‘LOT to like with New England’ 👀 How GOOD could the Patriots be this year? | SVPod

I can certainly imagine that there’s an argument to be made AFC side of the best win. And if you’re a Patriot fan and you say, “Uh, pardon me.” Good to go into I still call it Rich Stadium in my mind. Orchard Park and beat that team the way they did with Drake May and a focused and fiery Stfan Diggs. and a schedule that is lightlifting the rest of the way. Easiest schedule in the National Football League from here until the end. That’s just the quintessential Vable victory. Yep. You and I have made it clear we love him. But for a guy that you want to look at cuz he’s at he’s full the mezzanine the lower deck full game dip. Yeah, he might be a Zen guy now. Huh? I think he’s a Zen guy. I’ve post game. I don’t know, dude. I’ve been on the receiving end of some hot dip breath. That’s what I was saying. Way back. That was prezens. Whatever it is, you want to if you look at that guy and think defensive end and backer, hybrid, meatthead. It’s a brilliant football guy that knows the ex knows this how to run the operation. It was clockwork calling timeouts, waiting until there’s 18 seconds left because he knows we can run this many plays and make sure they have no time left. And the way they ran it at the end to ensure that, okay, we can make this field goal, but we cannot give Allen the ball back with more than a handful of seconds. It was masterclass from Brabel. And with a light schedule and May playing like that in that stage, there’s a lot to like with New England. Of course, it’s the quarterback is real. The head coach is going to have you. I can’t believe how much youth is on that team. The defense, I’m like, “Oh, that’s so and so from there and there.” There’s a lot of young dudes on that team. I was so confident in the Patriots. Scott, we walked in to watch the games in Florida with the Monday night crew and I walked in at one o’clock Sunday. I’m like, “If anybody wants to win money tonight, take the Patriots money line.” And they all looked at me like I was nuts. Our guy Perilin researcher, he’s a Patriots fan. He’s like, “Don’t do this to me.” I’m like, “They are going to go in there. This is perfect for Vrabel. Go in there.” I told uh I I said it’s not a factor in the game. The Bills don’t want any of this undefeated stuff. Just works out perfectly. New England goes in there and wins. Buffalo refocus. And uh boy, the turnovers in that how many times it went back to back. Uh but New England’s ability to stay in it. It’s nice to see a motivated Stfan Diggs. He seemed invested completely. Yeah. He had a a four-year run with Buffalo. felt like longer cuz they were really good and he was a led the NFL in receiving yards and re and receptions there. Um coming off an injury, slow start to the season, actually had a 100 yard receiving game before uh before Sunday night, but then it was clear they looked to the very first pass of the game went to Digs and then I kept waiting to see how are how is Buffalo going to like it was mostly Zidarius on him 27. Um, I felt like it was mostly him and Diggs did work. 10 grabs, buck 46, but it was the off schedule stuff where they were both on the same page. Like anytime we talk about Mahomes, he’s an absolutely ruthless killer when plays break down and it’s him and Kelsey constantly, right? Ad libbing. Never more so than against Buffalo AFC Championship game. Do it. Do it. getting that play that got him the field goal that tied the game. Uh, obviously we’re talking years ago, but the ability of Diggs and May to add lib the way they did and be in sync on the same page was was wild to see because it hasn’t been there a long time. But it’s exciting for for New England if that’s if that’s the digs that still is in him. Did you see the clip of Teddy and Woody on Get Up saying, “We’re back.” I did not. It’s great. And everybody’s just like, “Good no, there’s still plenty.” I just love it because it brings out people’s hatred. Rex Rex is just sitting on the desk. He’s like, “I liked when we didn’t have to talk about the Patriots.” And Teddy and Woody are just sitting there laughing.
