Apologies if this was posted already, I missed it if it was.

Darnold will be seeing ghosts whether he likes it or not.

February 11th, 1990 the biggest upset in professional sports happened when James "Buster" Douglas knocked out "Iron" Mike Tyson. Going into that fight Douglas was a 42-1 (+4200) underdog. If I would have to guess he was probably one of the biggest underdogs ever in professional sports. I have read several articles about Douglas going into the fight and what he thought and its very interesting. He knew that he was suppose to be nothing more than another W on Tysons resume and no one gave him any sort of legitimate chance to even make it out of round 1, he was an after thought before the fight took place. Buster said he looked long and hard at Mike leading up to the fight and when you don't listen to the noise he saw a man he believed he could beat. He said leading to the fight his confidence grew and he was certain he would win if he fought his game. He said he was so excited to get in that ring and show the world who he was, there was no fear. And on that one night James "Buster" Douglas was the best heavyweight in the world and Mike Tyson had no answers for him.

The 2025 Patriots believe and have blocked out the noise as they prepare for their final opponent. They are going to be dangerous and we will see if the Seahawks have any answers for the storm heading their way. And just like Douglas I cant wait for the world to see.

Huge upset

This game isn't about trying to make Sam Darnold bad or turn him back into the QB he was when he was forced to wear the petulance green of the Jets and bear that weight. He isn't that guy and turns out to have NEVER been that guy. Rather he is a talented QB who was worthy of being drafted in the top 3 and an example of what happens to good players who get drafted by bad organizations.

Seattle is not going to win or lose this game based solely on the play of Sam Darnold. In order for us to control the excellent Seattle offense we are going to have to do to some degree, what we have been doing to all our playoff rivals. That is confuse what Sam sees at the LOS at least some of the time, control the LOS so the Seahawks can't control the LOS with a good run game (under 75 ypg), and provide enough pressure with 4 and 5 man rushes to move Darnold off his spot. We want to force him into his 2nd and 3rd options and make his job hard and his pass drops longer.

As for our offense? I'm not sure. It has been a month since we have seen a game where it looked both efficient and effective for any length of time. A time where WE were dictating the flow of the game. I just have to believe all we saw in the first 17 games of the season wasn't a mirage and we will have an answer if we get into a shooting match.

I really would be happy to hear a report this week or next that T. Williams was seen in the building or out in Santa Clara. I have a feeling that he has been contributing more to the defensive planning than people realize, even if he hasn't been there to coach it directly. That's my hope at least.

Top QB's don't see this much of a regression in three postseason games. It just does not happen. That makes me wonder if there really was a pre-existing injury at some point with Maye.

Regardless, they still have an opportunity to prove this year was not a fluke. The SB and next year's schedule.

My god he played in two blizzards and the other game was in the twenty’s. This is simply moronic.

I don’t mind the all whites but good god do we need a uniform overhaul.

The only Pats uniform I dislike is the All Dark Blue.

Should have done it this year with the new winning regime.

 

[shmessy]

Sorry. You aren't paying attention if that's what you honestly believe. I've seen him make 2-3 decent blocks a game. Your portrayal of him is as ridiculously hyperbolic as the moron who claimed Belichick was a **** to everyone.

Since you haven't paid attention, the team has Brock Lampe on IR.. He's 23. No reason to think he'll not supplant Westover as the Starting FB.

I strongly and respectfully disagree with your opinion on Westover.

 

[shmessy]

Pats didn’t draft Westover in the 2nd round, unlike Jordan Richards.

Matter of fact they didn’t draft him at all.

True. That’s why I wrote “since Richards”. Richards was a bigger value bust than the undrafted Westover.

I love the white uniforms.

Especially on defense.

In a snowstorm.

These stark Whites work and I generally dislike the Whites. The Colts Whites look like long underwear.

Red and white is a winning combination.

Neither organization was going to go against those looks where they haven't lost. Which is why I'm curious why the heck did management even allow BB to exit the tunnel with that awful red hoodie in SB42?

Were the Noreasters an option?

I love those.

Its hilarious listening to national media about the game.

As far as they're concerned the game is over. The pats don't stand a chance.

No mention ever about Zach charbonnet being out fit the season. No talk about how woolen almost cost them the game.

Its a foregone conclusion that this is the best defense the pats have played even though the last 3 teams were better.

Seattle doesn't have to blitz apparently cause demarcus Lawrence is some how more dominant that will Anderson.

Just so much bs and zero analysis
