Patriots Pregame Thread Patriots @ Seahawks pre-game discussion

I think it will come down to McDaniels and his new toys. He has a lot to implements to use.

It will come down to how good are AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs and Kyle Williams and Pop Douglas and Mack Hollins? And can Seattle shut them down?

I think Efton Chism is primed to be a player in our Offense this year. I want to see the formation of AJB an KW on the outsides with Chism in the Slot.

and Gilliam..will he help to allow Maye and his targets time?
Campbell, AVT and Wilson also need to show up

From your lips to god's ears.

Crazy things happen in week 1, just look back to last year when we lost to the Raiders at home.

Seattle looks to be down both their starting safeties and their starting RB. I feel if NE can keep it close early and fight off that initial adrenaline surge by Seattle they’ll be in good shape going forward to pull it off.

I hope he steps up when one of the top 5 WRs gets dinged up, but I can't quite imagine having 6 WRs being game day active, unless he wins the kickoff return job.

We were UNDEFEATED on the Road last year:

We know of Uncle Milt... Barmore now that's another story. Barmore have been ok after his setback: but ok players don't get paid like him.

 

[moosekill]

Both our rookie o lineman, and our qb were injured going into the superbowl. Pretty tough to be amazing. Hopefully with them both healthy, along with new weapons, the outcome will be different.

 

[PatsFan2]

Having Wilson next to him compounded our problems. Jared Wilson was bad @ Left Guard last year: we can only hope he's a better Center. Get well soon Benny Brown.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Sorry, but nobody is really scared of them. Williams had an awful game in the Super Bowl whiffing multiple times at Darnold who easily evaded him. Meanwhile, Barmore is his usual self unable to shed the OL.

OL can easily take them out without an edge rush.

Those pedestrian pass rushers got to tee off on a guy with one leg. Seattle's D might get shell shocked tomorrow night when things aren't as easy.

 

[PatsFan2]

They basically have so much guys that can bring pressure. Seattle's Big Guys on D played better than our Barmore last year.

And to add that.. why's none of the NFL people talking about how badly they got gashed in the NFCCG.. let's be real the best defense we saw was Houston I don't believe Seattle is on thier level. Somehow Seattle has the legion of Boom again. Additionally on the other side of the ball.. Darnolds last 2 team he had all pro WRs to throw too JJ and JSN.. Kenny walker took immense pressure off him.. the real sam Darnold still exists.

He's got a very odd list, but he doesn't specifically target the Pats. Chargers and Bears are media darlings, but Prisco also doesn't care for either of them. Lions are ranked too low. Jaguars at 3 and Cowboys at 5 is hilarious.

Because there are so much competition with the internet today, the veterans like Prisco have to take a swing and stand out.

 

[Patsfan1645]

Keep in mind the preseason truly starts tomorrow and what we see tomorrow will be nothing like what the team looks like by week 4/5. But I truly believe that if the Pats lose tomorrow or even narrowly win there will be plenty on this board who will go ahead and write the season off...so enjoy!

We need Barmore to be that Guy on Defense Twin. The Big Guy have to bring the Heat this year.
