Bill Swerski Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 As the Bills were saying in their post game comments yesterday, the Oline for the Pats was harder to break down than the WRs were to cover. Now, that may be a bit of overstatement, but I do think the Pats Oline doesn't get enough credit for the incredible success of the team this year. I absolutely agree. They've always been high-tier, but they've been absolutely outstanding in pass protection this year. I was surprised that both Dungy and Wade Phillips were able to get to Brady early on in their respective match-ups. Like I said before, my only hope is that the Colts can put the Pats in a situation where the conditions will make the ball difficult to hold on to and that they can play more physically up front. But I'm definitely not holding my breath. And they have a massive hole to dig themselves out of right now, to the point where I'm hearing Jim Mora's famous "Playoffs??!!" line in the back of my head.

tosberg34 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I don't think there's a corner in the league who can match up with Moss when Brady is throwing him the ball. Negative. Woodson and Harris are 2 of the top corners in the league. Patriots have an explosive offense but no defense; Cowboys have an explosive offense with one explosive receiver and no defense; Packers are explosive on both sides of the ball. I put my money on the Packers. I'll take substance over style any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still doesn't mean that either one of them could cover Moss one-on-one when Brady's throwing the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fballfreak Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 DAL in the SB is my final answer DAL will beat GB for the NFC spot and Favre will be crying again at the post game interview. I was going to say IND in the playoffs but the loss of Freeny is going to take it's toll on the team the remainder of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.D.Morrison Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'm thinking the Giants but only because I think BB will rest some of the starters or won't play them more than a half. Translation: The only way the Pats lose is if they shut themselves down. I don't believe another team can do it. Didn't the Gmen take down another past undeafeted prospect.....? Amani Toomer....?....1998 Vikings? but these pats look unstoppable. Until someone kills Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Third overall in points allowed and fourth in yards allowed. That's pretty f'n good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
