MNF -- Preview of the Pats

[cincygrad]

What are you guys expecting? What would you like to see?

As much as I'd love to watch the Patriots lose, Brady and Belicheck are ridiculous coming off of a loss. They always seem to get healthy in a hurry. Probably better for us if they win.

Thoughts?

I want to see Jeremy Hill wear those mother frackers down

I agree with both of you, but on the same token, I would really like to see NE lose as I think the best playoff contenders in the AFC this year are: New England, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Indy, Denver and San Diego.

I want that damn bye week this year in the playoffs.

The Pats defense is trash. Has been for a few years now.

The Pats defense is trash. Has been for a few years now.

First time I've really watched them this year. I've heard all the hype -- Best NE defense since the last Super Bowl win, blah, blah, blah....

Chandler Jones is the real deal. That guy is awesome.

Revis is not nearly as impressive as he used to be. Bowe has beat him a few times already.

Their offense is limited. Same issues they had when we played them last year. Lack of any real playmakers to help Brady.

On paper it would seem to be a game we should win.... But it's never really that easy.

What would Marvin do if NE pulled that 'we're punting, but now we're not' shift? I'd hope he would just call a timeout like Reid, but I'm not convinced.

Chandler Jones is by far their best player on defense. Revis is living on reputation. Wilfork is still pretty good, but age and injuries have limited his ability to be great again. But they don't make a lot of mistakes, and they're lucky. We've got to take care of the ball.

Marvin would have no idea what's happening.

Andy Reid's clock management skills are hilarious.

I really don't see any way the Bengals don't get a bye in the playoffs. The state of the AFC is bad.

No reason we shouldn't win next week.

[cincygrad]

I think the four best teams in the AFC right now are the Broncos, Chargers, Bengals and Ravens. Only two of them can qualify for the bye (given that you have to be a division winner).

If we can beat the Ravens in Cincy, we'll be in good shape.

 

[bengaldoug]

Wow, both lines were just totally dominated by the Chiefs. I have never seen the Pats look that bad. Scares the crap out of me for Sunday night. No way we get the same Pats team that showed up tonight.

 

[kramer1]

We'll either win by 20 or lose by 20.

 

[alf8478]

We'll also be playing against the refs on Sunday, I mean we all know the league will not let the mighty Patriots lose two straight games and be under .500

.....N O T ......!!!!!!

The NFL doesn't like change though. they will find some way of elevating their old favorite teams.

I'm already ''throwing'' in the towel..........I will be donning [cough] tiger-striped pantiez this week at the game sunday-night in ~honor~ of your team,......*i'll be consuming a lotta baked-beanz [AND BOOZE] in order to fulfill that task*.

 

[DanBengalfan]

whatever you need to do to get through the ordeal.

your biggest hope being of course that our coach doesn't understand the concept of putting a team away by scoring a few more touchdowns.

I am a little more concerned about this game after that destruction on MNF. They are going to be pissed and ready to hit their mothers to get back on track.

I am also salivating more after watching that game, because our lines are really good, and that is where KC took them to the woodshed at.

I am all kinds of confused right now.

I agree with Kramer...we win by 20, or we lose by 20. This game has me all confused.

I was hoping for a loss, but a close game that is more demoralizing, rather than a game that is going to piss everyone the hell off and give them reason to come out smashing people.
