Sorry, the Patriots have proven that they are very capable of winning dispite not having any of the so-called "super stars" at wide receiver. Brady alone should be enough to scare Fred Thomas to death.
Brady may be able to disect our defense, but I don't think he'll be able to pick on Fred Thomas in particular.
Most teams try and disguise their Defensive play before the snap. If we can hide Fred somewhere in the Defense I think we will be Ok.:hihi:
You're right. Brady spreads the ball around the field better than any other QB in the game. He won't pick on Thomas in particular.
The Bears press conference did remind me so much of the halftime interview of Bobby Stoops for the BCS Championship game in 03. When questioned about the #1 defense of LSU, he went on the defensive. Lovie Smith and Grossman definitely had that same kinda "hey we're good too now" tone.
I really think Payton has some special defensive scheming for when Thomas lines up with Berrian. Look for us to disguise single coverage and burn Rex with an interception.
