I do see where KC would be a team the Pats would not want to see vs Pitt or Jax. I don't see any of the three winning a game at Foxboro, but anything can happen. KC has more of a chance, with a strong balanced offense, vs the run first ask questions later offenses of Pitt or Jax. The way New England has been playing as of late, it looks, to me, that we will have the inevitable barn burner in Indianapolis that has been discussed for about a month now! (Or Indianapolis "choke fest" as some of you have predicted)
I'm rooting for the Colts, but I maintain, like I have since October, that if the Patriots got healthy, they would still be the team to beat in the playoffs. I'm hoping for a very good game if the two meet.
I wouldn't give up on Dillon for a couple of years yet. I think he's a rusher who has compensated for age and injuries with smarter running, much like Edgerrin James. I've the two of them running at a hole that just isn't there and somehow its there when they arrive, when other backs would back out and end up taking a loss. Or youthful backs that run at a hole that isn't there and blast through for a few yards, slowly getting beat up in the process. Guys like Dillon and James can last a few years more than those who try to keep the same style of running as nature takes its toll.
