These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

I can't disagree with that.

Felger and Maz on 985, the Sports Hub.

I started talking about Philly and really starting to get into the game,

and Doug Peterson is where I start with that team,

because even if you tell me the Eagles are more talented,

the Eagles have the players to beat the Patriots, which I'm not conceding, I'm just saying, even if you tell me that, even if you tell me the Eagles are more talented, the Eagles have the players to beat the Patriots,

which I'm not conceding, I'm just saying, even if you tell me that, even if you tell me the Eagles have the players to beat the Patriots,

do they have the coach who needs to make the right decision for 60 minutes?

It's beyond just having a good game plan or a good approach or having your team ready to go.

Atlanta had that. Atlanta had that good game plans team ready to go no no no you're not going to put the Patriots away they're going to be fighting in the fourth

quarter and there's going to be a one possession game in the fourth quarter and now do you

make all the right calls and all the right decisions and do you keep your head and do And do you have a game plan? And is your team ready to go then? Not to start the game. And I don't know how you could have much faith in Doug Peterson. Maybe he does it. And I'm not telling you he won't. I'm just telling you what in his track record leads you to believe that that's in the bank. because you know it's in the bank for Belichick. Well, on the paper, it's a mismatch.

It's a huge mismatch. In fact, you might be able to argue that if you go on paper, the Patriots have the edge at coaching quarterback, but maybe not in any other place. Tight end. Tight end. Well corner, I mean, no. Zacherts, please.

Like he compares to Rob Grancowski. Well, he's a good player, though. But you're right. Grunk has the edge there. No two ways about it. And the bats have him a corner, and the pets have them. But it becomes even. It becomes, but the quarterback and the coach are huge mismatches in this game. Huge.

Absolutely.

And so, at least on paper.

So the coach is what I'm focusing on right now. And sure, the page, well, the page has lost to a lot of bad quarterbacks. Have they lost to many bad coaches? Like, who's, like, we talk about, they lost to the Jets and Mark Sanchez, but they lost to Rex. It was pretty good with New York there at that time.

He was. They lost to the Ravens, but they lost to Harbaugh. Who's good? They lost to Denver. Kubiak, is that a bad coach or good coach? I'd say Kubiak's pretty good. You know, so they've lost to bad quarterbacks, but have they lost to bad coaches? No, those Denver games

I mean, Wade Phillips was the DC there too

and I give him credit.

I mean, I don't know. I think that'd be interesting to look at. How many bad coaches have they lost to? Not many. In my recollection, not many. In games that really matter. So that's where you're today. But that comment by Peterson, the whole thing today, he kept getting asked about the Patriots Mystique and Brady and Belichick and what do you do with these guys?
