Wayne Cubed Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Chargers have both the offensive and defensive talent to beat the Pats**, I don't like the odds of a rookie QB going up against Belichick. Unfortunately he eats them for breakfast and eventually the Pats** will score against the Ravens defense, I think the Browns showed that you can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Belicheck eats up and out fools rookie QB’s, whereas Rivers has seen everything. Those defensive ends are going to be putting pressure on Brady all day. Besides, I see the Pats going heavy run against the Ravens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of agree with this. Whatever ones feelings on Jackson, Belichick vs. a rookie, whatever, the fact is that the Ravens can flat out run the football. Both defenses should give Brady trouble. Kraft and company will need help from the zebras for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Neither. I think the Pats will win the AFC despite the apparent “struggles” Every fan of every other AFC east team is always ready to throw dirt on the Pats as soon as there is a hair out of place. The funny thing is they always still get there. When will people learn? The reason we all hate them, should be the reason we all know better then it count them out. As long as Brady and Bill are there, I’ll figure they win. They were the only team undefeated at home. Not only are they very good, how many times have we seen it first hand? You are never going to get a call against the Pats in Gillette. They don’t even need the help most of the time, but believe me they are still going to get it. That’s why they never lose at home. The ONLY team that I think COULD beat NE is Indy. But that game would be in NE anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) I am pulling for the Chargers, but I believe either team can beat the Pats next week. They both have fronts that can get after the QB. If you pressure Brady then the Pats are nothing more than an average team. Edited January 6, 2019 by H2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Pulling for Phillip - as others said I think Jackson will be exposed and Phillip is a vet who's seen it all and who's time perhaps has come. Biggest thing is no injuries so whatever team does win comes out of it at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I can't see Baltimore beating the Pats*** even with their stellar defense. You don't think Belichick can stymie a run-oriented offense behind an erratic rookie QB? Bolts need to win this game today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I think the Ravens have a better shot to beat NE. If LA wins do they stay on the east coast for the week? The danger in the Chargers win is the travel, time zone and temperature changes. Historically, West coast teams don't do as well when playing on the East Coast. If the Chargers can rise to the. occasion and win on the road, they should stay on the East coast to prepare. 4 trips in two weeks is a bit much. Either way, the last thing I want to see is a sluggish Chargers team come out flat and lose and the Colts go into KC and win giving NE a home championship game. NE MUST LOSE.

People say this, and then forget that the NFL is a constantly evolving game. Who is to say that the next evolution is not going to be strong defensive play and a run heavy game? Wouldn’t that “gimmick” fit perfectly into that style of play? Also, Lamar has thrown the ball about 25 times a game.

I think his potential as a passer is higher than Vic or McNabb. I dont think it is as high as Allens or Rodgers or Moon but he has the potential to become a very good mobile passer. He remonds me of Cunningham I think the Ravens are hoping he puts it all together faster than he did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is a bad imitation of Deshaun Watson, a mobile QB and far better passer on a team with a solid Defense. Yet when his team was punched in the mouth by Luck (and Mack) in the 1st Q, Watson was already down for the count. He came up tiny late in the game with horrible tosses. I don't see Balt getting past SD. Rivers is 1-7 against NE. He won a game 10 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILFHUNTER#518 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Neither. Whomever wins will have to play the Patricheats in Foxborough. Spygate is very active there this time of year. Ravens have a gimmicky rook, the disgruntled lighthouse keeper and ernie adams have had a long time to watch film on him so he is toast. Bolts are west coast team traveling in, so they are done. Both teams will have to deal with all the cheating and parlor room shenanigans that go on up there, neither are capable of adapting imho. Oh, and i would be remiss if i failed to mention the patricheat's 12th man, the zebras? Enough said.

Happy Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 29 minutes ago, I am the egg man said: More likely it'll be the Chiefs. Agreed. I would guess that the Pats D, while not great, will take advantage of Lamar Jackson's penchant to be sloppy with the football as well as his being a rookie. The Chargers (especially Phillip Rivers) choked in a big game and lost to the Ravens two weeks ago in LA. I don't think they'll beat the Ravens in Baltimore.

Gugny Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There is not one scenario in which I can see Baltimore beating New England. They could play 100 times and the Pats would win all 100 games. Belichick-coached teams have never lost to a team with a starting QB under the age of 25. He's 24-0 when that happens. Gotta pull for the Chargers and I believe the Chargers are better than both the Ravens AND the Patriots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I think the Chargers are a really good team, i like anthony lynn and rivers as people, and i simply think it is the team Belicheck does not want.

Boatdrinks Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Both are capable, Chargers probably present more matchup problems. Contrary to popular belief, the Pats* don’t always get to the SB. The best chance for them to lose is on the road, where they’ve lost 3 title tilts. They also lost at home vs Ravens in an AFCC and divisional game. Lamar is a different kind of rookie QB that presents problems. This is the weakest version of the Pats* in 10years and I think that matters. Brady’s not going to play until he’s 50.

KD in CA Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Either has a reasonable chance; the Ravens have done so before and will believe they can win. Only problem there is BB will likely figure out how to contain Jackson and if that happens Baltimore has no offense. I know for sure Houston had no chance so very glad NE* won't get a bye next week.

I hope you're correct but the Chiefs haven't looked great since they released Hunt. As for today's game I'd say both have a poor chance of beating the Pats* at home. The chargers have good offense and a better defense so I'll root for the Bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
