Patriots Pregame Thread SUPER BOWL PREGAME THREAD - Patriots vs Seahawks 2026 SB - The Rematch

[NFL Mystique]

Don't look at the Patriots SB record on NBC. 1-3

DT Joshua Farmer downgraded to out for the SB.

Is this a big loss? I don't know much about him

I was wondering about the arm length thing about Campbell and how many of the sacks or pressures he has allowed have been to players with arms longer than his and then heard it referenced on one of the SB preview shows on youtube.

Has anyone come across the show? I do not remember any of the numbers they mentioned but they mentioned that the Seahawk pass rushers have over 34 inch arms.

Just a curiosity thing and I am not suggesting that Campbell is bad so please non of you fanatics come at me or do IDC.

Not a huge loss at all, but it’d be nice have him. Luckily, we have great depth at DT.

I respect Seattle, but we’re raising that trophy tomorrow. 4 SURE.

is it just me or does the matchup seriously favor NE’s defense?

- Seattle relies heavily on the run game; NE has an elite run defense
- Seattle mainly just has one elite WR; NE has an elite shutdown corner
- Seattle otherwise has pretty average WRs whereas NE’s CB2 and 3 are very good
- Seattle’s QB is a pocket passer who isn’t mobile and thus is susceptible to interior pressure; NE dominates with interior pressure against immobile QBs
- Seattle’s QB has shown tendency to melt down when rattled; NE has compiled obscene # of pressures in postseason

I feel like this matchup is really really good and is flying under the radar. Even if Maye and the offense can’t do a lot, the defense may be able to carry a win.

These are the teams the Seawhaks played since week 10. Including the play-offs.

- Cardinals -29th in Points Allowed - 27th in Yards Allowed24th in Passing Yards - 25th in Rushing yards
- Rams (x3) - 10th in Points allowed - 17th in Yards allowed - 20th in passing yards -17 12th in rushing yards
- Titans - 28th in Points Allowed - 21st in Yards Allowed - 26th in passing yards - 15th in rushing yards
- Vikings -7th in Points allowed - 3rd in Yards Allowed - 2nd in Passing yards - 21st in rushing yards
- Falcons - 19th in Points allowed - 15th in Yards allowed - 15th in passing yards - 24th in rushing yards
- Colts - 21st in Points allowed - 23rd in Yards Allowed - 31st in passing yards - 7th in rushing yards
- Panthers - 15th in Points allowed - 16th in Yards Allowed - 14th in passing yards - 20th in rushing yards
- 49ers (x2) 13th in Points allowed - 20th in yards allowed 23rd in passing yards - 11th in rushing yards

The Vikings are the only Legit Defense they played. And they hung 26 points on them. But look at the other teams and how the Seahawks did.. 1 Score win against the Titans. 1 score win against Indy. Barely beat the Rams twice.

The Seahawks Offense hasn't really been challenged outside the Vikings..

I'm living in the Land of Smiles now and I got to say, waking up at 6 am to watch the Super Bowl is going to be a trip but at least I won't be subjected to that interminable ****ing wait.

It’s early 2002 and I’m at a cheap beach resort in Krabi. At this time, ESPNAsia has all the playoff games and its standard at hotels. I’m at the bar the night before and I ask the busboy if he can open it for me at 6am. He shows up (for about 500 baht) and cooks me pancakes with honey syrup as I watch the Pats win their first. That’s my 2001 season superbowl experience. Im hoping it turns out similar for you, beach resorts, honey pancakes aside.

So Taylor Swift's 2 BILLION dollar tour didn't convince you that she is popular?

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Please do us all a favor and mute or block me. I'm tired of your inability to read what posts actually state.

 

[DaBruinz]

The match up which scares me is whoever Carlton Davis is covering. He does not draw a favorable matchup with any of Seattle's receivers.

I also wonder if Marcus Jones with help over the top is a better match up with JSN because he can match his change of direction and then you task Gonzo with shutting down Kupp 1x1.

Hold Seattle to under 70 yards rushing and you win. The better defenses did this and did win or came close like Indy but were stunted by their offense being inept.

Regarding the Patriots offense the national media is forgetting Seattle played two defense which were not very good the second half of the year in perfect conditions and the Patriots played 3 great defenses in extreme cold, hard rain and wind and finally hard wind and snow. I think Seattle deserves to be favored but this is a much more even mactchup and almost everybody I've heard is not only taking Seattle to win but to cover on a 4.5 which is too high in my mind. I think this is more of a 2.5 and I wouldn't touch Seattle at -2300

Why would you put Gonzo on a guy who can be shut down by Davis? Kupp is a shell of his former self. He had just under 600 yards on the season..

You put Gonzo on JSN and maybe shade Woodson over him. Or you shift Marcus Jones back into a safety position so he's in a position to come in hard on JSN.

Interesting notes about that Vikings game:

- They won 26 to 0
- 7 of those points were a pick 6; the offense only scored 19
- The Vikings were starting Max Brosmer at QB (lol) who threw 4 interceptions
- The Seahawks offense only had 219 total yards despite having 35 minutes of time of possession

I would recommend you to go back and check that Panthers game. It was 3-3 into the second half until Bryce Young began turning the ball over and spotted them 14 easy points.

They also struggled with the Colts defense.

 

[DaBruinz]

I don't like the idea of a taller DB on a shorter, shiftier WR; physics advantages the WR with the lower center of gravity and the quicker twitch. I'd rather bracket JSN with two DBs and have Gonzo solo on the next biggest threat.

*SIGH* You're entire premise is wrong.

JAN = 6'0 5/8

Gonzalez - 6'1 3/8"

The 3/4" difference between the two is nothing of note. There is no "lower center of gravity and quicker twitch" to point to because their center of gravity is nearly identical.

Bracketing JSN with 2 DBs is the way to have JSN eat you alive and leave 2 players eating dust instead of just one.

They're good but we should have time to throw. Vrabel will control the flow of the game. We will stay committed to the run. I love our defense

Yeah I really think the key to a Pats win is the defense rocking Seattle’s world. Everyone is somehow still sleeping on them and they’re very clearly pissed about it.

Great job reading what was stated.. ERRrr.. NOT. *SMH*

The reality is that the Seahawks still beat the Panthers by 17 points.

The whole point of my post was that the Seahawks offense isn't a great as people are making them out to be. Which is why I mentionted the 1 score wins against the Titans and Indy..

I just listened to Bad Bunny's most popular songs. I have no idea who's actually listening to his music. He makes Sean Paul and Ricky Martin of my generation tolerable. Tomorrow's halftime show is going to be a disaster. You'll have the woke media gaslight you by praising it, but it will get trashed to most people watching - mostly people 30 years and over.

Woke media? The NFL chose it

Let's not forget about field position with these kickoffs and getting the ball at the 35. Beware shaheed. Kick to him or give it to them at the 35?

If one switched on their brain instead of foaming at the mouth, it wouldn't be hard to realize that inviting the most streamed artist in the world is just good business. for a league that wants to expand their international footprint. Fortunately for you, TP USA is organizing the alternative "All-American Halftime Show", enjoy Kid Rock then.
