So the old "CLICHES" were true; now what?

[sammythesage]

Defense wins championships and the pats rolled!
Team w/the stronger rushing game will roll; and the panthers did!
Now these "cliches" meet up; who does one take?

sammy,

another cliche is that the team that wins the battles in the trenches usually wins the game. do you think N.E. can handle carolina's front 4?

IMO...everything is a wash except for 1 thing the QB's..It will come to who is the better QB/Tom B. is a proven commodity...delohoome has yet to prove himself on this level.

Just remember the look on McNabb's face as the game was winding down. Pain from the pounding.

Next question that needs answering is Who is Mike Brady's backup? I mean Tom, there is so many of those Bradys its hard to keep up.

Whoever he is he may get some playing time. I believe the panthers are coming and coming hard.

The game will be decided by how well the panthers defense does against the pats short passing game. Pats won't be able to run the ball and won't have time to throw long.

Fox is a hard nosed coach and he has got his team playing with that same intensity. Any patroit that catches a pass in the middle will probably get up blowing snot bubbles.

Carolina will win 20-13

Patriot, you're right. However, Delhomme is in a similar position as Brady was a couple of years ago and Brady won the SB. Delhomme is similar to Brady in that both are not flashy nor do they put up great numbers. Both play within their systems and commmit few mistakes.

There are good arguments on both sides.
