New England is difinately going to benefit from their prior Super Bowl experience. They did everything on a team-level. They win as a team, they lose as a team. Hell, they were even introduced as a team. Plus, this is an almost identical team as to the 2001 except for a few changes in personnel.
Carolina has been under the radar this season. They have never expierenced the kind of media coverage they are about to see. The Patriots have gone through the excruciating media day and have been in the spotlight before. Period.
I think the extra week off won't help either team. It will either A.) Allow the coordinators to dissect the other team too much, or B.)Throw off the players timing, causing for a sloppy game.
I hear everyone talking about Ty Law...what about Ricky Manning Jr.? He is playing extremely well too. He is more aggressive than Ty Law, and uses his athleticism to get his hands up on the recievers and gets an advantage that way. He doesn't have the intelligence of a Ty Law, but don't underestimate his intelligence either, he's an intelligent corner but he just relys on his athleticism more. F.Y.I. He got 3 picks in the NFC championship game.
Ty Law on the other hand is a cerebral cornerback. He usually is not as athletic as the receivers he covers, but he does a wonderful job outthinking them. Law is a deceiver of showing the offense one thing, and than actually doing another. He forces the offense to audible and allows the Patriots defense to capitilize. F.Y.I. He got 3 picks in the AFC championship game.
The match-up that I will be watching is Steve Smith vs. Ty Law. Smith is an amazing speedster going up against an amazing thinker. Smith was known as purely a downfield threat, but he has stepped up in the playoffs running great across the middle and his routes are precise. He will find the soft spots of zone defenses and punish them with his ability to run after the catch. He is no pushover, Ty Law will have his hands full with him.
In order to be effective Law must use his intelligence. He never got in a position for Harrison to break a big play on him, and everytime the ball came near him his hands were on it, either picking it off or knocking it down. He needs to try and shade him when he is going to the middle and stop him from making the catch over the top of the defense because this is when Smith is the most deadliest and can strike a critical blow.
Tom Brady may be the key to this game. He has gone up against Peyton Manning and Steve McNair and outplayed them both. He's made big plays and managed the offense. If he needs to make a play in the 4th quarter, he'll make it. He did it against the Rams, and he could do it against the Panthers. He's a winner.
The Panthers corners should give New Englands short-pass a run for their money. Their corners make it very hard for opposing receivers to get a clean jump off the line, giving their amazing defensive line and linebackers on occasion (arguably the best in the league) more time to pressure Brady and force him to make a throw he doesn't want to make into coverage or take him down behind the line.
Bill Belichick also needs to prepare one hell of a game to stop the run. Steven Davis and DeShaun Foster will assist each other in keeping the run unknown on whether they will go outside or to the inside. But Coach Belichick also knows that even though the run is the focus of Carolinas attack, he needs to stop the effectiveness of Jake Delhomme.
This game features two amazing defenses and defensive coordinators. It'll be a sloppy, defensive game that won't live up to Super Bowl-hype.
P.S. Go Carolina! I hate ignorent New England fans...quite frankly I think they are arogant ********...shut them the hell up. (We can hope)

How many games has Bellicheck lost with New England when he has two weeks to prepare?
Oh yes, that's right. Zero.

Are you a New England fan Smash?
Indeed. But even if I weren't I'd come to the same conclusions. I'm only foolishly over optimistic about the RED SOX. The Patriots I'm objective about.

The Yankees are the baseball team that everyone roots for, when they know nothing about baseball. Furthermore, there is a big problem with the following statement:
However, there's a theorem out there by some guy whose name I can't remember that says every win a team gets in a row brings them that much closer to their next loss-- and with their 14 wins in a row they are due for a loss --and soon. After all, it was the Dolphins who had the last really long unbeaten streak like this too?
If you want to go on "theorems" (not really a theorem, but more of an opinion) then you have to take into account the fact that there is no such thing in sports. "Experts" can tout their teams all they want to, but when it all comes down to it even the odds-makers are just guessing. However, they are more educated than I, and when they start giving out odds in favor of the Pats, that is the most convincing I need.
Did you know that there is also a statistic out there that says that in the last decade more teams have won the SuperBowl after winning their last five regular season games than not? That is better than a theorem to me! Don't get me wrong, I only follow the Pats because I had a roommate a couple of years ago who got me hooked.

What is up with the Patsie's design on their helmets? It looks like a skull with some kind of Tour D'France low-wind-resistance biking helmet on it. Goofy looking thing.
