Brady vs. the infamous DB cushion

I'd say division games are always closer though ya know? Even when one team is clearly better than the other. They just know each other so well. I still was surprised it was THAT close though.

 

Yeah but since they were on the road it's a little more expected. They are actually one of the youngest teams in the league so I just think that IS to be expected but MAN when those guys get some experience and learn to play well on the road too they are gonna be close to unstoppable. IF they can keep that team together once the big fat contracts start kicking in against their cap.

 

I think our LBs are going to get to Brady and shake it up a bit too.

I look for pressure from JW and Woodley having one of his better games.

 

Seriously... Am I the only one that watched the defense the last time we played these guys?

 

The ONE thing that makes me feel somewhat good about this game is that we really HAVEN'T played "these guys". I mean Brady's receivers have hung him out to dry all year long. They couldn't catch aids in Africa. They can get behind defenders but they just can't catch it when he puts it right in their hands. He has been really frustrated all year long. So that makes me feel a little bit better knowing that he has bums to throw to. Maybe THEIR offense can be like OUR offense and sort of function as OUR defense. My boss came and was talking smack that we lost the raiders and asked me how and I just told him "the raiders didn't need a defense that day because they had our offense" and he just laughed but it's sadly true.

 

What we'll have to watch is that it appears belichick sold another piece of his soul as NE has found a Run Game. I mean they're getting what, 140+ total and 4.3 or something a carry? That will not help our LBs missile down on Brady for sure.
It's going to be an interesting game to watch, I think.
