I would not be all that confident about my team. While the offense looked good it was largely due to no pressure on Brady. The running game was non existent, they seem one dimensional. The real problem is thier porous defense. The only time they really stopped the Jags is when Gerrard fumbled. They seemed to move the ball at will. I think the strain of trying to go undefeated is showing on some of the older players. The only thing Harrison was good for was laying late cheap shots. Next week should be interesting.

The running game was non existent? What game were you watching? Maroney rushed for 122 yards with a TD, and if you watch the Pats the little screen plays are just another way to run the ball. Also if you watched them all season you saw that the defense has been soft definetly, but they stopped the run which they were not doing all season long. Held Taylor and Jones to 66 yards but I would agree that the secondary sucks. Its when they cant stop the run that really gets them in trouble.

i agree w/ killa, i thought pats ran the ball well last night. Give Jags credit for their success through the air on offense. Nobody was able to stop them all year on the ground nd the Pats kept them in check rushing but Garrard was able to find plenty of open receivers. Pats gameplan was to limit the run and force Garrard to beat them through the air. He played very well, just not as well as Brady. Pats obviously find a way to win games. I love the Colts plus 7 next week but do think the Pats scratch out a close one. If it's any less then 7 i'm off the game

Really BradPiff did you cover last night? Hows your team done against the spread in the last eight games? You did not cover five I like those odds any day of the "weak". I am not saying the Patriots have not been awesome they have. I am saying that they are not the same team in the second half as they were the first, it seems like they are beatable I could not believe how wide open some of the Jag receivers were. You did not see that in the first half. Just making converstaion, stick your head in the sand if you like. BTW I was on the Pats too last night.

i think the only concern should be the def. They did allow Jax to hang around in a game where their defense was severly over matched. Wont be able to beat indy like that because they will at least make a handfull of stops

Harrison makes a huge difference I know he is good for one or two stupid cheap shots but i d take him on my team any day for the other things he creates. He finished the game by stepping in front of the garard pass

the patriots struggle vs teams with big offensive lines ... hence jacksonville, philly, baltimore... some haters are "just dumb"... Sd or indy will be tough but new england will win SU... ATS last 5 games who the F* cares the spreads are rediculous... wait until halftime and bet the second half..... Also the defense did look suspect however ellis hobbs was definetely hurt.. gay is a nickle back not a starting corner.... Bring on the cold weather next weekend .. 7 day forcast 29 degrees sunny... i want worse

so let me get this straight - pats fans should be worried and should not be that confident......................because they didnt cover the spread?
a 31-20 playoff win is pretty impressive. especially since there were a lot of people saying the jags might win, and control the clock with the running game, etc, etc.
the jags kept it close for a half. i wasnt really worried about this game at any point though. it was an excellent coached game - the jags brought a 3 man rush, so NE just ran it and did screen passes. and del rio didnt adjust to it all game, since he didnt want Moss to burn them.
if the pats covered, would your opinion be different?

Pats' are still the frontrunner to win it all, but what your seeing is a defensive unit that was hidden by their offence all year long, that's why the defensive stats are skewed for this team. NE blew teams out of the water early on, especially early in games, that in turn made opposing offences one dimensional, that NE defence could tee off more on teams just playing catch up.
It hid the fact that this team is suspect against the run, and can be carved up in the middle of the field. Jacksonville moved the ball pretty much at will yesterday, their problem was they stopped scoring td's and NE didn't in that 2nd half, and they stayed in that base prevent defense for far too long.
The recipe to beat the Pats is run the ball, and run the ball some more, and make life miserable for pretty boy Tom, yesterday he had enough time to throw the ball and bake a cake.
All in all they still are the team to beat, if Indy handles their business today(as they should), that game will be the most compelling of the entire playoffs.

I would be scared as hell of the Green Bay Packers!
Packers are gonna roll...
I have to agree, I think if the pack can come up with a solid defensive gameplan, then this would be a fantastic game....I think with KGB and kampman, they would be able to put the pressure on brady that jax couldn't.....brady had so much time last night it was ridicuolus.....I thought that was the only problem with jax, they didn't blitz enough. They did a great job of everything else but they gave brady too much time.
I think that the pack have the offense to keep up with the pats and with the way the pats played "defense" last night, I don't know who they willl stop.
Next week should be a game for the ages (if the colts win).

The Jags were the only team that had any chance of winning against the Pats. They were playing the best ball coming into the playoffs other than the pats. Garrard goes under the radar and their running game is one of the best in the NFL.
No way the NFC can beat the Pats and with the Colts being banged up they won't hang with them in Foxboro. If the Chargers pull it out no way that redneck Rivers can beat them as he will have to throw to win.

I made the cover comment because BradPiff said he sould love to be my bookie. I don't think I dissed the Pats anywhere in my comments. Just some observations.

It's always a good time watching your team play. The potential NE/GB matchup would be great...2 finely-tuned offenses, two great QB's, two smart head-coaches...I hope I get to see it.
And, no offense, but I believe the Pack could turn your dream season into an 18-1. Start thinking about it, that's all I'm sayin...

1) Patriots running game was key last night, nice to see you didn't even watch the game
2) Randy Moss was not a factor and they still won by 11
3) The defense was without Eugene Wilson & Ellis Hobbs was not starting last night
4) Rodney Harrison has recorded an interception in his last four playoff games, tying an NFL record
5) Covering means shit, as a Patriots fan, as long as they win, I'm happy
6) They forced the Jags to punt before half. They held the Jags to 6 points in the 2nd Half, saying they couldnt stop the Jags offense is fucken ridiculous
I'm so tired of idiots going off on the Patriots when they have no clue what they're talking about. Look, the Patriots have had the same thing happen to them ever since the game they came back from the Bye. Teams get so excited that they could knock off the Pats, that they come out flying in the first half and keep it close. New England holds back and keeps it close, then in the 2nd Half, the opposing team gets exhausted from over-exerting themselvers and they fall part. It happens every single game.
You should really learn the game of football before you open your mouth and make yourself look like a complete moron
