How is this game going to play out on Sunday?

I think after the game all the "experts" are gonna be surprised that they spent all that time talking about lynch when it turned out Blount was who they should have been focusing on. Blount is the key to this game on offense. If he's successful everything else will fall into place.

In typical Patriots fashion .. Seahawks take the opening drive and run it down their throats n scores ... Then they settle down ..

Personally, I feel like the Pats special teams is going to come up huge. Edelman or Amendola with a return for a Td

I agree. Something tells me Amendola has a return for a TD.

Blount will be a non-factor, IMO. I think the story after the Super Bowl is how the Patriots' D outplayed Seattle's defense in key spots.

Amendola has looked explosive on returns this year. Seattle's special teams has actually been pretty poor. I wouldn't be surprised if he does return one for a TD.

13-10 first half new England leads.. gets the ball in the 3rd quarter scores another field goal to make it 16-10 then the seahawks score a touch down and they will go up 17-16.. the patriots get the ball back late in the third and score a TD making it 23-17.. the seahawks turn the ball over and new England scores another TD to make it 30-17 early in the 4th.. the seahawks settle for a field goal at the 10 minute mark to make it 30-20. Both Defenses make stops the seahawks kick another field goal to make it 30-23 new England.. New England drives out the remaining time with their final drive and instead of going in for the score they just let time run out.. Final score New England 30 Seatle 23. TB and BB get their 4th Super Bowl rings. And solidify there mark in NFL history as the longest running dynasty of all time. 9 AFC titles 6 super bowl appearances.. Never have had a losing record since TB took over as QB 15 years ago.

Wait....let me grab my pencil.

Ne gets 3 interceptions and a punt return for td. Brady's short passing game eats them up.

Can't help but feel that this is coming. Pats D more often than not seems to start slow and have a few shaky drives before settling and gelling. Hopefully they buckle down in the RZ, but yeah I could see Seattle coming out with some zone reads, a broken pass play and some Lynch runs and it looks like uh-oh before everything settles down.

Man I'm so anxious lol. Pats gotta get it it's been too long since the last one. I wanna see Revis get a ring so bad!

Revis? I love me some Revis but there's much more deserving people on the roster. Players who've been here for years busting their ass.

Just cause Revis hasn't beeb busting his ass in NE don't mean he hasn't busted his ass the last 8 years.

There is not much "broke" with this team right now, so do not expect any great philosophical changes to the game plans we are familiar with...

What I do expect is them to limit Lynch and "spy" Wilson, and rely on our D backs... they cannot take away any one strength, as there are several on this team.. and they execute well.

Offensively I expect pretty much the same, with some refinement of execution.. they have been practicing some of these plays for several years now, this is the time to bring them out of the bag and mix it up that way.

I do agree with many that special teams will have a huge impact on this game, either by creating good field position or breaking one..

My hope is that they do not let the Hawks control the clock, and that they are moving the ball well so the Hawks are forced into passing situations..
