Why Not Us?

[farn]

Assuming good health we're going to the Super Bowl.

Why? Because the NEP are bunch of balling, bad-ass m-fers

It's going to be interesting. I'm trying to think "who in the AFC has an offense capable of beating these defenders ?" - The logical first one is KC. But they've been out of sorts all year. The KC D is probably more responsible for the recent upswing. Baltimore ? No way. So... The "why not us" which might've seemed like a dream in early October doesn't seem that crazy anymore.

Only game I wouldn't be optimistic is if we played in Arrowhead.

Yeah but, but, but KC is a defensive juggernaut or somethin'.

They are?

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

They are?

Not at all, I was being sarcastic.

I have seen people talking up their D on TV and on the internet for the last week or so. Like they figured something out.

Maybe they did, but when you take a closer look at who they stopped and, most importantly, who these teams were missing... it is not that impressive.

The Tits would be more of a challenge with Henry and Brown back as well.

 

[Dennis DiMaria]

I know....

Unlikely.

Long odds.

If the Pats were to win it all this year, I will be able to pay off my kids year of college with my winnings on Draftkings.

Go Pats!!

Ha ok. Agree

Yea not impressed with their D at all

I tend to agree

The Henry situation is interesting and bears watching. Seems aggressive to have him ready by Jan

We pinched them tits.. no reason why we can't get away with doing that again.

Superbowl odds as of today

Patriots 3rd fav to lift trophy after last year’s finalists. At this rate we’ll be favourites soon

I know I keep typing this - blind squirrel, stopped clock etc etc - but the next game is a really Really REALLY big game... On the road (again)... Indoors (again)... But these ain't the FailCons; and this time there won't be any noticeable Pats fans presence... Plus there'll be pumped-in noise to supplement that of the enablers in the stands (again)... Clots are on a big-time roll, are relatively healthy and can smell the Titties' blood in the water now...

If the Pats can somehow steal a win under all these (and more) conditions, then I'll truly believe in their 2021 prospects...

After the Pats beat Indy... captain stone will post:

I don't see how the Titans can be any more effective on the ground with Henry than they were against us without him. Is he going to run for 300 yards?

There are a couple reasons I can think of for Why Not Us.

- Went 1-4 to end the year.
- Defense which carried the team all year couldn't keep the smoke and mirrors up with too much fundamental crap across Godchaux, Bentley, and SloJuan.
- OC completely misused talented players Onwenu, Agholor, Jonnu all year.

In hindsight, I guess I was a little off in starting this thread...

A couple of others:

Lack of in-game discipline, resulting in COSTLY penalties & turnovers;

The WORST Special Olympics Teams of the Belichick era;

And an unfulfilling red zone offense, resulting in too many negative 4-point plays.
