    One persons (unthanked) opinion becomes the Patriot way? How nice of you. No surprise to see you've been thanked by another person with a grudge against the Pats.

    I don't want to see them target anyones knee; but legally hitting him hard and see if he's physically up to the challenge, yeah that's ok.

    Bit like in the Chargers thread where someone (who of course thinks one person throwaway comment is the Patriot way) wants to see Bosa and Ingram getting after Brady (and it will be a joy). You can see that as wanting to hurt another human and take joy from it (I guess that now equates to the Chargers way), but I'm guessing that it's a case of wanting to legally hit him and try upset his game; but haven't seen you post about it there.

    You're blowing up a nothing comment ... hits are part of the game - i'm not advocating murder, just to go out and give him a good rattle and see how he fares... I take it you've never played sport yourself?

    The double standards are bizarre ... You might even say, you couldn't make it up.

    Would you stop --- all the commentary (pundits) is that the Chargers win.

    You'd be best served logging off the internet for a few days or you might do yourself some harm.

    Where are you seeing all these pundits? Most don't make their picks until the weekend.

    All the bookies have Patriots around a 4 point favourite

    Temperatures are gonna be well below freezing on Sunday.
    I wonder how the Chargers will react to this.
    I'm sure the pats have been practicing outside all week.

    The Chargers have won in Seattle, at Pittsburgh, at KC and at Baltimore. Those are good wins. We need to be close to our best.

    And you clearly haven't been reading the playoff thread, with a number of people picking the Chargers. To call it sad times cause people favor the Pats, after almost 2 decades of ridiculous success, playing with home adv, Bill still scheming things, and with the greatest QB still at the helm? KC had the better team, but still left Foxboro with a L.

    The Pats are not the powerhouse they once were, and they've looked very fragile this season, esp on the road. The reason we have optimism is because of the wonderful Tom Brady, even at 41. We're hopeful that he can do enough with Gronk/Edelman looking past their best, with maybe the running backs adding something as well.

    The Pats are at home, with a great record there. They have the edge due to that, but I doubt anyone will be greatly surprised if the Chargers win.

    I'm being sarcastic...I wish you the best of luck.. Just not enough luck.. Enjoy the game.

    On a side note, can any of you lads find a weather report that predicts snow?

    Then I may need to work on my sarcasm detector, cause you said you were uptight cause despite you believing that you're the better team, everyone else is picking the Pats. I don't see the sarcasm :confused:

    It sucked last year to lose the SB, but seeing a team win it for the first time (cause I remember ours) eased some of the pain. The same would apply to the Chargers, esp as I still think of them as the SD Chargers (and San Diego is one of the best places I've ever visited). So I also wish you luck, if ye win, on a successful run.

    Snow expected today in Foxboro and most of Mass. If you ever lived there you'd know that it's not very often that you get snow for only one day. The weather is going to be cold enough for snow all weekend and it's very likely that it happens even though it's only predicted to be cloudy on Sunday at this stage.

    1. If it snows I fancy our chances a lot more.

    2. We haven't lost in Foxboro all season, while the Chargers haven't lost outside of LA.

    This is one of those few games (in any sport) where I just can't call the winner. The Chargers have, easily, the better team, but the Patriots have Beilicheck, Brady, Foxboro and a bye week.
    I fancied the Chargers earlier in the week, but the more I hear of this weather forecast the more I like the Patriots for the win. Really excited for it, roll on Sunday.

    I have this feeling that we are going to shock everybody and win the whole thing this year.
    We've complained about every part of this team at some stage this season from the receivers and Brady to the OL and the DL and at one stage the secondary. Each of these parts of the team seem to have had downtime and you'd have to wonder in hindsight if this was maybe purposeful in an attempt to get us to the postseason in good shape.

    There is no doubt that we haven't looked like Superbowl winners this season but we are still the no.2 seeds in the AFC coming off a bye week to face a team who had a rough game in Baltimore last weekend.

    I just have this feeling in my gut that we are going to see a Patriots team looking like what we expected to see in the regular season.

    But that's making the assumption that Brady is human?

    ---

    Ye are going to win on Sunday because that, depressingly and inevitably is the Patriots way.

    As the man says above, why are you getting so uptight with a noob launching in here making comments.

    That might be the Patriots' Way...

    If you think it's not going to happen then I think you haven't been watching football very long.

    Going into arrowhead untested is going to be tough. Shame yesterday's game wasn't tougher but not the Pat's fault they had to play against garbage - you can only beat what's put in front of you.... Big ask to win on the road.

    Game was over by halftime. Delighted with the W.
    I'm at unprecedented levels of concern against the chiefs. I've never been as doubtful of NE facing KC, or of NE in the championship game before! It will be a close one, don't think we'll see a repeat of the regular season shootout but am hoping for an NE win!

    I love all the doubt surrounding the team because it's pumping Brady up and in turn he is pumping the rest of the team up with this stuff.



    I have been saying for a while that I have this feeling we are going to win it all this season. I think we've seen every part of the team not look good at some stage and I just have this feeling that it's been planned to have a certain section on downtime for a couple of weeks.



    I predicted we would see a big performance on Sunday and we did. I'm predicting we are going into Kansas and whooping the Chiefs.



    Don't forget how good Belichick is at seeing the flaws in the opposition and putting a plan together to use that weakness to win games. Mahomes for me isn't very good when the pocket breaks down. Against other teams he has gotten away with a lot of things rolling out of the pocket. Belichick will analyse everything, he will see what way he normally goes when he rolls out of the pocket and he'll have somebody told to get there as fast as possible in order to at least rush or pressure his pass.



    Our defense looked like a serious playoff defense for the first time this season yesterday. I don't think it's an accident that everything came together on both sides of the ball in the playoffs.



    I'm looking forward and confident at this point. I realise how good the Chiefs have looked and that we only beat them by three points in Gillette. Thing is you have to ask yourself who got the most out of that game and I say to you that it was Bill Belichick.

    I think a strength of Mahomes is that you have someone watching for the rollout. It frees up receivers or slows down the rush. Given teams have been playing against Wilson and the like for a few years I reckon they have tried it. Generally he seems to side arm it to the open man when they go to close him down.

    The offense will have to put up another good performance. The holes are there in the Chiefs defense but Mahomes will punish you if you don't take full advantage.

    You talk about the strength of Mahomes, Belichick will find the weaknesses and prey on them.
