I hope they can win! All those years beating teams with more talent then them ( 2002 rams) and the high powered colts teams of the past, they have a shot. That rams team was one of the greatest football teams ever. Number one on offense and number 3 on total defense. Faulk was a monster then to boot. Bill coached that win.With Bill, Brady and that defense it could be done. You cannot ignore Brady's 11 - 1 post season record. San D is one hell of a team. We all know that. They are a amazing team actually. But, they said the pats would never beat the rams, would never overcome that steelers d, could never beat the high powered colts. The Pats may lose this game. But, to say that have no chance is ludicrous. Historic proof proves otherwise.
Marty and his 5 and 12 playoff record (with teams that are 12+ win regular season ) give the Pats a shot. Rivers has struggled, and is untested in the playoffs. If anyone can SLOW LT down it is Wilfork, Warren, Seymour and the rest of the d. Check out the kc and bills games from this year. It can be done! Will it? Maybe not, but I am proud where this team is considering the amount of superbowls they have won, and playing in the salary cap/free agent/pre madona player era! 13 and 4 ain't to shabby in the AFC.
I am not delusional. I know what the pats are up against. But, with the history Bill and Tom have against teams with massive talent, and the defensive capabilities this team can muster. I believe they have a ligit shot to win this ball game.
You are into curling?
