Barnwell: Myths vs. realities from Patriots' 18-year dynasty

need to keep that article in back pocket for future discussions from studpid fans

The weather reports seem to get better for KC however the Pats are good in cold weather. They say the field is heated but I have read that the ground could be frozen, how could that be? Anyone got an answer.

I think the noise at the stadium will be a bigger problem for the Pats than KC, even though the Pats will use a silent count. I thinking false start penalties, this can't happen, its a no-no.

Meaning it'll be colder or warmer than anticipated?

And the crowd noise will definitely cause problems. Thus, why I picked KC to win 31-20.

Crowd noise won't be a issue if New England silence them early on to take the lead! Like I said "If" and that's a huge if! Getting off to a fast start has to be the Pats number 1 priority especially on offense this week!

It’s so frustrating because I know that if this game was being played at Gillette we’d roll over them. You could have booked your tickets to Atlanta back on Monday.

Do you see all the free releases he gets? At least watch the game before making outrageous comments like that.

So I have a question. A 6'5" 260 pound extremely athletic tight end or receiver that averages 1000 plus yards a season and has the single season tight end receiving yards record is not an elite receiver because you think he gets free releases? To be more elite he should get jammed at the line? Part of being an elite receiver is being open. And I seriously doubt that he is being ignored by defenses. He has great hands. Great speed and athleticism. He is great after the catch. He's too fast for linebackers and he's too big for DB's. He is an elite receiver. There's homerism and then there's bat **** crazy homerism.

You'd have to take such a big lead that the game is completely out of reach to quiet the crowd.

That's some Nobel Prize winning level of analysis there amigo.

False start penalties. Thats a big issue.

How can the Pats simulate crowd noise practicing outside? They can only really do it in the bubble.

Seriously! The last I checked Arrowhead Stadium is not a bubble.

@KontradictioN
So who are you picking this week?

I’ll take Chiefs in a close game. Losing record on the road and a hostile environment with a team that’s consistently hung 40 on us. The offense is going to need to win the game and while it’s nice to see Brady back to his old self, I don’t see it happening. Like my fellow quitter, @QuantumMechanic, I hope I’m wrong.

This team does not get intimidated.

They handled the noise in Indy well enough back in the day and crowds in Pittsburgh are always hostile and they’re used to that. And they won a Super Bowl in spectacular fashion during all the Deflategate noise - tells me there’s a mental toughness about this team that shouldn’t be written off.

In fact Reiss noticed how relaxed the team is this week and that’s why he reversed his prediction of a KC win to a Pats win. The complete opposite of what the team looked like at practice leading up to the Super Bowl they shall not be named.
Should be interesting.

Belichick: Still get nervous before every game So it’s not just me

They’re now saying temp will be in the high 20s at game time. But wind will be 15-20 which isn’t nothing.

Damn. I thought you were going to come back to the right side. I got the Pats 35 Chiefs 20.

 

[italian pat patriot]

I want a GREAT running game...lets go

Michel White Burkhead +offensive line together

I wish some of you could be there. You've mostly all been pretty nice. It would be fun to have everyone be able to be there and come back and discuss on Monday.

 

[goheels22002]

You mean to tell me Cris Carter picked a score, reflecting the line exactly? Lucky for him it wasn't 3.5. (he does this almost every time)

The over-under is 56. The exact score would be 30-26 or 29-27 Chiefs.

 

[Kontradiction]

I will say this, if they beat the Chiefs, on the road, in KC, and Brady is lights out... I'll probably start to believe again. But if I start to believe and I get crushed after the Super Bowl (if they lose), I'm driving to Foxboro and I'm putting your head through a car window.

look Buford,take your fakeazzed tough guy act out to the street corner. You have anything intelligent to say besides calling members here "homers" (like THAT is a bad thing)? If not ,choke yourself on a bucket of slimy KC ribs and look ahead to your impending myocardial infarction.

Swing by my house afterwards. I want to hear about it over a 21 year old scotch.
