Who you got? Patriots vs. Jags Yawn..... See you in the super bowl Brady and company. Patriots 42 Jags 24 Vikings vs. Eagles I was surprised the Eagles advanced last week. Matty "ice" should've won that game. Anyway, I still don't think foles can get them to the super bowl. Lady luck seems to be on the Vikings side. Vikings 31 Eagles 13
I'm well aware of the defense they have - It is very good. What are the tendencies of Zim on the road?
Zim has a more conservative approach on the road, he also tends to have a few questionable challenges as well as clock management/time out issues on the road.
I think the Eagles and Vikes game is a toss up. Turnovers or big plays on special teams could make the difference. The Vikings went 6-2 on the road this year, not exactly terrible.
Vikings wont be getting the same cushy PI calls in Philly that were going their way at home. And Case can only throw the ball up to nobody and have a vikings receiver magically come down with it so many times. The game for me is a toss up I wouldnt be surprised if either team wins. Both defenses are for real, both qb's average at best. I will pick vikings to win though. I will pick pats to win in a dog fight. Brady is going to get beat up in this game. I havent seen a defense as aggressive as the Jag's in a long time.
22 TD's and 7 picks. and way short of 4k yards passing. Has a good completion percentage and qb rating I guess. Those are very average numbers. That's why I called him an average qb. I don't dislike as a person or anything.
I see an upset with the Jags winning, everyone including the pats are expecting a win, (putting on conspiracy theory hat) the NFL wants 2 different teams with no SB wins (taking off conspiracy theory hat)
Pats Offense: 1st in points per drive 1st in yards per drive 1st in first downs per game Jags Defense: 1st in points per drive allowed 1st in yards per drive allowed 1st in first downs allowed per game Crazy.
We get it...you hate the Vikings which you should as a Packer fan. But I think your being just a little silly with some of your comments. The one pass I can recall from Case that was to nobody and was caught was actually a bad interception he threw in the 3rd quarter. If you are referring to some of the great catches Thielen made I would imagine he was named to the Probowl for a reason? He can go get the ball. I remember some calls that went against both teams.
I'd love to see Jags beat Pats but just doesn't seem very probably to me. You never know though if their defense comes to play?
You may be right that Case is no better than an average QB as the sample size of him playing well is small. But his performance (14 starts) this season compares favorably with that of Drew Brees if you look at their numbers on a per start basis. This comparison was actually made by Aikman and Buck during their game.
No team is going to sneak up on the Pats Bill will always expect to win because his team and the coaches are prepped. Best coached team in the NFL.
I’ll take a top offense in the playoffs over a top defense any day of the week. The patriots are not dismissing the jags at all. (more intelligence than the Steelers) not sure where you heard that from. it’s going to be a close game. Covering Gronk is easier said than done, he will overpower a safety or corner back all day, and out run the middle linebacker just the same. Imagine if we had Edelman healthy?

You might want to check the Pats D rating in the years that the Pat's won the SB before you dismiss the importance of defense.
