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

[bormio]

Anyone else just feel relaxed today? I’ll be fine with whatever happens.

This is a big road challenge for us, it’ll be sweet if we pull this off. KC is under way more pressure than we are.

Chiefs have not been in an AFCCG in like 25+ years. This is a huge deal for them. Fan base is convinced they are going to the SB. Players have heard they are unstoppable. If they are in a tight game in the 2nd half - pucker factor is going to get serious.

We’re playing with house money at this point. Seems this teams been on a mission ever since we lost Gordon.

Gordon leaving was a blessing. Throws won't be forced to anyone anymore.

Regardless of all takes (home vs road, crowd noise, weather, hfa, etc.), the reality is the Patriots have a more balanced team both on offense (run/pass ratio) and defense (pressures w/ good man cov.).

KC seems to rely on the explosive plays both on offense (bombs to Hill) and defense (sacks) to win. That makes them exciting to watch but I believe on the big stage prone to errors.

This is old style football vs Madden football. Go Pats.

This wait for 6:40 is interminable, but wait I must... I love the energy from the team right now..if we ever are going to win an AFC championship on the road, now’s the time.
In terms of personnel, I feel like the teams are pretty well matched, KC obviously has home field advantage, but if we play error free & can cause them to commit an error or two, the ship’ is there for the taking. I believe!!
LETS ****ing GOOOOOO.

We have won 2 AFCCG on the road (with Brady), iirc

So it can be done. A more positive look at this is 2008 + 2010 = 2018 when it is done again. Go Pats.

Causation ain’t Correlation. I bet if you checked the stats on “how many teams with a losing road record got the second seed” it would be some super low number as well.

If I want constant negativity I’ll call my mother.

In my case its my mother in law....but ya, you're dead on.

 

[turkeyneck]

Can't believe we are in this situation again, what a ride!

Especially with the way the year went up to this point.

[RobertWeathers]

Eh I just have a feeling the Chiefs win. Can't get their road performances out of my head.

Great

 

[long distance]
