They almost went 1 and done after that 15-1 season due to his play. Coaches and players say it all the time....the playoffs are a different animal. What a team/player does in the regular season means nothing when your team is one loss away from being eliminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wouldn't bet on it. I won't rule then out because of it though either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Bali Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) The gap between Belichick and Andy Reid is wider than the gap between Mahomes and Mac Jones. That's why the Pats have to be favs in the AFC now. That's the first time in history anyone has ever said something is wider than Andy Reid too Edited December 7, 2021 by Dan_Bali 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, every position that matters for this kind of game script, the Pats are stronger. All the spots the Bills are far better were virtually irrelevant. The weather absolutely benefitted the Pats. Playing in weather like this is NOT what this Buffalo team wants. Goes against everything they want to do on offense. The crazy thing is, Allen was zipping that thing like it wasn't a big deal (although I'm sure it majorly affected the movement and touch).

Does anyone believe that even as a rookie he's less capable of helping the pats get there then Jimmy was for the niners in 2019? Really just comes down to how much they'd have to lean on him. Would I trust them if they have to lean heavily on him? No. Do I believe he's capable of not messing up enough to let his very good team drive him there? Yes. Jimmy G didn't win either tho.

And weather should be taken into account regarding roster building when you play in Buffalo, NY and your main opponent is in Foxboro.

I don’t see it. I know nobody else in the AFC looks particularly impressive but come January I am betting an offense can play well enough vs NE that Mac is forced into uncomfortable territory, and struggles.

Apparition Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) The craziest thing about that game is that it wouldn't have even been close if the Pats didn't have a blocking TE trying to catch a punt for the first time in his life for some reason.
