I feel like you can’t find 3 better pass rush plays if you pick from the entire Patriots seasonThat is pass pressure we don’t get. Three consecutive plays. So they settle for the FG.
IMO, I wouldn't worry about the Ravens running game against the Pats defense. We're generally ok stopping the run, when that's what the Pats are gearing up to stop. A lot of the games this year, where our run defense has gotten gashed was against teams that we were basically daring them to run. The Steelers, Chiefs, Vikings, Dolphins (in the first game), etc. were all games that we were committed to not letting them beat us with their receivers, so we gave up the run.There's no way I'd want the Patriots to face the Ravens in the playoffs. They'd run right over that front 7.
I get that they dared some teams to run, but I don't think they're good enough to stop the Ravens running game even if they're playing a heavier front.IMO, I wouldn't worry about the Ravens running game against the Pats defense.

That said, I wouldn't want to face the Ravens because of their defense. That's what scares the shit out of me at this point. If a team can get pressure on Brady, our receiving corps continues to look like shit (and now, with no Gordon) and we can't run the ball, that's got disaster written all over it.

Icing the kicker on a 65 yarder is so dumb. The kicker isn't going to be bothered by it. It's essentially a free roll.Stupid fucking timeout. You aren't going to ice Tucker. You're just going to give him a practice test.
God, I hope not. Only playoff game I ever left early. That game was over from the first play of the game. The Pats couldn't do anything and couldn't stop anything.You and Red Oct are describing Ravens @ Pats, 2009 postseason.
That kind of sounds like more fun than church without the fart...This game is as entertaining as a wet fart in church.
Even the characters playing beside him in the commercials find him annoying. Why Verizon hitched its wagon to that personality is beyond me.Middleditch fucking SUCKS. Holy shit get the fuck off my fucking TV you fucking nerd. This guy doesn't get it.
Black & Blue Division rules in play.He literally ripped Rivers helmet off, and drove him to the turf by his neck. That's not roughing?
Except when the call could go against the Chargers. Then the flags come out every time. Feels so much like last week's Pats game.Black & Blue Division rules in play.
Absolutelyit would have been bold but an intentional safety there has some merit
Pats have to get one, not sure who’s the one seed.Just for fun, who gets bye in 3 way 11-5 tie between Pats, Chiefs, Chargers?
