Go jumbo, run it down their throats and Bonito will be looking at Campbell from the sidelines.
 
Not just 2nd weakest this year - 7th weakest schedule all time. Yes, we're 3rd but the lack of mentioning that feels like such an oversight in service of headlines.
Agreed. And while they only had one home loss, they could have had more. Buffalo should have won with 5 turnovers. Giants game. Tennesse kept it close.

Or we will be in 3rd and long and they cut loose the pass rush.
 
When Dobbins went down that was a major blow. He was on a 1300yd pace. They've been able to manage but since he went down they are ave 100yds a game on the ground and 3.7 ypc.

Stiddy can run a little but not in the same class as Nix. That is another issue for DEN.
Agreed. Patriots defense is allowing 2.0 YPC during the postseason. I also feel Payton is going to have a conservative game plan with Stidham.. him talking about Stidham felt as if he had to manufacture confidence.

We need for Drake to take care of the ball.. a huge lift for us offensively is Hollins being back.

I dont think Payton knows anything about being conservative and think the complete opposite, he has nothing to lose.
 
Per Reiss:

Patriots’ Inactives..


-QB Drake Maye (MVP-like flu symptoms)
-DT Milton Williams (Assault on Head Coach)
-WR Kayshon Boutte (LSU on LSU assault and battery)
-WR Stefon Diggs (Cooking of DBs...chef questionable…..)
-CB Carlton Davis (Grand Larceny: HOU QB CJ Stroud)
-The entire starting OL (PUP due to Ann Michael Maye’s delicious baking skills)
-WR Mack Hollins (Earth Toe/Foot Cryopathy)
-CB Marcus Jones (Houston on Houston assault & grand larceny)
-Head Coach Mike Vrabel (Lip contusion suffered by way of current player during Wildcard Round vs L.A. Chargers)
 
I always figure we can discuss something WITHOUT Novels.
Some think otherwise. Obviously.
 
If the Pats win the built-in excuse will be directed at Denver losing their QB.
Don’t forget that if we somehow win the Super Bowl against Seattle, the excuse will be we only beat Sam Darnold and if we somehow beat LA Rams they’ll say we beat an over the hill QB even though he’s a MVP candidate. We won’t get credit either way so screw them all

Some of us hate reading repetitive complaints about **** people could simply ignore.

Who cares. Skip it and move on.
 
I’m going to work but enjoy the AFCCG everyone. I’ll be paying attention to updates
 
Underrated nugget:


Pats allow 4.9 YAC per catch, Broncos rely on YAC for over half their production, and New England rarely misses tackles. Tough sledding..
 
Ok give him the first few offensive drives. If he struggles, give him help. You cannot risk a fumbled TD or something. Chasing the game in that environment is a recipe for disaster. See: 2015.
This. If he gives up 3 quick dangerous pressures in the first quarter you either have to help him, or try Lowe. Feelings be damned this is the AFCCG.
