ESPN article: Playoff teams fatal flaws

[sb1]

Interesting article. Talks about each playoff contending team’s fatal flaw and the team to avoid in the playoffs meaning that can best exploit that weakness.

Biggest weaknesses, playoff teams to avoid for NFL Super Bowl contenders: Flaws for the Bucs, Patriots, Chiefs, Packers, more

How can Tom Brady and the Bucs be slowed down? It's a familiar formula. The Patriots, meanwhile, have first-quarter issues.

Ours is “the first quarter” we’re not a good first quarter team this year and the team to avoid is the Chiefs (and Bucs too) because they are great first quarter teams.

Hard to argue with that.

For one team the flaw won’t be fatal.

For one team the flaw won’t be fatal.

The first Super Bowl that is so bad that both teams are forced to forfeit.

Pats fatal flaws:

- RunD, specifically Godchaux and Bentley.
- Lack of bench man-cover DBs if another body goes down.
- oc going away from power-run 12 personnel in favor of crappy red-zone-inept spread shotgun.

Hard to argue with that.

Bills weaknesses
1. can't stop the run on defense
2. can't run on offence
3. local weather, fans and coach are blow hards

3. local weather, fans and coach are blow hards

Surely you aren't talking about the 2-time "Best Fans In the NFL"!

I would add the punting unit to our weaknesses
