We don't have a great chance to win this football game. High scoring teams cause Kubs to clench up. Not to mention fantastic QBs find their way to big plays against all of our man coverage, and Tom Brady turns it over less than anyone in history (and never gets sacked) so we are unlikely to get the negative plays that offset the big plays. Plus we are still not playing well. The Cincy win was an ugly one.
With all that said, we have no pressure and no expectations. We are being regarded by too many as some kind of broken team, and I think their is plenty of pride in our guys. I don't know if we can make the plays when we need to, but I think the game will be close enough that we will have a chance to make them.
The biggest problem I see is we need to catch breaks in this game, but they don't turn it over and we don't make special teams plays. So that means we need to be lucky and have fumble recoveries break our way, tipped passes find our guys hands, etc...
But we don't need to be better than them, we just need to be better than them Sunday.
