It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The game plan for SB 25 allowed Thurman Thomas to run b/c Jim Kelly and the BUF Bills had one of the more powerful offenses of all time, and they wanted them to milk the clock a bit, while limiting their points in the red zone.
Do you really think that applies in this case? I certainly don't.
If they allow Lynch to run on Sunday they are most likely going to get beat. And don't be surprised if SEA completely tries to take Gronkowski away, thus limiting his production.
I think they shouldn't cover Gronk at all, lulling us into a false sense of security. Of course i'm a Pats fan and they'd be crazy to actually do that.
I disagree, and here's why.... Wilson is the reason the Hawks are in the SB. He is far more effective than we on this board give him credit for. Let Lynch get enough yardage to lull the Hawks into a false sense of security , then Brady slams the hammer down.
You're welcome to that opinion but I don't agree, not even in the slightest.I disagree, and here's why.... Wilson is the reason the Hawks are in the SB.

He's a dual threat back and the Patriots need to be aware of this. Stop Lynch
This.The last thing I want is Lynch going off and the Hawks chewing up a bunch of yardage and time.
Exactly. Pats aren't losing the game because Lynch runs for 170; but they are losing if Wilson runs for 70.The weapon we "remove" from Seattle is Wilson's ability to run and break the pocket (giving his WRs 5+ seconds). Lynch should be dealt with as best as possible. I don't think Lynch can beat us but Wilson can.
The key is ensuring Lynch AND Wilson are not running.If he's as great as you say, which I dispute, the best way to defend him is to make him one dimensional by stoning the running game.Letting him pass, run outside, while Lynch run free inside, sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
I have a game plan theory..
BB will WANT Lynch to run. Sort of a throwback to his defensive plan with the Giants against the Bills.
Because, Wilson is actually a very good QB who has won more games with his arm than Lynch has with his legs.
My SB game plan:
BB will pull a 'rope a dope' by letting Lynch run, playing out the string...and Brady strikes with seam passes to Gronk and Vereen.
Don't be surprised when in the first half it looks like Lynch is running it down our throats.
