Patriots Pregame Thread AFC Championship: We are on to Kansas City!

And then with HFA on the line, you shat the bed against the Dolphins, losers of 7 of their final 10 games with wins over the Bills, Jets and Patriots.

Awesome. I heard you guys made a trip to Foxboro in Week 6. How'd that go?

Pretty good actually. It's one of the things that gives me the most hope about this weekend if you want to know the truth. If you left that game ultra confident about coming to arrowhead because you won, then you are not a student of the game.

Years. Rest of the years are in a follow-up tweet.

Ah that makes more sense now, Thanks! I was thinking years but it ended at 10.

Anybody have penalty stats for all the games? Wanna see compared home games, away games, wins, and losses to see how much of a factor penalties have or haven't been

And he went to the Super Bowl.

Marino played significant snaps in 1983 and did not go to the SB until the following year.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

One would have to assume it would be Gronk or Develin.

Brady.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I hear ya. But when was the last time a first year starting quarterback threw 50 touchdowns or 5000 yards? Or had HFA? When was the last first year starter that was MVP? I'm honestly not sure about those last two. When was the last 41 year old quarterback in the Super Bowl? Somethings gotta give.

You and I both know that Mahomes' numbers are inflated due to the rules favoring the offense.

 

[sb1]

Brady.

Should have brought Jordan Richards back and put his talent for missing tackles to good use.

 

[venecol]

I agree with you. Personally I think your team is superior to the Pats. Hopefully it's a good game.

BM it's ok to root for another team, there are posters here that are Jets fans for gods sake. You don't have to hide pretending to be a Pats fan. Just come out of the closet and declare your team already. Is it the squealers or the girls that like to have fun?

Probably. But you and I also both know that nobody else was close this year either. Drew Brees threw for less than 4000 and 32 touchdowns. Brady threw 29. I don't care what year it is, 5000 and 50 is outstanding. Andrew Luck was probably the closest at 4593 and 39.

And while the rules have moved to favor the offense, they haven't changed that much the past few years and nobody has seriously threatened those numbers since Peyton in 2013.

BTW, that Edelman catch is probably the best catch in the history of the NFL. At least when you combine it with how important it was and how big the stage was. That was unreal.

You’re sad.

Jesus. Are you like a PR guy for the team or something? Not everyone is a ball washing fan like you.

That's a first half number. You finished at 55 % Pats' games up front drive Rivers crazy

We finished at 50%
Chiefs defensive trends and tabulation for 2019 Divisional Round against the Colts

The reason they only looked at the first half is because the game was over at halftime lol

 

[Redstorm]

The Chiefs run defense still gave up 6 yards per carry to the Colts last Saturday. For some reason the Colts gave up on it. I doubt the Pats will.

Most of those runs came in the 4th quarter when KC was playing a pass defense

Chiefs got a few key run stuffs early in the first quarter and Indy was suddenly in a 17-0 hole.

To me, the Chiefs were fortunate, because Indianapolis was capable of running the ball, but that doesn’t mean the Chiefs didn’t earn it. The Colts were taken out of their gameplan by tough KC defense early and aggressive offense to open a big lead

I don’t anticipate that happening on Sunday. The Pats should be able to run the hall if they commit to it, even if they fall into a 7-0 deficit

Just answer the damn question man, which team do you support because it's obviously not the Patriots.

Everything you've said is a bunch of nonsense. None of it means jack sh*t. The Patriots have as good of a chance to win on Sunday as the rednecks do. I would say they have a better chance just based on the experience of the coaching staff, QB, WR, TE, OL, etc. that have been in these situations and found ways to win consistently vs the other side that always seems to lose, consistently.

Curious if you can elaborate on this, because what I saw is a run game that dominated your line, and players who got mixed up in coverage. How do you see it going the next time around?
