I also think you have the play at least 50% press coverage. Rams can do it but Talib and Peters will need to play out of their minds. There isn’t a big time WR to cover but I think wade will have a plan for Gronk who is a shell but can still make the big play, and of course Edelman (NRC won’t get away with DPI vs Pats) I see Gronk doing a lot of blocking this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Rams OL has been playing great. I think they will get their run game going too. I don’t love Goff either but he made some huge plays on Sunday. Watch out for their two underrated young TEs - Higbee and Everett. They are great at YAC. You know better than that Yolo. Individual players mean nothing when it's the Patriots. I don't think the Rams have no chance, but I have less confidence than I would like. I didn't really think the Eagles had much chance last year either, so hopefully I will be surprised. Also, The Rams Defense scares me in that they're a bunch of emotion based knuckleheads who seem out of control sometimes. Late pushes by Suh and Donald will get called against Brady. NRC mugging every receiver he's lined up against will get called. Marcus Peters forgetting he's playing football and being horribly out of position will get exploited. Aquib Talib running his mouth and being chippy will get him in trouble. Obviously that's all worst case and I hope I'm wrong. But the fears are based on too much reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Goff can get rattled especially if they start going 3 and out. He didn't on Sunday. He just went play at a time didn't panic and made the throws to bring them back. Goff is underrated I think by most. It stems back to that first year. People want to put everything that has happened since on McVay.... and while he is a big factor the truth is Goff is a good Quarterback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true but the Rams have a really good OL - just looking at matchups on paper. They win both LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just dodnt have the horses. Obvious run plays they were undisciplined and linebackers didnt fill gaps. I will say at every level like you said “dont have the horses”.

I think LA’s LBs have to play lights out in coverage to counter NE’s*** RBs in the passing game. They’re good, especially White. I know one thing, Wade couldn’t be more familiar with the Pats*** schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see those weak spots as well but they seem to really be playing well together right now as a team and the talent is certainly there. You never know what Peters or talib will do but if one of them gets into it with Edelman or Gronk I won’t complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So let me get this straight. They guy who wouldn't go for the end zone one more time with :11 on the clock and kicks the FG to tie the game, send it to OT, and never sees the ball again and loses to the Cheats, is still HC, and the DC is fired. Scapegoat much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat much? Yes, the DC of a team who lost 5 games this season even though his offense scored 40 points, 51 points, 28 points, 31 points, and 31 points in those 5 losses was relieved of his duties. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers had no healthy linebackers so what did the Patriots do? 17 of Brady's 34 completions to running backs taking advantage of defensive backs not used to playing that close to the line of scrimmage and having to read and anticipate those quick short routes. What is the weakness of the Chiefs D? Soft through the middle. No run stuffer at DT and linebackers who are pathetic in run support. What did the Patriots do? They committed to the run. 48 rushes to 46 passes (and that is after 9 of the 13 OT plays were passes). The Chiefs adjusted at HT to try and make Tom Brady beat them (yes folks you read that right) but they don't have the personnel to be able to stop the run without selling out to stop it. Once they did that suddenly Edelman and Gronk were in the ball game with 1 on 1 matchups. It is easy to blame Bobby Sutton (who I think over the course of the season has earned his firing and was probably out regardless) and Gus Bradley but these guys are not mugs. They have run good defenses in the past.... they just have personnel that while strong has weak spots and nobody, in the history of the game arguably, adjusts their game plan week to week to attack your weaknesses and nullify your strengths better than the Patriots. They are the masters at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
