Defense still wins.

Patriots don't play well against good tackling teams. I don't think they can beat any of the remaining teams.

says who? you mean b/c they didn't go undefeated this year?

Welker, Gronk, Hernadez simply will make you look like a bad tackling team. They create matchup problems. No matter what an opposing D does there are going to be mismatches for Brady to pick you apart with.

They got easily the best QB left in the playoffs. By a country mile.

If NE's offense is on it's game......no one left can hang w/ them.

Unless they get to the quarterback with the rush and put on a decent coverage with man to man.

The patriots don't have a decent run game this year.

Just follow the gameplan laid out by the Steelers.

If anything these games prove that having a pass rush is easily the most important part of the defense. It allows corners to play tight and not being worried about being burned deep and makes your defense look significantly better than it actually is.

Green Bay and NY lost because their opponents kept fumbling the ball.. the real lesson is dont turn the ball over and that lesson is nothing new

Broncos, Cowboys, Bills, Oak.....those are some of the better tackling teams in the NFL.

They beat them. They just CURBSTOMPED the Broncos and ran through them like they were a wet paper bag. Denver is a good tackling team. One of the lowest missed tackle % in the NFL.

lol, Patriots haven't been concerned about the run in years. They don't need it.

2 things. Brady has dominated the Steelers through out his career therefore the Steelers don't have the blueprint. Even a blind squirrel gets the nut on occassion. The Steelers finally getting a 8 pt win isn't the blueprint. NE makes adjustments.....what works once won't work again.

Also, saying someone other than Cam Newton is great doesn't mean someone has a "boner for them". I seriously doubt I have ever made a post about Tom Brady on these boards before. But dude is as good as it gets......while the league has been busy talking about Rodgers/Brees.....Brady has quietly remained the best QB in the game.
