NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Official Who will the Patriots super bowl opponent be thread: LAR @ SEA

[lancerman]

Darnold already exorcised a lot of demons with his play today

Yeah, Darnold is not the same guy we played years ago, and frankly, he hasn't been for a few years. Honestly, even though this is a rematch, almost none of the key pieces in this game are the same. as 10 years ago.

 

[Brick27]

The 12s thing is so tacky. So is trying to make it original when they pay Texas A&M for the rights to it

 

[NFL Mystique]

Such a dumb move. These analytics geeks are getting out of hand.

Not only the decision to bypass three. His dumb decision to fool around and allow Seattle another possession before half. I thought he was poor against Chicago too. But he got bailed out by his defense.

This will be the Pats toughest challenge of the year. As you’d expect.

Maye will need to be MUCH better than he has been so far in the playoffs.

And I feel like Diggs will need to play the game of his life.

Yeah. I feel like the Pats will come with their A game finally. And they will need every bit of it.

Shouldn’t be a weather issue…and that seems to he Drake’s kryptonite.

He completely cleaned up the turnover problem today, and that was the problem vs Houston. Plus the weather sucked in both games. He and the offense will be great in the SB.

 

[Since1960]

Pete Carroll?

And a pack of chewing gum….

 

[ZotZot]

All the fancy plays in the world doesnt make up for bad in-game management

 

[PlainOldEd]

I agreed with this, but also remember this is his first full year as a starter in a poor weather area. He'll get better.

Seahawks are a very tough matchup but Rams would have been even tougher.

Betting line will settle at 5.5 in my opinion.

JNS has been pretty much unstoppable this year, no one including Gonzalez will shut him down.
Drake and Offense will need to come up big.

 

[JonBonesJones84]

The Rams have both a coaching and QB Super Bowl winning experience, no, thank you.

Darnold is good but what more can you ask from a SB opponent? Seattle is a really good team, and so are we. Everything to play for. It's anyone's game.

Did you see how the quiffed tackles against Kyren and Adams? And let a 6’7 Parkinson run a train all over the secondary?

Stafford looked like prime Rodgers from Green Bay out there, gunslinger and all… Mcdouche cost them a SB rematch unfortunately.

Stafford was toying with that defense all night

I’d take my chances against JsN than Nacua and Adams.

Seatttle doesn’t have the elite offensive talent that LA had.

I actually think Vrabes and staff can learn a lot more from the NFCC game film than Seattle can learn from ANY Patriots playoff film. Weather was an issue for all the games.

 

[JonBonesJones84]

If they lost by 3 we could say a FG is why they lost the game but they lost by 4. I'd say they just got outplayed.

They had a **** load of time to drive down the field if Mcdumbass didn’t waste the last time out they had and just took the 3 pts instead.

The Seahawks just couldn’t really put a stop to Stafford’s check downs. He made that defensive unit look silly

 

[escodsm]

Idk… Seattle seems the tougher opponent than the rams. We gotta stop JSN he’s the key to their offense

I really wanted the rams I think we would rock em.

I agree the Seahawks is a somewhat better matchup then Rams (Stafford and Puca) but Seattle is the best team they have played all year.
On paper, of course they are outmatched, but I think if they can keep the game close into the 4th quarter they have a chance.

They can not afford to fall behind big in the first half. They will need to keep it close. Running game including Drake making plays with his legs offers the best chance to stay in the game.
Darnold and Seahawks are explosive and can score very quickly.

Stafford and Puca and Parkinson and Adams would have shredded the Pats defense. Darnold and JSN will also be tough but maybe a slight level below Rams offense. However, SEA defense is better than Rams.
Stopping JSN is going to be very difficult without constantly doubling him.

JSN will get his yards, no doubt. The secondary just to need to hold the Seahawks to 3 pts. Easier said than done when they have an elite kicker who isn’t prone to shanking FG attempts

I continue to see and hear the disrespect out team is getting from the national pundits.. Warner who's a big Drake fan surprisingly says he doesn't know if the Patriots are a championship team.. ..

They were 4-13 last 3 seasons. This season they slayed every AFC powerhouse in thier way en route to the superbowl... let me say again the SUPERBOWL... the roster isn't even a finished product yet they continue to win in different ways..Seattle in my opinion isn't on the same level as Houston or Denver defensively.. they are good but they can be had... with 2 weeks to prepare and a rested team i love out chances against a good but journeyman QB in Darnold. Take JSN out the game you hamper that offense. Also charbonet is out.
