Execution will be the key. I think this Patriots team is tougher than the past couple of years. They don't want any turnovers and key third down pressure passes must be caught. Hernandez,Welker and Lloyd must all step up and catch the pressure passes.
Will Patriots Be Tough Enough?

It takes a pretty tough guy to pull this off!
So I will say yes to your question!
I think it would be easy to pull that off, but putting it on, well, that takes toughness! -

I wasn't really talking about the playoff game that was hard hitting. I was talking about the first, regular season game vs. Houston.
Duh, of course I wouldn't say that to a Patriot's face - That's like comparing you playing on the field against someone 75 to 200 lbs lighter than you or I. Obviously it's comparing athletes against athletes.
And, no, I don't think this team consistently hits as hard as some other teams.

I don't believe this krap about finesse teams in the NFL. Granted some teams may be a bit tougher or more hardened by the NFL by nature has been a tough, rough league for years and finesse doesn't win consistently in the NFL.

Love that avatar, hetch! Is that your pup?
Hi Bruzer,
She was our pup for a few years. Adopted her when she was 11 years old. She has diabities, and with that in our family I had to adopt her. She lived for another few happy years with before passing on.

Nice. I have had a chocolate Lab since he was 6 weeks and he is now 11 years. Some health issues but the vet said he is in remarkable shape for an 11 year old lab. I had a dog like yours many years ago. -

Will the Pats be tough enough? No...they just got their butts kicked at home, in prime time. Getting beaten 21-0 in the second half was disgraceful. They didn't even make a game of it.

Execution was the key...and the Pats got executed. -

I think the hardest hitting game the Patriots have played this year was against the Texans. I'm sure that the Ravens are going to be hitting hard tomorrow. With Gronk out, the Patriots offense becomes more finesse than not.
Nope -

That was an embarrassing effort. We were taken to the woodshed in the 2nd half.
Brady played below par again in a big time playoff game. Brady missed on a few long throws that Flacco was able to make.
Welker had a good game stat-wise, but had a couple bad drops.
Defense had no pressure on Flacco.
Talib injury was a major blow.
