Game Thread - Wildcard- Jacksonville V New England (1 Viewer)

I don't think a 12-4 team should have been as ignored as the Jags have been this week by the national media and totally written off as a borderline forfeit to NE, but the teams they whipped up on down the stretch were a joke -- STL, HOU, BAL, TEN, ARI, CLE, SF, HOU, TEN -- and I don't think they have a shot tonight in Gillette. 34-13 Pats.

 
Didnt the pats beat up on the Jets and Bills? Its not as clean cut as you may think. Glad the Jags made it to this game and if Leftwich can hold his own its going to be a hell of a ballgame. 20-17 Jags.SOS(Jags wins) .375SOS(Pats wins) .400Take from that what you will. They both played great schedules.

34-13 Pats.
34 points? They haven't given up more than 28 points all year.
 
This Jags team is one of the quietest 12-4 teams in recent memory. With the Colts, Steelers, Titans, Eagles, Raiders, and Rams, you had an idea of what kind of team they were. This Jags team has not gotten ANY press at all.

Reminds me a bit of how Texas was treated before the Rose Bowl -- heck, ESPN had already annointed USC as one of the greatest college teams in history before the game. I haven't seen one person give the Jags nod, it's almost assumed the Pats will roll them. I wonder...
 
Berman waxing poetic about Bruschi. I will now stick the whole shotgun barrel into my mouth and work the trigger with my toe.

I'm confused about this post. I'm pretty sure that the Jags didnt play the raiders or the eagles or maybe i just misunderstood the post.

This is from a Pats fan's perspective. The teams I mentioned are teams the Pats have played in the playoffs.I am just saying, the Jags are getting ZERO talk. That is the scariest part. All other teams we faced, we were doubted somehow. Not the with Jags. Everyone is annointing us to play the Colts or Broncos next week.

This is my #1 concern in this game - the Pats have never come out flat in a playoff game before, but it's very possible tonight. Glad it's in Foxboro.
 
Patriots win coin toss, electing to receive. It's 28 degrees before the wind chill, and it will get colder as it gets later.

 
Brady just did a quick snap to catch Jacksonville with too many men on the field. Reminded me of when P. Manning did that and this board was filled with Patriot whiners complaining about it.

 
When I saw the ball being hiked to Adam, I was sinking in my chair thinking "the center just hiked it to the wrong guy, we really ####ed that one up"

It was a good call, I think. The Jags offense is weak. So, if the Patriots can control field position, it should be worth more than a 46 yard field goal attempt.Edit: Jags go 3 and out. Patriots get the ball back at the Jags 43. It worked.

Isn't it taught in QB 101 that if you're outside of the pocket and all of your recievers are covered that you throw it out of bounds and NOT take the sack?

 
before the game started, they said there was very little wind.with Viniateri, how do you not try a 47yd FG there? guy is supposed to be the best clutch kicker in NFL history.

Hmmm...Just presenting a hypothetical situation here, but how much would it take to get Brady to throw a game? 10 mil?
