Bolts better Top to Bottom of Roster

[n1997y]

We have TWO, maybe three great running backs compared to their Melvin Gordon.

This is where breakdowns like the OP fail. Melvin Gordon might (I say might, for sake of discussion) be better than any one of the Pats RBs. But overall the Pats have three really good RBs, so even if the Chargers have the one best at the position it doesn’t mean it’s a weakness for the Pats.

Not even close. Flowers is very good. Bosa is elite.

Sacks are not all that matter.

 

[Boomer B]

Wrong. It's far closer than you think.

I think Flowers is a great player but he’s not Bosa.

Bosa averages more sacks, pressures, tackles, and forced fumbles per game. He makes a bigger impact then Flowers does.

Thanks Andy, I never said they did.

Let me know when Bosa single-handidly turns around a SB with a sack. Can't make bigger impact than that.

Bosa gets overrated because of where he was drafted and Flowers underrated because of the same reason. Bosa is better in his niche but Flowers overall the more diverse and flexible player. You can easily guess who is more valuable in a BB defensive scheme.

Your analysis implies it.

Agree. But, you wrote it isn't close. It is.

Disagree, because even when first string is all healthy it doesn’t mean the backups spend all their time on the bench. It means they can rotate and keep everyone fresher for the end of the game. That can negate the advantage of better talent on the opposition when they tire late in the game.

Perhaps, but wouldn't their better players result in a lead before we rotated in our back ups and negate that advantage?

Meh. Only lead that matters is when the clock reads 00:00.

Honestly, I think the Chargers put up a better fight at Arrowhead than we do. Division rivals. Bolts have the offense to go toe to toe. I bet Chiefs fans want the Patriots. That's not to say we can't win in KC. I just don't think it's good odds we do.

There are three teams that have a better than average chance of beating this KC team: Chargers, Rams, & Saints. All three can score with them.

Funny, the Patriots score more points per game, rush for more yards per game, pass for more yards per game than the Chargers...

I'd call that a better offense!

We already beat KC. lol. They beat KC when the Chiefs were playing very well too.

Indeed we did beat KC. Barely. At home. Giving up 40 points. This is a totally different team on the road. I legitimately think this defense would give up 50 in Arrowhead (That can't be argued).

 

[FCB02062]

Odds r heavily against the Pats r.e. if they win tomorrow and go to KC...beating same team twice etc...

 

[Joker]

thanks for the positive thoughts

Something happened to gronk. I watched his highlights from SB 49 and he was much faster

True, we can’t argue that you think it. You certainly think whatever you think, no matter how deluded or wrong it might be. Can’t argue that you think it.

It was horrible 2014 arrowhead

 

[Love The Drake]

JC Jackson Gilmore And Duron Harmon are the guys who win us the game in the secondary

JC Jackson was a healthy scratch for that game.

The Steelers likely have a better roster than we do but look where they are
