It never ENDS well. Losing to the Dolphins today @Foxboro is a huge Red Flag

The Patriots lose to Miami like every year.

lol its a red flag but not in the way youre thinking.

they are still going to SB.

the defense will still dominate. Broncos/Manning won and they supposedly appeared far worse on offense.

Ravens wont get past Bills to begin with. 

So you are seeing New England beating Tennessee this weekend? It has to happen before Patriots have the legit chance to play against Ravens in the AFC Championship two weekends from this Saturday.     

Tom and Bill? Relax one game at a time boys and don't be fooled by what the league does best..... deception.

Tannehill never beat the Patriots in Foxborough in his career (0-6) with Miami (2012-2018). Now he is in a different system surrounded by a different supporting cast. He has had a very good year...no question. 

I wonder about his 'clutch factor' though...3 weeks ago, he faced the Houston Texans in Nashville for the Southern division lead and he was shutout in the first half. To my eyes in that time frame his play looked herky jerky...to his credit he brought them back in the second half to tie the game up at 14-14 but when Watson forged the Texans into a 10 point lead Mr. T didn't respond though he did lead them to a late garbage td but the game wasn't as close as the final score. 

Without Derrick Henry the following week the Titans still ran for 149 yards against New Orleans but they just couldn't keep up with Brees...no shame in that loss...though it did show that the Titans could be thrown on. Not a Patriot strength at the moment for sure. 

No secret that the Pats will put in defensive schemes to shutdown the Titans' run attack (that is what the evil wizard does)...if successful and it comes down to Tannehill performing in his first ever playoff game, how will he respond? 

I get a feeling that the moment in time will be too big for Tannehill...Peyton and Big Ben had their house of horror games in Foxborough in the playoffs so no shame in that really. A mere 10 days ago, the Pats beat a very good Bills team at home by a score. 

These Patriot grave diggers remind me of a Mark Twain response when he was told that there were rumors that he had died:

"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." 

I think youre right but I will wait a week for the Patriots to lose to a team that should beat them.  Belichick will find a way to beat this 9 win team.  Pats have 12 wins I not so ready to fade them this week.

The Patriots were 135-1 at Home when leading by 4 points or more in 4th quarter since 2001... The Dolphins loss makes it 135-2 ..

 The first loss was in 2017 to the Chiefs on opening night. . 

 I still think the Pats win this weekend but lose to the Chiefs but will see..
