Yard Monkey Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Moulds puts up very good numbers against top CBs in the league. He's up against a practice squad player and a WR pretending to play CB. I'm sure there will be plenty of smash mouth running, but look for Moulds to dominate this secondary. -and BTW, if the Pats overcommit to stopping Moulds, then look for plenty of huge gains with Evans, TEs, and the running game. The only person that can help with Moulds will be Harrison and if he is kept out of the box - look out - the Bills running game will be huge!

Dan Gross Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Marshall Faulk is 10X the RB that Henry or McGahee are? 114604[/snapback] It's not the runner that's at issue, it's the pass-happy coach they have. Rams probably at least would have stayed in it if Martz hadn't gone pass-whacky...of course the same could be said for the Super Bowl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats kicked the crap out of the Rams and did so with barely 1/2 a healthy team. I'm quite sure it wouldn't have mattered 1 bit what Martz attempted to do to the Pats in this game the Pats would have still won, easily. McGahee and Henry aren't going to big problems for the Pats in this game. If need be, Belichick and company will scheme to take them out of the game and will force Drew to beat them. I doubt Drew has it in him to beat a Belichick defense. Not on national TV in front of a rowdy and boisterous Patriots crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Over their careers - yes. Over the course of this year - NO. 114625[/snapback] Faulk has better rushing numbers than either McGahee or Henry this year. And if you include receiving numbers it's not even close.

And if you include receiving numbers it's not even close. 114639[/snapback] I'll give you the stats, but the stats don't explain the reality of what is happening with a Buffalo running game that is in transition. You have had two different RBs that have started games and one game where they supposedly both started. The fact is, they are a very different team than the Pats faced a few weeks ago.

If they can stop the run, then they can apply huge pressure from the middle on Drew...and as the previous game showed, the pats need their opponents to make just one mistake that ehy will capitalize on their way to victory....Hope Drew can play the perfect game.

BRH Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 The Rams got the stevestojan kicked out of them by the Dolphins. By the Dolphins. Talking smack about having beaten the Rams and fifty cents gets you a cup of weak coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, if in addition to Faluk and Jackson, the Pats can also stop Bulger, Holt and Bruce then I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to stop what are not nearly as good skill players in Henry, McGahee, Bledsoe, Moulds and Evans.

JinVA Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Yeah, and I'm sure Torry Holt and Issac Bruce were also licking their chops too last Sunday. 114588[/snapback] They combined for about 170 yds rec. and 2 td's.

Nothing to sneeze at there. 114717[/snapback] Ah, but only 12 points scored is the key. You guys can run for 200 yards and pass for 300 yards like many teams do on the Pats defense but if you only score 20 points or less it won't be good enough.

If McGahee riushes for 5.5 YPC like Faulk and doesn't score a point like Faulk, you guys lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
