In regards to your question, if the patriots played the broncos I think the patriots would win, brady has owned the defense and I think belichick would come up with something for manning, however for some reason I feel that if the patriots played the ravens in the playoffs it could get ugly, they can run the ball and have shown that they can contain the patriots offense on occasion, your response

I think a Broncos-Patriots re-match would likely be a shootout and whichever team made the clutch plays late in the fourth quarter would win. I like the Patriots chances, but you couldn’t write off the Broncos especially at home.

As for the Ravens, we’ll get a great preview in a couple weeks. I think back-to-back road games at Miami and Baltimore is just what this Patriots team needs. It’s two more experiences in hostile environments and this team hasn’t exceeded in those kind of places in recent years.

I think the Ravens are a good defense, but are they the same defense that didn’t fear Brady? Not really. I think Lewis and Reed were on their last legs last year, but they knew how to play Brady. Not sure Baltimore is still that defense. We’ll get a chance to see, at least once.
