^ Yup, it's amazing what the Pats offense can do. As long as the O-line can protect the QB, the Pats offense will just pick you completely apart. They've done it over and over and over again.

Ryan Clark just said it perfect: When setting up to run the play, Brady had already "read KC's mail". He saw what they were doing and knew exactly who/where he was going with it.

The Rams are going to HAVE to pressure/hit Brady a lot. If they allow the Pats to chew up a bunch of clock on long scoring drives, welp, it'll be over.

**btw: Remember in early September when the Pats got throttled by the Jags and then lost to the Lions the very next week? I recall Romo/Nantz saying at the end of the Jags game that "Regarding the Patriots, we've seen this early season struggle before and then they're playing at the end of the year,, we'll probably see it again." They knew, as did we all.

The Pats just beat 2 of the best teams this season to advance to yet another SB. They throttled the Chargers and beat the Chiefs in their own stadium to advance. And really, they would've dominated KC if it wasn't for some dumb/unfortunate mistakes to keep the Chiefs in it.
- INT in the end zone when they were at the goal line to try and go 14-0 on their second drive (it would've been 21-0 at half if not for that)
- Edelman's tipped up INT (after his muffed punt replay) giving the Chiefs excellent field position to score in the 4th
- Pats going for it on 4th and inches while they were already in easy FG range and up 17-14,, they turn it over on downs.

Chiefs were lucky to be in a position to win it, IMO.

Hate the Pats all you want, and I am one that has hated for a long time. But, they are just dang impressive time and again when it really matters.
Beat the Chiefs and Chargers to get to another SB. Geezus
