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

And they leave those players home when they go on the road?

Gotta look at each individual game.

Seems like the Patriots are far better at home than on the road. Do you leave some guys at home? Or do you think that it's possible that a team can perform differently at home. Because some pretty ****ty teams **** slapped you on the road.

Don’t even bother trying to discuss things with some of the homers here. The doublethink is endemic.

When you played the 49ers they were 1-2.

Actually we are both wrong. They were 1-1 when we played them. I remembered they were our home opener, but I forgot we played 2 road games before our first home game. I thought they were 1-0.

Maybe he confused the KC/49ers matchup with when the Pats lost to the undefeated and then highly regarded Jaguars.

It’s so funny. Kc fan comes here to argue for his team and gets so bent out of shape his stats fall to sbit. They are a good team but don’t fudge numbers to make them more than they are. They really only played two good teams at home. The ravens and the chargers, both closes games, they lost one.

How many good teams did the Pats play on the road and what was their record?

Really, it was only one good team and that was the Chargers. The Ravens were god awful and one dimensional.

But whatever tis is the time when all those trolls show up trying to show off their flashy toys and how much better they are. Every year the same comedy.

Bent out of shape? LOL.

1-2 included the chiefs games. They weren’t undefeated and not sure they were highly regarded.

If the Pats lose, which they probably will, it’ll be interesting to read all of the post-hoc rationalization by all of the posters here who are unceasingly dismissive of the Chiefs.

And if the win I’ll gladly eat crow and pick them to win the Super Bowl because a win here would be incredibly and undeniably impressive.

How very bold of you.

It kind of makes the chiefs look worse to almost lose to a godawful team. They are a good team but I think we may be able to get this game. Our team seems so focused and pissed off right now.

The Pats need to prove that they can win a tough game on the road. The onus is on them to prove the doubters wrong.

I am not so sure that it would be that impressive if the Patriots beat KC. First, I think this is a pickem game. It all depends on which Patriots team shows up. Second, the Chiefs really only have 2 guys that must be stopped. Kelce and Hill. The RB is decent, but he isn't Hunt.

The OL of the Chiefs is meh and their defense has serious flaws. The Patriots match up pretty well, if they can stop the run and the DL plays well enough.

The Chiefs almost lost to a godawful team. Meanwhile the Pats DID lose to multiple godawful teams.

Bears, Titans, Steelers? So 1-2? If you are counting only playoff teams as "good", then 1-0. 3-0 at home against playoff teams.

But they did beat the Chiefs......

 

[VectorPrime]

By the skin of their teeth at home.

Not just lost. Lost by:

11 to the Jags
16 to the Lions
24 to the Titans

And a complete no show by the offense in Pittsburgh and by the defense in Miami.
