Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1230 True Heart Beyond the Picture
"Beat! Beat!"

"Beat! Beat!"

The roar was endless, and the entire league was united as never before, and the desire for the New England Patriots to hit a wall and suffer a setback reached its peak.

Pressure, focus, public opinion, everything, all fell heavily on the shoulders of Kansas Chief and Levi, truly the center of attention.

However, momentum is one thing and reality is another.

After all, competitive sports still need to rely on strength to engage in head-on confrontations. Victory is not achieved by whoever has more fans, whoever has greater support, or whoever has better character. The motivation and momentum off the field ultimately need to be transformed into final victory through down-to-earth confrontations on the field.

The cruelest and most helpless thing in real life is that sometimes, the bad guys always have the last laugh.

When ESPN's professional program "Inside the League" was recording its last episode, it focused on the 2.0th week of the regular season. "Gillette Stadium Incident 2.0" had not yet occurred, let alone "Spygate ". This group of professionals simply analyzed and judged the game based on objective facts.

However, their predictions for victory or defeat are... not optimistic.

"Five vs Five".

The Kansas City Chiefs received five votes and the New England Patriots received five votes.

Of course, this is just the opinion of a small group of professionals; but it can be seen from here that the strength of the two teams is closer than imagined.

This is bound to be a tough battle.

Then, things happened, storms broke out, and professionals “within the alliance” looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling the pressure from all sides.

Outside the camera lens, they couldn't help but focus on this game again. If the New England Patriots really beat the Kansas City Chiefs...

That would be so exciting.

Just imagining the scene makes my heart lose its rhythm.

"But I mean it. I really think Belichick and Brady can win, and Belichick knows what he's doing and how to do it."

"Of course, maybe the situation is out of control now, but I refuse to believe that Belichick was not prepared for the consequences of this."

"What's more, Brady has gone through so many ups and downs over the years. What he is best at is to burst out with 200% potential when he is not optimistic. This is the footnote of his entire career."

"I even suspect that all of this is a trap set by Belichick for Brady, hoping to stimulate the GOAT candidate through external forces, hoping that he can ignite his little universe. The current situation looks unfavorable to New England, but I think this is their chance to turn the situation around."

"Brady will be ready. Trust me."

The one who spoke was Bart.

This "Levi hater" still stands firmly against Levi. Outside the show, they express their true opinions in private, but Bart still insists on his own point of view, not for the show effect.

But this time, professional commentators "within the league" agreed with Butt.

The more turbulent and severe the wave of public opinion, the higher Brady's fighting spirit became.

After all, Brady has been facing this situation since the moment he entered the league.

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on "Levi Blow" Lawson.

Lawson... was still Lawson. He remained calm and rational amidst the heated debate and discussions. Even when all eyes were on him, Lawson did not rush to express his opinion. He just smiled and nodded slightly, almost giving the stage and the spotlight to Bart.

Without words, this group of colleagues already understood that Lawson had not wavered, still insisted on his point of view, and still believed in Levi. In Lawson's view, Brady was as solid as a rock, proving himself throughout his career and overcoming all the impossible to climb to his current position. This was true; but the same was true for Levi, and Levi had to bear the shackles that Brady had never faced:
Asian. Running back.

As a white man and a quarterback, no matter how much pressure and frustration Brady faces, he will never be able to experience the storm that Levi encountered.

People believe that it is impossible for Brady to overcome everything and write a legend; similarly, Lawson also believes that it is impossible for Levi to overcome everything and create miracles.

What's more, whether it's Bart or Lawson, they all understand that this year's game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs is different from any previous encounter.

The Kansas City Chiefs are growing, with transformation in their offense and adjustments in their defense. After more than half a season of running-in, they still haven't reached their best and strongest form, so the future is promising.

The New England Patriots are... adjusting. Like all top sports champions, they need to make adjustments while moving forward amidst injuries, accidents, conflicts, and other variables, and constantly find ways to continue to win and challenge for the championship within the existing lineup.

This is precisely Belichick's strength.

This season's New England Patriots may be the worst team since the 2002-2016 season in , but they may also be the best team since the Jedi comeback and winning the Super Bowl in . The upper and lower limits are completely far apart, and the fluctuation range... is very wide.

This reminds people of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2017 season. They may have lost unexpectedly to a weak team like the Oakland Raiders, but they were able to make four consecutive comebacks in the playoffs and reach the Super Bowl.

A variable, an anomaly, an unknown factor that even they themselves cannot accurately predict. Coupled with the combination of Belichick and Brady, this really makes the prospects of the New England Patriots this season full of unknowns.

The reason can be divided into two parts.

First, it lies in the offensive group.

Judging from the league rankings, the New England Patriots' offense is currently ranked seventh. It is not in the first tier, but is at the forefront of the second tier.

In the bad situation of losing their top tight end, important wide receiver and other main players in the offseason, Belichick showed his ability to patch things up, and the performance of the New England Patriots' offense in the new season is indeed eye-catching.

But here’s the thing…Brady.

No one expected that Brady would one day become the biggest problem for the New England Patriots' offense.

Brady is…old.

Thirteen weeks into the season, Brady has passed for 3173 yards, with only four games exceeding 300 yards, and even two games with less than 200 yards.

The pass success rate is 59.8%. Although Brady is not as accurate as Brees, his pass success rate in his career is rarely lower than 60%.

In addition, there were seven interceptions.

For reference, Brady has 22 sacks so far, the second-fewest in the league, with only Los Angeles Rams' Goff having fewer.

In other words, the New England Patriots' pocket protection is very solid, ranking among the best in the league, but Brady's passing ability has dropped significantly.

The shortcomings are fully exposed.

The data don't lie. No wonder the entire league is full of doubts, "Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"

As the team leader, when the team is successful, Brady stands under the spotlight and receives applause; when the team encounters problems and faces difficulties, Brady also needs to stand under the spotlight and face doubts.

In front of you, that's it.
