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

[Redman443]

Despite our woes on defense, bill is a genius when it comes to taking away another team’s best player. Mahomes will be the MVP. It’s going to be fun. We took away Marshall Faulk and Julio Jones. Bill has a plan, plus Remember that we’re used to being here and mahomes has never been on this stage before.

Might want to check your math.

Whoops... or at least watch my fingers when I type. Stupid touch screen phones

Win one for the Gronk.

If Gronk is calling it quits, he simply must go out a World Champion. There is no other ending.. Gronks final game cannot end in defeat in Missouri or Georgia. The story of Gronk cannot end that way.

did anyone notice what trent brown did to joey bosa? spanked him like a bad monkey

If we do the same to Jones, Ford and Houston we will win.

those guys get to the QB more often, but their defense ...... worst in the league in giving up 1st downs on 1st and 2nd down and near the bottom on 3rd down

Crisis averted

We would have had to put our offense together with duct tape like the 2013 afccg

I suspect his plan is going to be to run the ball and keep Mahomes on the sideline. There is no better way to beat Mahomes. I honestly am hoping for a low scoring 20-13 NE win rather than a shootout. You can put Gilmore on Tyreek Hill with some help over the top. Chung on Kelce. JC Jackson on Watkins.

What Pats team will show up in KC? At home, the Pats D appears dominant. On the road, they make the even the worst offenses look great. Can they put it together for a AFCGC at KC?

The fastest guy will need to be on Hill with a safety shadowing him over the top. He has burned us a lot.

Run... the... football. The Colts abandoned that wayyy too early and were having success when they did so. Run the ball, get into short yardage situations on second and third down, and win the T.O.P. game within the game.

So who do you think wins this week?

BB will have a game plan for him.
My bet is it will be like the 2001 Rams playbook whereever Hill goes he will be hit at the line if he blocks coming out of his break jammed and then jammed by a second player never getting a comfortable release.
They can't let him get free release or we are done.
I would spy Kyle Van Noy on Mahommes for duration of the game.
Don't let him roll to his left don't let him beat you with his feet.
If the Patriots can limit to running game then that game plan can work.
Hitting Hill early and often is a must just like Belichick did with Faulk.
He makes that offense go.

 

[Redman443]

We don’t necessarily need to shut down the KC offense. Just need to avoid getting burned by tyreek hill. Need to avoid the big plays and we need to get the crowd out of it.

Should we go to a silent count?

Map's wrong. At least half of CT and perhaps part of VT should be colored red.

 

[bigballas]

after much thought, i think the only fair stakes for this match up is in fact not only a berth to the super bowl BUT....when Tommy goes in there and masterfully dismantles the Chiefs and hoists the AFC championship trophy, the title gets replaced with the tom brady AFC invitiational trophy in front of the the chiefs fans

 

[Love The Drake]

Should we go to a silent count?

Yes

 

[Kontradiction]

So who do you think wins this week?

If the mistake-laden team that we've seen on the road all season aside from the Chicago game shows up... KC. If not then New England. With the news coming out over the weekend that Brady's been playing hurt, I'd have to think he'll torch that secondary. The question remains if they're going to match us score for score or gouge us on the ground for extended drives.
