Patriots Dominance Against Opposing QBs Is Staggering So Far

[The Brandon Five]

Bingo. Keeping that offense under 30 would be nothing short of a miracle. If the Patriots offense stays the same throughout the season, this could end up being 2013 all over again. Right now Gordon isn't even close to being a legit # 1 receiver. And it's quite clear Dorsett shouldn't be higher than a 3 receiver. Neither can create seperation.

What about under 14?

This Patstatic dude reminds me of Peyton's nephew (is he still around) or the tourch guy. At least the tourch guy had the balls to say he was a Chiefs fan and didn't try to hide it, but he was as bad of a troll as this dude.

Listen @Patstastic, there are members of other teams on this forum, all are welcome. Stop pretending you're a pats fan, or that you're 19. Be a man and come out supporting your Chiefs. Nobody cares. Also, lose the BB in swim trunks avatar, its disrespectful for a troll like you to have the GOAT coach avatar. Stop being a douche.

I’m looking forward to the defense playing a legitimately good QB. The defensive unit is awesome but just how great? We can’t know for sure having really only faced some of the ****tiest QBs I have ever seen.

Reid's more of a short order cook than a chef. We have Gordon Ramsey cooking for us.

So we're on to c ocktail stick ?

 

[ChessToCheckers]

I'd be shocked if the defense turned soft against more solid QBs like Watson, Wentz, Jackson, Mahomes, Prescott.

So would I. If anything, I'd expect them to be psyched up for the challenge!

In the marathon of the NFL season, it seems to me that some teams play down to weaker opponents to minimize the toll on their bodies. (AKA Trap Games.)

I think that is one of the reasons that Bill Belichick talks up the weekly weakly opponent.

That said, I look forward to stiffer competition as we move forward.

Go Pats!

They faced Ben Roethlisberger Week 1

They looked pretty damned good week 1.

From Ian's stats database in the sidebar menu. Not a very impressive list of QBs, aside from having faced Ben (20% of games).


I'm not worried about the D regardless of opponents faced because they just simply look dominant in every aspect. More concerned with lack of TD production in the RZ against these same teams.

NE is #22 with 50%, tied with TB and KC.

I recall the RZ O stinking last year as well until the last few games.

They'll figure it out (hopefully)

I’m much more interested in the Ravens-Chiefs stretch that’s when we will truly know what we have in this defense.

Not sure.

The Patriots rank #1 all time in DVOA defense after 5 games.

Behind them are only historically great defensive teams.

Watson and Mahomes are the only Qbs which will provide what you are looking for.

Even then, it won't be good enough.

 

[Kdo5]

Even then, it won't be good enough.

Yes it would.

 

[mosslost]

Hill, Mahomes, Kelce, Watkins, Williams, and Hardman is what they will cook up. When have the Patriots ever faced an offense like that? 2013 Broncos weren't even this great.

It's not a knock on the Patriots that I don't think they can go toe to toe with such an explosive offense. It's a credit to the Chiefs. This team absolutely needs a guy like Diggs and Sanders (Not just one) to go toe to toe.

Chiefs suck

 

[PatsGirl2011]

Even then, it won't be good enough.

Of course not. By then the Chiefs and Ravens will be labeled as weak anyways, so the goal post will be moved again.

The giants game could be tricky on a short week against a rookie QB whose being hyped. Curious to see how he looks against a good opponent on sunday . Playing the vikings.

Danny Dimes won't have Ebron, Saquan or Sheppard. It will be interesting.

 

[Double TE]

Chiefs suck

Chiefs have been banged up too with Williams, Hill and Watkins going down and Mahomes on a gimpy ankle. That being said, every team has injuries. Look at the Pats!!!

I am hopeful that when Wynn and Harry comeback they can provide a spark.
