Patriots Pregame Thread AFC Championship: We are on to Kansas City!

Would it make sense to put Gilmore on Kelce? I think you need safety help with Tyreek Hill no matter what. Would Gilmore shut down Kelce, who is just a big WR?

How can anyone watch the game today and not conclude TB12 is the greatest ever to play? No other QB in history could have mastered that defense and dominated with those caliber receivers. I know the running game helped, but those reads and passes were otherworldly. Forty-one.

Does anyone here doubt that at some point this week, the team watched all the talking heads doubting them?

Patriots saw it. They are angry. I love it.

How do we counteract the chiefs playing man to man coverage.

 

[Brandon Manning]

Do you think we have a better shot at winning this one compared to the 2013 game in Denver?

James White & Sony Michel. Play the screen game.

I mean to be objective here, He did have a lot of easy throws. Guys were wide open

I was worried about the 13 and 15 AFCCG in Denver much more than I am on Sunday. Odd.

In Pittsburgh last year we got it to gronk a lot. Not sure if that’s a effective strategy

That throw to Edelman was the best one. There quite a few lasers, but that one over the middle was just disgusting.

Better this time due to no altitude issues. Denver is a bad place to play because of that.

This team as currently constituted has a better chance than the 13 team yes. But less of a chance than the 15 team.

Also that Denver defense and this KC defense could not be much different.

It looks like Brady is playing healthy and it showed in his mechanics and accuracy today. There were some throws that were just pinpoint and the speed and trajectory was just perfect.

Edelman’s double move.
Dorsett’s TD.

The line also played really well. If Brady has time, then I don’t see why we can’t win.

 

[Froob]

How do we cover Tyreke this time? First two times we failed badly of course. If you stumble, he’s gone. Underrated route runner, guy really is a top five receiver in this league.

MUCH Better.

I think its the attitude. In 15, Patriots were clearly falling apart. Right now, Brady and company are absolutely wanting to shut people up. I love Brady when angry. You almost feel tempted to say: "We aint losing.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

MUCH Better.

Agree, however our attitude imo is key here. We look extra motivated right now.

Mahomes needs to be hit. Hard. Not a lot of fun being levelled in 10 degree cold.
