The Patriots haven't actually played anybody worthy and they almost lost to the bills

Bill will know our tendencies better then any team we face. We better not play WYSIWYG offense. Gotta have tendency breakers.
Lamar gets to his next progression read better then most rookies and even better then some starting QBs the Pats will test that by taking away the 1st read....bye bye Andrews and Marquise.

Re: Face it! We can beat the Pats!
Our offense matches up quite well with their defense because we can run it really well and stay away from that scary secondary but, unfortunately, our lack of pass rush will give Brady all day to throw and he can carve us up that way.
I hope people don't come out of this game calling our secondary trash because we'll inevitably give up a lot of yards under the circumstances and look bad at times.

I'm more scared of KC still than I am of NE, we match up much better.
Will I be surprised if they beat us? No. But this is a winnable game if everybody does their job and we show up ready to grind out a W.

Re: Face it! We can beat the Pats!
The Patriots have played 4 of the 5 worst offenses in the NFL. The Giants are the 10th worst, and the Bills are 17th (by definition, mediocre). The Ravens are the second highest scoring team in the league (only trailing New England), and the best run team by over 30 yards a game (and Lamar is about half of the total).
The run game is on a ridiculous pace - continuing the current average, we will finish with over 3,200 yards rushing as a team. Plus another 3,700 passing - about 6,900 total yards of offense. For perspective, that would be top 5* in pro football history.
The 2019 New England defense has not been properly battle tested. We just took out Seattle, and we're getting reinforcements. I like our chances at home after a bye.

I just saw how proud Van Noy looked regarding Darnolds ghosts comment. They're perfectly set up to get humbled

Re: Face it! We can beat the Pats!
Brian Billick regarding a team (the Titans) that were supposed to beat his Ravens, but lost to us instead said, “Maybe they are (the better team)...but not today!”
Let's hope Harbaugh can say the same in two weeks... Bc
