If the Pats want to beat the Green Bay Packers they need to score touchdowns and not kick field goals. If we see a lot of Stephen Gostkowski on Sunday night it will not be a good thing.
I am looking for a much better performance from Tom Brady. He made some good throws, but at some times he looked like he might want to retire.
Brady needs to be on point on Sunday night and I think he will be. The media has been creating this narrative that Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. That is simply false.
Brady is the best quarterback of all-time. Rodgers may be a top 10 QB in NFL history. I expect Brady to be extra motivated and be absolutely dominant. I think we will see Brady throw for over 400 yards.
If the Patriots end up kicking a bunch of field goals for the 2nd week in a row it won’t be promising.
