On to Kansas City

Andy Reid versus BB...

0-4

I truly believe NE has been holding everything back last 2 weeks in terms of regaining health, schemes and play calling. We will all be suprised on Saturday.

Anyone knows if Alex Smith has ever played at Gillette? (either with the Niners or the Chiefs)

Dante scarnechia said as much in mike reiss column. Mike lokyo said as much watching the tape that they were very vanilla offensively and defensively.

That we will see a team closer to the first 10 weeks rather than the last 6

 

[ViperGTS]

In the last 8 weeks this team is 4-4.

I don't know where the over confidence is coming from either.

It's coming from these facts:

BB
TB12
The health coming back.
It's at Gillette
The Pats playoff record at home
The Chiefs are pretty dinged up. Their o-line is at least as bad as ours.
The bye.
No Maclin.

It's really not overconfidence. It's more just looking at the facts.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm all over the place on this.. Part of me thinks it cant possibly be tougher than the divisional last year against the Ravens, but of course it can, we could lose..

I was incredibly confident for the Pats to beat BAL by 10+ points and the barely escaped with their lives

in many ways last year's baltimore team was better than this year's chiefs.

also chiefs winning streak was against teams with offenses that are not good. they have not faced a good offense at all this year.

No question.

Issue is if this Pats team as good, worse or better than last year's squad

I think part of the worry is, the team we will see on Saturday, we havent seen yet and the last 6 games are still fresh on peoples minds. And there are alot of players coming back we dont know how theyvwill perform

We will know pretty shortly i think if the team this week resembles the one from the first 10 weeks or the last 6

Im more of the opinion that the last 2 weeks, belicheck shut it down to get as healthy as possible

It's McLain.

Reid beat BB last year dude.

Doh!!!

 

[slash83]

Would rather be playing KC vs NYJ.

Anyone knows if Alex Smith has ever played at Gillette? (either with the Niners or the Chiefs)

Off the top of my head, nope. 99% sure he hasn't.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

This is the team that pummeled us and made us a laughing stock. Let's return the favor this time

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

It basically comes down to this. If the Patriots Oline shows up and gives Brady time, we will win. If they don't and Brady is on his back most of the game then we are one and done. We are facing Houston and Hali who are great pass rushers.

 

[VectorPrime]

Houston got hurt

hali is not as effective as he once was, and houston is playing with a hyperextended kmee.

Good to know. I didn't realize that he hyperextended his knee.
