football knowledge

Gifted wrapped those 14 pts.. thanks to Cyrus Jones and Matthew Slater.

If Jimmy Smith's ankle doesnt roll up the Patriots dont score 30 ?? He is no Pat Peterson, Richard Sherman, Chris Harris, Talib, Butler, Peters or any other CB of that caliber. Heck, Earl Thomas IS of that caliber db for SEA and GB STILL would have blown out GB just based off of the way they played.. with that being said Tom Brady still would have scored 30 points and one player thats not even elite doesn't prevent 3 TDs and 400 yards. Additionally, 14 pts were gifted wrapped to you guys that is the only reason this was barely even a game.

You guys will win because Pitts defense is butt and Cincy is a fraud as usual.. I can say as a pats fan Balt has the most recent success and best staff in the division.. Suggs, Smith, Dumervil, Flacco, Wallace.. alot of veteran leadership thats important.. you all will be fine

Plenty and thats a plus

Belichick is not about statlines, he is about wins... who won the last 2 contests between the two teams?? ?

I would continue to talk football but the simple fact that you guys are arguing Joe Flacco over Tom Brady gives me validation that your fanerism overrides your competence of football. Not a personal shot, but more of an opinion and observation. Tom Brady 22 Post season wins most ever by a QB, 3 Superbowl MVPs most ever by a QB tied with Joe Montana, 2 League MVPs the only other QB along with Joe to have multiple League and Superbowl MVPs, 4 Time NFL TD passing leader, 2 Time NFL passing yardage leader, Career passer rating of 97 all time 4th all time, 4th all time passing yardage only behind Peyton, Favre and Brees, 201 wins passed Peyton for most wins ever by a QB, on the verge of his 8th straight division title which would be the first QB to do so, holds the record for largest margin of victory ever since the AFL merger beating Titans 59-0, Only QB to go 16-0 during the regular season, best season ever recorded by a QB in 2007, Superbowl passer rating record, Most Superbowl Appearances by a QB tied with Elway with 6, 6 AFC Conference Championships, 11 Pro bowls, 4th highest passer rating ever recorded in a season, highest passer rating ever recorded in a single game 158, tied with Peyton Manning for the most ever AFC players of the week, broke all of Peytons passing records in 2007, fastest player ever to get to 100 wins breaking Joe Montana's record, top 5 all time in touchdown passes, top 5 all time in comebacks and game winning drives, 2016 passer rating of 113, 19 TDs to just 1 pick, 68 completion percentage, 8.2 yards per completion, only sacked 10 times, League MVP Candidate 3 years in a row, averages only 4 losses a year, post season 14 seasons,.... I can keep going but my fingers are tired...

Tom Brady - 19 TDs to just 1 int, 201 wins, 68.9 completion percentage, 113 passer rating higest in the league, MVP candidate, and 6-0 at home versus number 1 defenses and this Ravens defense is supposed to be better than those other number 1s with a 7-5 record? Wasn't Cleveland up on you guys at one point? ... and lets compare Blount to Ajayi before someone stepped on his toes as well.. Blount is 2nd in scoring with 13 TDs only behind David Johnson, 957 yards to Ajayi's 908, 4.2 yards per carry with the #6 rushing offense.. Dillon-esque... Additionally to the person who said that Steve Smith is a better receiver than Edelman is slot... STOP IT.. Jules was the real SB MVP vs Seattle in the big game and even missing a few games/injured he still has over 700 yds receiving and 8th in the league in receptions with 72.. and is one of the top 5 rated slot guys in the league and has been for the last few years now... and if Hogan is a nobody then how come he has one of the league's highest yards per reception count.. by the way, let me finish up with Brady averaging 308 yards per game, and #4 in passing 26 pts per game... but I'll stop right here

Its true tho lol

A better squad?? Are you serious ? Bill Belichick over Harbaugh by a mile Tom Brady over Fluko by a mile Martellus Bennett over Dennis Pitta Blount over any back you have Chris Hogan over Mike on trick pony Wallace (almost 1,000 yards because he is the only receiver you guys have, Aiken is aight we dropped him) Malcolm Mitchell rising star Dion Lewis in the passing game over any back you have James White in the passing game over any back you have Julian Edelman over any receiver you have, especially the slot Our offensive line, Mason, Solder. Thuney, Andrews and Cannon blast. Defensively I'll give you that.. but the stat sheet has us I believe at #2 in pts allowed.. Lay off the sauce

It doesn't matter what patriots.com says, we all know its a tough match up for the Patriots but what boggles my mind is how the Patriots are supposed to be "scared and shaking" when they are as successful as they are and 10-2 facing a team thats 7-5 respectfully.. I mean lets be honest.. one week of turning on the switch after facing a Miami team doesn't suddenly make you world beaters despite having the number 1 defense after weeks prior of shaky play. The only thing you want to hear is how the Patriots should struggle when thats completely ridiculous being they have the best current record in the AFC. And all Im saying is how on BOTH teams it will be a good game and test for BOTH clubs. And Im giving you guys props.. but again for you to desire to hear only how you guys will present problems for a team that has a better record, better coach, better quarterback and better past, present and recent resume is utterly insane.. lets enjoy a good contest between TWO good clubs

Malcolm Mitchell and Chris Hogan are very good playmakers and are quickly on the rise for us.. as we have a type of offense that doesn't focus on receiver numbers like other offenses do.. ours is about match ups and opportunities and our receiving corps his highly intelligent, buys into the system, and masterful route runners with strong hands in traffic and fantastic chemistry with Tom Brady... but again outside of Gronk we dont really advertise our weapons... Dion Lewis is getting healthy and starting to look like he did last season.. and James White.. both guys are excellent receivers out of the backfield that we feel can beat most if not all linebackers... and Bennett, he has been underachieving yes, but he has a switch and when it goes off he is as good as anyone in the league at the TE position, we just need it to go off... so the threat is still there.. not to mention Edelman one of the leagues best in the slot and Blount who is having a career season.. and last but not least Tom Brady, physically in better shape than what he has ever been in.. .. dont get me wrong I respect you guys and this is fun football debate between sports fans (doesn't have to be serious, its pure fun we all love the game) but please recognize that we have plenty of weapons still with the two best ever calling the shots.... I assure you as great as your defense is.. I know it, and you know it if you play like you have before the Miami game and not your best it will be a long night.. just the way it is... reason why we are 10-2 and the number 1 seed... good luck and enjoy the game!

Tom Brady is 6-0 at home against #1 ranked defenses pre and post Gronk

After Monday night I can't wait to see "that football knowledge guy he was right...." lol watch.. I always do it to you guys ..

How and they are 10-2? Have the number 2 rated defense, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick?.. that was a very assanine statement considering their track record, success, present day success, and ability to overcome injury. .and much better record.. "dont see us loosing this game".. you must be blind high worse than method and redman

LeGarrette Blount is having a career year and at 1,000 yards and like 3rd in rushing..Dion Lewis is starting to look healthy and like himself again (dynamic in open field and passing game), James White is also one of the league's best receiving backs... Martellus Bennett is always a threat and Chris Hogan and Malcolm Mitchell look like they are rising stars... and of course Edelman in the slot will always present a lot of problems for defense... plus even with Gronk, Tom Brady is Tom Brady and an MVP Candidate who just accomplished 201 wins, most ever by a QB that some how gets overlooked... still in my mind the best team in the conference... especially with Tom at QB and Bill Belichick driving the ship .. that staff is unbelievable and the defense... like 2nd overall in pts allowed, nothing misleading about that.. the numbers are there to show for it.... Baltimore has a tough task ... Flacco looked excellent vs Miami by the way and that rush defense with Suggs and co is the real deal... good game coming up
