Why do the Pats look so easy?

That game looks like a very slow low scoring game at first glance...I can see nobody scoring well into the 2nd qtr.

7-3 HT

Mark me down for the KC @ Indy. I think Larry Johnson is the best back since Barry Sanders and want to see what he can do against maybe one of the worst run defenses to ever step foot on a field.

Were probably looking at 40 carries here as they attempt to run the ball in order to keep Manning and company off the field. Should be a good game.

Well, I am from New England so can you guess which game? The media is blowing up the Belichick vs Mangini theme (no longer speaking) way to much. I mean who cares about that? All the games are great and you ask which is the easiest? No easy games Journey. I am on Dallas and the over. Also jets. That is it for now.

I think a tease on NE is the best play of the day -1.5 for a 7 pointer (In some places)

At first when i looked at the game i said oh maybe jets will even win ML. But after breaking it down a bit.

The running game of NE and the lack of physicalness by the jets front 7 seems like the biggest advantage to NE IMO. The jets have a poor run d , so NE should be able to run on them. If they do this, they should be able to pass easily becoming balanced on offense.

New england has a good run defense and the Jets cant run on people. So in my opinion the Jets are gonna hafta win this game on penningtons shoulders. It's tough to score alotta points when u are 1 dimensional on offense.

Another important thing u need in the playoffs is a qb who wont make mistakes. Brady is playoff tested and should be fine with the pressure and all as everyone knows his resume. Pennington doesn't really compare.

Finally, This is mangini's 1st time preparing for a playoff game as the head coach of a team. He will make mistakes. Belicheks resume speaks for itself, everyone knows what he's done. So there's another huge advantage for NE.

The Jets only advantage is on special teams. Miller is one of the top return men in the league IMO. As long as he doesn't break one. New england should win easy.

WOw! YOu read this and would not think the hapless, clueless Jets made the playoffs and played NE toe to toe twice inluding an outright win in New England. Those hapless Jets won how many on a row to end the year? G/L

TB, very good posts.

The Christmas eve game when JAX played them close really told me what NE is all about this year. Still that same club who plays close games and does just enough to win.

In the first game NE was up handily on the jets all game. 21-0 i believe then late in the game jets got a few scores and made a game out of it. NE dominated.

The 2nd game NE was coming off a loss to the colts. Maybe an emotional hangover from that game?

The jets beat oak, mia, min, gb, hou at the end of the year. Wins over those teams don't do much for me.

So if that means alot to you then roll with it. NE rolls IMO

Honestly think KC would be best to use LJ as a decoy in this game. They pounded him way too much this season, and he has to be getting worn down. Everybody knows about the Colts run D troubles, so I would suspect they are gameplanning for exactly what you said, LJ for 40 carries. If I were the chiefs, I would spread it wide open and hammer them from start to finish with the passing game.
