Next team up: The Patsies (Game week discussion)

[Panamamike]

Interesting stat: in the SB era 7 teams have won 9 or more games outside their home stadium and all 7 won the SB that year. Bolts are 9-0 this year outside LA

Luv it.

Belichick had Taylor with NYG but in NE he never have any pass rusher that dominant. His best pass rushers in NE was McGinest and Seymour. Seymour was a DT and McGinest past his prime already by the time Belichick coach in NE. McGinest's best years were with Parcell and Pete Carroll there.

The was a playoff game where McGinest sacked Mark Sanchez (NYJ) like 6 times, he had 5 sacks all of regular season.

Belichick pass rushing game in NE was never about regular season and individual talents, it was always about X&O and exploit weakness, and then attack the offense's weakness in the playoff. So our OL is a concern here. They're our weakness, especially in the interior. Rivers and Whiz have been able to masked and equalized our OL with Rivers directing the protection and yelling a bunch of code words at the line of scrimage. A system that McCoy learned from Manning in DEN and brought here.

We cannot underestimate their pass rush. History shows that Belichick's pass rush always up like 2 levels in the playoff, for every team he coached, NYG, CLE (they went to playoffs when he was there), NE (Parcell), NYJ, NE.

McGinest left the Patriots in 2006, he never faced Mark Sanchez.

Not sure who the QB was. It was McGinest last year before retirement I think, in the wildcard round.

Most radio people predict NE to win. They point to the Ravens game as we almost blew it and got lucky, similar to the "same old Chargers". I much rather they predict us to lose, just extra fire. If media people give us too much love during the week leading up to the game then it's a concern. Coaches and players are human being, they read things. If they don't, they friends and families would text it to them. It's a social media age.

We need to be the underdog. Dont go in there expecting to win.
