Brian Billick is more optimistic about the Pats than the majority of this board...

Patriots, Cardinals playoff favorites; fear the Steelers, Seahawks - NFL.com

Whoda thunk..

Billick is a douche but I agree with him.

He might seem unaware of the olines issues and overly optimistic of how JE will play after being inactive for 12 or so weeks....

He did mention the O line is having issues, but yeah he did kinda seem to make a smaller note of it than he should. I just liked that he's not buying into the Manning circus.

Billick was and is a Good Coach simply because he is a Realist and sees things ss they are and not as he wishes them to be.

 

[PatsDeb]

The fact remains that despite our problems the last two weeks, no one in the AFC has looked dominant down the stretch and it really is wide open right now.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

that's not a good sign

 

[Wheelman]

In talking about Tom Coughlin's firing Brian Billick said he told Mike Nolan to lay off the blitzes on Eli as he didn't want to answer to Archie and Olivia. Wtf!

 

[Rob0729]

Billick respects Belichick.

I think if Edelman returns at 85-90% and everyone else is healthy, the Pats can roll on the AFC. Think if Brady can spread out the defenses and make short quick passes, it fixes most of the problems (along with two new starting tackles from yesterday in Vollmer and Weddle).

 

[SVN]

he maybe right but he is off on the other things . I don't think denver gets one and done becuase i think cincy will beat pitts.

not with brady's high ankle sprain

Breaking news?? Thought it was just a run of the mill thing???

not with brady's high ankle sprain

Brady isn't a WR and we do not know how bad it is although most people say it is mild. And people overstate high ankle sprains. It is where on the ankle it is sprain and TYPICALLY are worse than lower ankle sprains, but not always.

Albert Breer just tweeted it. But Schefter said it is mild.

a grade 1 high ankle sprain > grade 3 low ankle sprain

 

[RIpats88]

Because this board is doom and gloom all the time to the point it is nauseating...were doomed! The sky is falling!

Where as an outside observer he sees that the team we were the last two weeks isnt the team we will see on the 16th

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

If we could run the football effectively. Just haven't doned it all year.

I think KC could also beat Denver though.

Maybe but it's difficult to just turn the light switch on. We will see.

a grade 1 high ankle sprain > grade 3 low ankle sprain

That is BS. A grade 3 classification is a complete ligament tear and a season ender. You are not playing without surgery from a complete tear of an ankle ligament no matter where it is.

I meant the grade 1 is better than the grade 3
