The Patriots scare us due to the coach and scar tissue, but the talent disparity between Buffalo and New England is pretty stark.

Yup.. LAC showed both why you wouldn’t mind playing them and why you absolutely don’t want to play them in single elimination last night.   Bonkers erratic, coach is a mess, elite/very good players all over the place, but after the elite/very good players the drop off is to all JAG’s or worse.

In the end, NE, @KC and then ??? is the path to the Super Bowl.

I don’t love playing KC in the second round if we get by NE, but they are definitely not the team we saw last year.  Both their Defense and Offense are worse.  Still, Mahomes is Mahomes and we will have to fight those demons of last season at Arrowhead in the Playoffs.  If we get by them, I think we’re going to the Super Bowl.

I’m obviously worried about NE.  Third time around.  Dealing with Belichick.   However, McDermott has the better roster, by a lot, and he has to win this game.  The only way he loses is if we turn the ball over and have stretches where we don’t execute and Belichick severely out coaches him.

Allen will likely be unleashed and that should open things up for us.   Singletary is running better, but we still don’t have a reliable traditional running game.  It’s respectable, but now that it’s Playoffs, Allen needs to continue to earn that contract.

Weather looks to be cold but light wind and minimal precip.  With our DL showing flashes lately, if we can get our passing game back on track, I like our chances in the Playoffs.
