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

[Belichick8384]

If we can run on them. We will win.

Oh of course. Anytime we can get a good running game going is a good chance to win. Against the Chargers, it would end up being the nail in the coffin by the end...

Are we sure Trey isn’t somehow related to BB?
We’re gonna win Sunday.

It will feel like 10am for chargers next Sunday. Best start time possible. Chargers were pretty sluggish on offense and didn't have to deal with an outstanding QB with a full playbook. Travel time+ jet lag + no LA warmth. If it's snowing and 28 degrees on Sunday morning I bet Gordon's knees feel an impact and I bet it lessens their excitement a bit.

I won on madden but it was a close one. I had to come back in the 4th quarter. Running with Michel kept them off balance.

TELL ME HOW IT ENDS. I'M ON PINS AND NEEDLES OVER HERE.

And how is it 14-10 Pats...when it was 14-10 Chargers at half time?

Must be some kind of amazing game....

No it was 14-7 chargers. Fg as time expired in the first half made it 14-10 chargers. Michel run made it 16-14 pats because the xp was missed. Hunter Henry went off. Outrunning Hightower for a 75 yard td. Then Edelman fumbled the ball and the chargers recovered but the defense held them to a fg. James White ran a wheel and Brady found him for a td but the 2 point to tie failed. Chargers were forced to punt and then it was 24-22 and Michel broke 2 tackles and ran it in. 24-29. Chargers fumbled ensuing kickoff and pats kneeled twice. Game. That’s my madden simulation, maybe it’s completely different.

Nah... those are always SPOT ON.

I don't think anyone could top Fred from Dartmouth.

I remember the name, but can't recall anything of how he posted.
But. ..NEM?

I like Gilmore on Keenan. Allen is a top WR but isn't typically a deep threat. Gilmore's game is suited to match the toughness and saviness of Keenan's intermediate prowess.

Provided JC can handle Williams( I think he'll hold his own), then that's ideal for the Pats to put maybe the nfls best cb on Allen.

Yup

 

[RobertWeathers]

I don't trust those ratings systems at all.

 

[Wheelman]

Chargers fans are pretty confident. Guess they don't care that Spanos stuck to them and moved to LA.

 

[Belichick8384]

Both fanbases seem pretty confident. Doesn't really mean much. We just observe. Like always, I'm sure both the actual teams are confident. We will just see who wants it more. I'm glad we have players like Brady who have a passion for this sport. Would hate to have Cutlers and OBJs going out there to play. We wouldn't stand a chance lol

Limited snaps (didn't say how many). 8 months from ACL with no game action. Hard to believe he will be a factor if he plays at all.

He probably could have played against the Ravens but given the physicality of their defense it made sense to keep him out and give him some more time to get in some reps and recovery time.

Should be quite a matchup.
