One of the keys to beating the Pats is not getting in your own way. In other words, avoid Marlon McCree interception turned fumble situations. And then you have a shot to win.

Casey Hayward got complacent or something. The big play Lamar made on the second touchdown drive was something out of Madden. I don't think you have to worry about Brady doing that. Otherwise I think the NE offense is going to have a hard time moving the ball consistently against the Chargers D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game3525 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Just now, The LBC said: My bigger concern for the Chargers is that they don't bring the pass-rush in the way that usually throws Brady off, when pass rush manages to throw Brady off. And I don't know that I have confidence in Bradley (even after today) to move Bosa more inside to try to achieve that end. Yeah, that was the issue when we played them last year. The thing the Chargers have going for them is they have been really good defending short passes all year. But they have been pretty bad against deep passes (which is why I didn't want any part of the Steelers again). Also I like the potential matchup of our backs and receivers on their linebackers. NE corners are really good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best home team in the league vs the best road team in the league (along with NO). Yup, gonna be a good one, at least I hope. Will be nice going against a QB I love too so if we lose it'll be easier. If Pats lose I'm hoping Rivers finally gets his ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Chargers lose, I want to watch the world burn in the wake of another Pats Super Bowl... with the caveat that I kinda want the Rams to have to go through the Pats in the Super Bowl - even though Brady/Gronk would utterly wreck the Rams Defense.

showtime Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 On a slightly different note, when I saw Russell Okung get flagged for holding on that critical play that would have ended the game - I just thought to myself as a Seahawks fan.... Some things in life just don't change. Death, taxes, Okung holding Just giving him a hard time. I'm really glad the Chargers won the game because I wouldn't want him to live with that forever.

I just think that with the Pats red zone woes this seasom, paired with that Chargers offense, I'm worried about how equipped this team is to keep up with that Chargers offense, because Baltimore's D is on a whole other level than NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ring would hopefully get him the respect he deserves along with other QBs like Eli, Ben, and Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just having a bit of fun. If we’re honest he wasn’t even supposed to be on the roster. When Hunter went down and the #1 TE was Virgil Green we brought him back hoping he could play 10 snaps a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
