I think people are vastly overrating Bo Nix. I don’t see a massive dropoff between him and Stidham. In fact I believe Stidham has a better arm.
And yet, Stidham has ridden the bench all season with Nix being the starter.. Which is why I also questioned Payton's statements about Stidham in practice.
 
Exactly what I said it would be. Wasn't hard to predict based on the previous inactives.. Wonder who will be out there with Johnson returning Kicks... Kyle Williams perhaps?
Williams did it before and is more dynamic than Chism. I expect to see him back there.

You have to put M Jones on Mims, short on short. Gonzo and Davis on Sutton and Bryant. Either safety or A Austin can guard Lil' Jordan who is tall but very slow. Stiddy has nowhere to throw.

Have to avoid injuries.
 
I have never seen an easier path to the Super Bowl in my life.

Bills would have made the SB the past 5 years in a row with the easy as cake path the Pats have had.

You will win today.
Hopefully.

If the 2025 Patriots win the Super Bowl their legacy years from now will be that they won the Super Bowl. Doubtful many people will say ya but their schedule…. Look at the 72 Dolphins and all the glazing they get. Their schedule was way easier than what the Patriots had this season.

Williams “edged out” Chism? Good!

Gonna be a ton of jump balls due to Denver’s height at receiver. Hopefully, we don’t called for many (or any) DPIs..
 
I have the same feeling today that I had prior to the 2001 AFC Championship against the Raiders. Anxious Confidence.. I know who I want to win, but I'm afraid to say it out loud for fear of the Cosmic forces jinxing us.. LOL
 
I like your take but I couldn't help think ... "Jerry Quarry has had some excellent experience going up against Norton, Fazier, and Ali."

I'm pretty sure Campbell will come out better.
Good analogy... I get what you're saying.. Good thing Nik Bonnito isn't the caliber of rusher will Anderson is...

One of the commentators during the Texans game pointed out that only one playoff team in history had an easier schedule then the pats this year and it was the 2000 Rams. I've never in my life heard anyone insinuate "the greatest show on Turf" got there start because of their easy schedule. As usual the Pats are held to a different standard then anyone else.

“New England is attempting to become the first team in NFL history to reach the Super Bowl after losing 13-plus games the prior season.”
