Patriots Pregame Thread Pre Super Bowl Thread- On to the Rams

[fightingirish595]

Goff can really slice teams apart when comfortable. Gotta get him off his game. He can really drop a dime in there deep down the field in a tight window

Holy sh!t Sharpe finally concedes, GOAT is better than Rodgers, lol.

because I was curious, looked up how LA is against the run. they are 23rd on the season, giving up 5.1 yards per carry and 122 yards per game. in contrast, the Chiefs are 27th but give up 5.0 yards per carry and 132yards per game.

Have to think this bodes well for patriots utilizing the same "keep away" gameplan that they did against the chiefs/Chargers.

how do you stymie a solid pass rush? Running the ball well and being physical.

 

[venecol]

Oh God. I'm kinda... CONFIDENT about this Super Bowl?! That scares the **** outta me.

For the record, I bet against the Pats vs. Seattle and Atlanta. But, I had the Pats against Philly. So... yeah.

You better bet against the Pats then.

Sony, White, Devlin, Burkhead and Paterson.

The Pats have the firepower to pound the Rams into oblivion.

 

[venecol]

The only thing I'm wondering about is the fact the Pats acted like they won the SB last night. Hoping they still have some more left in em for one more game

Not sure why you say that. That was a huge win against tough odds and elements. The Chiefs TD celebration when they went up 28 was disgusting, celebrated it more than when Pats actually won the game. Of any team, the Patriots know fully well they have one more win left. On to the SB.

They have to pay Hill. They’re trying to negotiate a contract extension.

So what ? Berry will be gone soon freeing up money, doubtful that they will keep the trio of Chris Jones, Justin Houston and Dee Ford. They will have enough money to keep the key cogs of their offense for another 2-3 years.

 

[burtgummer]

Very concerning that the last 2 weeks the defense has given up 38 points in the 4th quarter
Luckily the Pats have held on

Ground game and eliminate the turnovers and they win.

Patriots offense in the last 4 games without Josh Gordon:

446.7 yards per game
35 points per game
50% 3rd down pct.

I've been thinking the same thing.

As good as Josh was here he didn't have the entire offense down (how could he?) I think that limited Tom's options with sight adjustments, etc.

and a poor defense will get worse....

This is why what the patriots have done is so rare. every couple years we hear of some new "unstoppable team" that benefits from having a QB on a rookie type deal so they can load up in other areas. Then when the bill comes due they go back to being average. Remember when the Seahawks were going to be the next dynasty?

Chiefs offense is top 5 all-time or so. Chargers scored a ton of garbage points.

I completely agree with that and I know that they will have to cut somewhere to make it all happen. But if you have players who produce at a historic rate and the chance to keep it together you do that. The high earners on defense didn't really make a difference to begin with anyway.

I think the one thing that gets people a bit confused is not realizing that Kelce is actually pretty old already. He has only one more contract in him and most probably won't see the voidable backside years on it anyway.

 

[venecol]

I just heard Montana was at the stadium rooting for KC last night. That's even better. Lmfao

 

[Redman443]

Is there even anyone in the rams organization from that super bowl in 2002??

 

[Brewskies]

I neglected to thank the most important person on the team and his staff.

BILL BELICHICK

Thanks, Bill for getting this team ready and driving them to win the Conference Championship.

On to the Superbowl and the final win of this season.

Go Pats

 

[Foxypats]

I couldn't sleep for hours last night !

They brought him in to troll Brady...

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Well, to be fair, if he touched Brady's face with his genitals, that should be a penalty. Possibly a felony.

Athletically speaking, that would be impressive
