Big game this weekend.
Interesting battle of coaches. Belichick - perhaps the greatest NFL head coach of all time - against Sean McVay - young guy who everyone has a lot of confidence in but is mostly unproven.
Win or lose, McVay has a lot of years left to prove whatever. And Belichick needs to prove nothing at this point. But still, its the old guard vs the new.
I think the victory will go to the Patriots though. And I don't think it will be very close.
Other story lines include
the QB match-up but I don't think anyone expects Goff to be the player TB12 is (like him or not). I think Brady v Breeze would be more interesting - two older guys, two very smart guys. They say defense wins championships. But I think its QB smarts as much as anything. Of course in football, anything can happen.
Is Gronk about to retire? Is this his swan-song? Will be interesting to watch him play this week as well.
Will be fun to see Donald trying to get pressure on TB. I think that's the only way to hope to neutralize him. He may say he has trained his brain to resist concussions, but I think the age has got him a little skittish about taking hits the last few years.
Looking forward to a good game. I have good friend who is a die-hard Saints fan. He says if the Rams win, he is buying a Saints-Championship shirt. I'd like to see him wear such a thing so that makes me pull for the Rams. Yet McVay has gotten enough love for one year. This Chiefs fan can't decide who to pull for.
