBallHead.

This is not necessarily the game we wanted, but Chargers it is. I am hoping back-to-back weeks of travel to the east coast and cold weather (low 30s/high 20s) will help us. The Chargers are now 9-1 on the road, with their only loss being against the Rams, which really doesn't count as a road game. They are road warriors for sure. With that said, bring on Rivers!

Who did we want?

The Raiders

It will be a tough one. The biggest weakness the Chargers have is their offensive line. We need Flowers to be a monster.

Their biggest weakness is their head coach who played not to lose against the Ravens. It was embarrassing to give up two passing touchdowns to Lamar Jackson in the 4th quarter because they stopped playing defense and ran the ball on offense to kill the clock as compared to letting their elite QB pass for first downs and maintain possession.

Their second biggest weakness is their secondary which sucked against the worst passing attack in the NFL when it mattered most. Their third biggest weakness was their offensive line - the Ravens spent all afternoon in their backfield.

The Chargers obviously don't understand what it takes to win in the playoffs. Patriots 34, Chargers 14.

Maybe the Chargers suck, or, they were just nervous because Ray Lewis killed a guy.

Most of our playoff losses have been to the bad to mediocre QBs. I’d rather play Rivers than a guy like Dak Prescott lol.

In addition to that, when asked if he planned to watch Clemson, Bama tonight, he stated he had too much to do this week getting ready.
One thing we know, TB is a driven man. We'll not see the likes of him again.

I would imagine Gronk spending a lot of snaps blocking in this one...

The Chargers' secondary sucks. Lamar Jackson - two passing TDs. Gronk is going to spend a lot of time spiking the damn ball in the end zone.

That game sucked yesterday. The Chargers a) cannot complete a drive to save their lives, b) play not to lose, c) are about as imaginative on offense as Todd Bowles on sleeping pills. The Pats will score touchdowns while the Chargers will kick field goals - just like yesterday. They should have put the inept Ravens away in the first half. Instead they needed a 4th quarter interception to bail them out against the worst offense in the AFC.

So he went to bed at 8PM?

Phillip Rivers is 0-7 against Tom Brady.

Phillip Rivers should have sign around his neck that reads: "For Sale By Owner - For Information, Please Call Tom Brady at 1-800-PATRIOTS."

Pats by a million LFG!

 

[PatsFan2]

Patriots drafted Michel because he had shown the ability to catch the ball. This ability has not shown up in games.....It would be great to unleash a Michel out of the backfield in this game.

I think if the run game gets stifled Sony will be getting an early hook in favor of White and Burkhead. Would really like to see Sony develop that part of his game but that's best left for the off-season.

 

[DaBruinz]

Is this myth something that you just want to believe?? You’re wrong bruh. We have the second highest pressure rate among any playoff team left. Yeah, they could be better, but the facts are the facts. This is like your 3rd time seeing this lol.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I blocked @mcmurtry86 because I just got tired of his inability to accept facts already in evidence.

WOW.. Usually you have great things to say, but you are seriously putting way too much into the 2 passing TDs that Jackson got.

The Chargers Secondary is one of the best in the league. With Addae, Phillips, King, James, and Heyward, they have the ability to cover whomever we send out there.

People mentioning last year and talking about the RBs are ignoring what the Chargers did yesterday. They did a lot of blitzes on the RBs and hit them in the backfield a lot.

While I agree they played not to lose, do you think that their HC will make the same mistake two weeks in a row? I don't.

Brady is accustomed to cold weather having lived in Massachusetts for the past 19 years. Its not just going to snow, it’ll be 1-2 inches of it. I’ll never forget being 7 years old and watching us play the raiders and Brady scrambled and jumped into the end zone. I’ve never seen Rivers play in the snow but I’m guessing he’s not accustomed to it living in San Diego/LA.
