We’ve seen this before haven’t we? Those of us who remember the Patriots vs. Colts battles back in the day have seen this before. When I sit back and analyze the matchup between New England and the Kansas City Chiefs I’m brought back to that place in time. Why do I feel like this is a blast from the past? Let’s discuss and I’ll paint a picture.Quarterback playThe Chiefs have a highly touted quarterback who is rolling at the moment. While he’s not a Peyton Manning by any means Youth Devin McCourty Jersey , he comes into this game with similar intangibles. Both are accurate throwers with Patrick Mahomes having a cannon for a arm. The biggest difference between the two at this stage is Mahomes has scrambling ability unlike Peyton who was a true pocket passer. Look for the Patriots defense to try and keep Mahomes in the pocket without letting him extend plays with his legs.Running back playEdgerrin James and Kareem Hunt both possess the ability to take over a game on the ground. When I think about it they have a similar set of skills. While it is a different league now than when James played, the headache is still there. The Patriots always handled James, something they weren’t able to do last season with Hunt. The Patriots have to keep him in check for them to be successful in this game.Wide receiversWhere to begin with this one? The Colts brought in Marvin Harrison as their number one receiver. The Chiefs bring in Tyreek Hill who can flat out fly. I know you can’t allow Hill to go off in this game. The absolute lethal speedster can cause havoc both as a wideout and a punt returner. Don’t even kick it near him if you don’t have to. The Patriots defense will need to be very aware of him at all times. I suppose you can say Sammy Watkins would be the Chiefs’ equivalent of Reggie Wayne. I don’t personally believe that White Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , but for this we can roll with it. The Kansas City wideout is a bit of a wildcard. They gotta be aware of him on the field, assuming he suits up. The Patriots defense will have their hands full this week just like they did back in the day with the Colts.I hope I connected the dots for everyone in my comparisons. We’ve seen this song and dance quite a few times haven’t we? Let’s hope like the other times the Pats get a win Sunday night.You can follow me on Twitter @Chris_Blackey and as always – Go, Pats! On Monday Youth Julian Edelman Jersey , the New England Patriots will their eighth game of the season – and the second one against a divisional foe: the team will play the Buffalo Bills in prime time and on the road. The Patriots already announced, however, that they will enter their second straight road contest without three players.OutThe Patriots will again be without depth tight end Jacob Hollister and former number two cornerback Eric Rowe. The latter in particular is an interesting case Youth Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey , as Rowe’s season could come to an end later down the line: with Duke Dawson designated as one of the two players to return off injured reserve, Rowe might get placed on the list.DoubtfulThe first-round rookie, who injured his knee last Sunday against the Chicago Bears Youth Tom Brady Jersey , was back on the practice fields today in limited fashion. He still is listed as doubtful for Monday and will likely be declared out but this is a positive sign when it comes to his recovery.QuestionableThe Patriots have plenty of big names on their list of questionable players, with both starting tackles no safe bets to play on Sunday. Brown in particular would be a big loss that would move an inexperienced players like Cole Croston into the starting lineup.
