This may sound crazy

Am I missing something? Under what scenario would the Patriots play in San Diego in the playoffs?

No and none.

I think perhaps your sentence structure is faulty and you mean the Chargers could beat them even in Foxboro, right?

Beat them on their own turf meant beat the pats at their house
How could you think I meant otherwise? They are 15-0.

 

[theebs]

I agree, let me add the Jags as another team that is capable of beating the Pats in the playoffs.

Jax is the flavor of the month just like pittsburgh was.

I will say this once, Jax and the way they play defense, they have no chance to beat the pats.

None, zip, nada.

If they win I wont come here for a month.

all that matters is new england and indy.

"The way they play defense"? Why do you say that?

I think the Jags could do it. Garrard almost has a little Romo moxie in him, and he can run. I think a running QB is something that could really hurt the Pats. They're one of the few teams that can overpower the Pats.

I'd say the Colts could too, because I think Addai is one of the very best and very underrated. I just think Freeny is a huge loss for them. If they don't get Harrison back full speed, forget it.

I think the colts can beat them for sure.

I absolutely think new england would give jax a beat down.

I say that because they are a traditional 4-3 team and they really dont have the pass rushers on the end to generate pressure, that means when new england spreads them out 3 or 4 wide, they will go nickel or another odd set and put even less pressure on brady.

Indy can do it because they are going to score on new england and maybe alot.

Jax went to new england in 05 with essentially the same team and looked horrible. Now they would have to go their and defend that offense.

No way no how.

There is this thought that New england isnt physical and it is ridiculous. After jax is tense and punts once or twice, they will be down 7, 10 or 14-0 I think and at that point what is jax "physical" play going to do? They simply can not score enough and they will not force enough pressure without selling out.

Just my opinion.

Its all about Indy @ New England and if the weather is good, for the first time all year I would be worried if I were a pats fan.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

The difference is that now they have Jones-Drew and even more important, Garrard is playing better than Leftwich ever did.

I mean, the Pats will be favored and probably favored big against anyone they play. But if the premise is that the weather is bad and the Pats can't throw it every down -- like they've had trouble doing some lately -- I like the Jags. They run it and are very strong up front. It's pretty hard to ignore those repeated drives when the awful Ravens pounded it right down their throats.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

The Jags may scare me more than any team out there. The Pats may get the fortune of the Jags and Colts playing each other in the playoffs before they face them, though. The Jags has a super strong running game and a QB that doesn't turn the ball over too much and can make plays. Their defense is probably solid enough to keep the Pats to around 28 points or so.

all that running the ball is great, all the gerrard doesnt throw int is great.

Against the pats you have to deviate from what you do and no matter how well you run the ball you have to throw the ball, you have to throw it into tight spots in crucial times of the game. No one has been able to do that yet. I dont think Jax has any chance to do that.

No way gerrard goes to foxborough and makes big throws in that game.

and its funny cause There really is no chance jax goes to new england anyway. THey have a mental hangup with indy. They always have one or two bad possesions and the colts then score and they dont have the ability to score in bunches quick and comeback. So most likely they will never get to New England.

 

[CATCH17]

Im lovin the Chargers more and more.

Jags are lookin dangerous too.

 

[Fmart322]

don't know hww that shellacking didn't stick in my head...but my point is that the Pats are not as invincible (especially in January) as the mediots make them out to be. Sallas, Indy and Jax have faced much more competition and that will be invaluable in a tight playoff game. We still have yet to see Randy Moss pout if his team gets down and he is not getting the ball (which I think could happen). I think Moss = Charles Barkley: great player but will somehow never win the big one. At least I am trying to convince myself of that.

I think the Pats can get beat in the post season to. I just couldn't think any Cowboys fan would forget how the Skins got smoked 55-7

 

[HogsRLegends]

I have had the Jags as a sleeper team for a while now. I think they can beat anyone.

They have a solid D, a smart QB, and a good running game.

Playoffs will be interesting.

They lost to the Colts 29-7. They are nowhere close to the Pats and Colts.

 

[The Panch]

They lost to the Colts 29-7. They are nowhere close to the Pats and Colts.

And then they went into Indy with a rematch and lost by a field goal. They're getting better.

 

[ndanger]

The Jaguars can run the ball and play in inclement weather. Hell yeah, they can beat the Pats, AND in Foxboro I might add. The road to the SB in the AFC is going to be a pretty tough battle, because all the teams seem to be coming on as of late, with the exception of the Patriots who have struggled as of late.

Rememeber also, the Colts didn't have Marvin Harrison when they played the Patriots and Gonzales has been stepping up his game ever since.

Didn't Gonzales also go out in the second quarter of that game?

see ya in a couple months then..take it easy.

 

[theebs]

so your going on record saying that jax is going to beat new england.

I would bet everything I have on the pats in that first round, especially if its jax.

like i said If I am wrong I wont come here for a month.

although I am not sure what that proves and it is pretty stupid!

 

[dogberry]

theebs, why should I be punished if you are wrong. I like to read your stuff. Eat some broccoli if you are mistaken. All will then be well with the world.

[TheHerd]

Guys, everyone thinking the Pats are gonna choke at home in the playoffs is dreaming.

Rivers and Garrard will be baffled by Belichick just as they've always been.

And Indy can't win in NE in late January.

It's up to us fellas. And we're gonna do it in Arizona. That's fine with me.

I agree with Dogberry... don't remove yourself from this forum just because you guessed wrong about a playoff game.

If Jax does beat NE... simply admit that you were wrong and then continue posting your normal, terrific posts that you always do.

You're too valuable a member to have you miss a month.

Let HogsRLedgends miss a month if you're wrong.

 

[Kilyin]

While the Patriots have looked very good in the regular season...they got 6 very easy wins by virtue of playing in the worst division in football. Every NFC East teams they faced had legitimate chances of winning.

I guess you didn't see the Cheats play the Commanders? As much as I hate both teams, that was still fun to watch.

 

[CATCH17]

I've been calling it for a few weeks now

If the Chargers and Patriots play each other in the playoffs I believe the Chargers will beat them on their own turf.

Karma is going to come back to haunt the Patriots for last year as they danced all over the Chargers field.

There is bad blood between those 2 teams and I honestly think no team hates the Patriots as much as the Chargers currently do.

Plus the 2 teams are almost in reversed rolls. Chargers were the best AFC team last year when the Playoffs started. Patriots are this year.

Uh oh will my prediction come through????????????????????

Everyone was loving the Jags as their dark horse. I liked the Chargers and still do.

If the Chargers ever figure out how good they really are they will start killing teams.
