Playoffs so far

in the AFC we have the #2 offense (#31 defense) against the #3 defense (#15 offense)

in the NFC we have the #8 offense (#27 defense) against the #4 defense (#26 offense)

I think it's going to be offense from the AFC and defense from the NFC.

I guess you could say the Ravens are the most balanced but I just don't trust Flacco, dude is poop. Giants defense has really stepped it up lately and that #27 ranking is no indication of where they are now. #26 on offense for the niners I think is a little low considering the flashes they showed against NO, I think it was more about conservatism during the regular season rather than ineptitude. Patriots defense made The Golden Calf of Bristol look like everyone thought The Golden Calf of Bristol should look so maybe they are gelling too but I don't believe it. I also don't think they need to gel with Brady and those TEs on offense.

Brady and the TEs v Gore and the defense

New school v Old school

Should be a good one.

Really has been fascinating. I think Brady is on a mission to prove hes still #1. Saturday he ended 'Tebowmania' (again), and This Sunday he and Bill get a chance to avenge their blowout loss two years ago. And after seeing Joe Flacco with had 3ts no picks look mediocre, they could do it. How weird is it that a QB can play a turnover free game and throw 3tds and still look average? Compare Alex Smith's 3-0 to Flacco's ...not even close.

On the other side that 49ers D is AWESOME. I mean they literally beat the living poo out of the Saints. Justin Smith is a dirty beast. I can't wait to this game. I have no clue who has the edge.

I was gonna say, the Giants D is playing like a top 10 D now... That could be a real fight of a game.

Bal vs. NE has potential to be a good game, or a blowout. If the Pats scheme to beat the Ravens D, the Ravens don't have enough offense to stay up with them.

Having said that I hope Ray Lewis et al smears Tom Brady's guts on the field.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with every word you wrote.

Damn.

It's easy to throw TD passes when you don't have to put drives together. I don't have the numbers infront of me but I think all their points came off turnovers.

Once they get rid of Flacco, they might be a real threat

Two teams led by great defenses and mediocre QBs.

Two teams led by good QBs and up until this point terrible defenses.

So many possible story lines for the superbowl it's crazy.

It's also weird seeing my childhood team back in the hunt

    • Yeah, Dave doesn't seem like a "muh scheme" type of coach where he wants plays drawn up for his QB to robotically go through a preprogrammed process. He seems like more the type of coach that just wants his scheme to produce opportunities for a QB to be a playmaker. It's a scheme you'd love to play in as a QB and it's the type of scheme that should work really well for the "point guard mentality" QB they tried to sell us on Bryce being and the type of QB he was at Alabama but at the NFL level all of those physical shortcomings that seemed plainly evident to many of us on the college field are showing up in a big way. Even with his bad decisions I honestly think a lot of it is that he's struggling to see the field. I don't mean that figuratively in that he's misreading the defense or missing open receivers, I mean that literally in that I think he's struggling to see the field over the lines of 6'4"+ huge men in front of him. Reich used to talk about creating throwing lanes for Bryce to see through and holy poo... if you need throwing lanes now you've massively shrunk your opportunities. Now you're trying to play QB through a picket fence. If you watched him play at Bama, you saw him routinely drop back 10-15 yards behind the LOS to gain depth so that he could see over the scrum. You just can't do that routinely in the NFL. NFL pass rushers are just too good. Your OTs can't create that deep of a pocket.
    • This could be a breakout game for Kyle Pitts. I'm hoping for a miracle just so we have something to talk about besides the team sucking poo.
    • I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident.   I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.
