Do you want a Blowout or Great Game?
Pessimist.I want it 21-3 @ halftime, (Patriots 21, obv) 28-10 3rd Q, 42-20 final.
Seems doable, right?
Disagree. It's been a long season, let the players have a week to heal so we can see them at their best. Or at the best they can be in the nineteenth (or possibly twentieth, for wild card teams) game of the season.I just wish the game was today. The NFL should get rid of the bye week before the SB.
it can also make them rusteee... they already had a byeDisagree. It's been a long season, let the players have a week to heal so we can see them at their best. Or at the best they can be in the nineteenth (or possibly twentieth, for wild card teams) game of the season.
good teams make runs/comebacks, im assuming 20 pts with a late garbage tdPessimist.
21-3 @ halftime is ok. but why do you want the Pats to fall apart in tehe second half?
35-6 third quarter.
42-10 final.
Exactly. I'm trying to be realistic, so I allowed them a frantic rally in the 4th, a TD & fg. Note that we score 2 TD's in the 4th though....good teams make runs/comebacks, im assuming 20 pts with a late garbage td
Mortician..Or a hater...
...in a nutshell....Flawed premise.
I want to see a great game that is a blowout.
I want to see the Patriots play a great game, near-perfect on both sides of the ball against a worthy opponent that simply gets out-executed on every play.
I want to see the O line give Brady in a clean pocket whenever he drops back to throw, and open huge running lanes for Blount, Lewis and White whenever they carry the ball. I want to see Brady make more plays like the "Jordan Jordan Jordan" audible, reading the Falcons defense like a child's book and shredding them like paper. I want to see Marty and Hogsn and Jules and Dola and Mitchell and even Floyd show their ability to read the coverages from that same page as Brady and have a field day.
On the defensive side of the ball I want to see the front read and react so when Ryan drops back to pass he is pressured and contained, and when it's a run there are no open holes, with Chung doing his usual great run support. I want to see Julio doubled successfully while Ryan shuts down his college roommate Sanu and Butler or Rowe, whichever one isn't covering Jones, blankets Gabriel while the LBs handle the backs and TE.
I want to see Ghost and Allen at their usual level of excellence, Slater and Ebner showing how good gunners can be, and whoever is back to receive kicks and punts getting some running room for good return yardage.
In short I want to see the Patriots play as well as we know they can, so that on Monday after the game the mediots are all saying the Patriots still have not been tested, despite the Falcons having fought hard and played well.
Seriously?
Next question : would you prefer to make $1M a year or $50K.
