Brady OT Playoff Games

" In the three postseason overtime games Brady has played in, New England’s opponents have never touched the ball."

The funny thing here is all three teams had 60 minutes to beat the Pats in regulation. At least for the last two, I think some how, dome way Slater is a secret weapon.

I don't actually recall that part... Bold of him since he has no part in the offense.

Slater ALWAYS calls heads. Has to do with his dad and some religious thing.
NE gets to call it to start the SB is that correct? Since they're wearing visitor colors? If so Slater is calling heads.
If they win the toss do they defer?

I think they will be the away team.. IF they win the toss I say the receive and take the ball and score

For the past few seasons I loved deferring and ending the 1st half with the ball and starting the 2nd with it.

These past couple games starting with the ball and taking 7+ min off the clock AND scoring has been awesome.

Tough call. I'm not sure what I'd do?

BB likes messing with everyone. Now that he made deferring vogue he wants taking the ball vogue again.

Against rtheChargers and Chiefs he immediately wanted to show them both that they had weaknesses in their defenses and that they had better be ready for a shootout.

Then the defense stopped them both on the first series which put them both is an "Oh Shit!" mode. Against the Chargers, the Pats scored when they got the ball a secongtime and against the Chiefs, they never allowed them near the end zone or FG distance.

The Patriots biggest problem in both games is that the defense slacked off during halftime. I don't know what BB or Flores can do to maintain the first half level of intensity and 'kill 'em' attitude, but they can't slack off against the Rams and expect Brady to save theirtheir butts. There comes a point where the other team starts to fuel up from the lack of whatever and it has cost them against the Titans and the Dolphins.

If the Patriots win the toss, I expect them to take the ball and test the hell out of the Rams front seven. If the rams win the toss, I think McVay will defer in an attempt to stop Brady immediately and try to score and put the pats at a disadvantage. FGs on either teams' first possession will have to be considered a failure.

Don't forget, both teams try. The "slacking off" could also be attributable to the other team figuring things out.
