Eh, the Chiefs absolutely should have beat New England in the AFC title game if they could have have stopped just one white guy on a half dozen critical 3rd downs.

The Pats will obviously be a tough out as long as Brady and BB are there, but it's not like they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

I think we'll see a rematch with Kansas City.

America's team vs the Patriots

Fuck man somebody is going to have to build a team specifically to beat the Patriots but I don't know where you start. Lots of good tall DBs?

The blueprint to beating Brady (really any great QB) has always been the same: get pressure with 4, make him feel you, and be physical with the receivers to disrupt their short, timing routes. Don't blitz (at least not predictably), and, for the love of god, don't sit back in zone.

The scheme is easy; having the personnel to execute it is more challenging.

Will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh reacts to this.  They've been pointing to this game for a long time and are just getting their shit handed to them, again.
They lost their 2 best players on offense. They tried to minimize this and how great their system is. But they aren't close to the Pats and Big Ben is nothing like Brady. They needed Bell and Brown to be competitive.

Pats have adjusted for this since Brady got beaten up by Denver in the AFC championship a few years ago.  McDaniels revamped the offense to orient the passing game where a majority of the (pass) play calls were / are underneath w/ Brady would having the ball out in just a matter of seconds.  (See James White, Burkhead, etc).  Pats just don't run a lot of pass plays now to expose Brady to holding the ball real long.  We'll see how that changes with Brown in the mix now.   But they'll adapt as needed.  The idea of "pressuring" Brady now is really NA.  The Pats simply don't allow teams to do it.

If I were a Patriots fan I’d be thrilled Brady has Gordon and possibly Brown (if he keeps his shit in line with the Patriot “way”) to throw to. I’m not a Pats fan. Maybe I should be. If Brady plays like this the whole year he will win MVP. Also his division is a dumpster fire. Like which team is gonna give the Pats a hard time? The Jets? Miami? Maybe the Bills?

Yeah that helps having shit teams in the division. I used to think it would make the Texans better too but they find a way to suck. AFC South is weak top to bottom.

Why would the Dolphins want to get zero for them?

I agree, the franchise wouldn't want to lose all of that incredible roster equity...maybe.

 

I get your point, but the players need to STFU and play.
