I want to know the over/under on how many times the Bulterception gets mentioned in the lead up to and during the game.

Seriously, though, tough test. But unless a freak blizzard strikes the Bay Area in two weeks, I think Maye will be fine.

That said, I don't rule out one of those weird February atmospheric rivers that have been a thing lately.

Put this in the wrong thread, meant for this one:

Toughness matters. The NFL West is flashy, and I know this might not apply to Seattle, BUT Seattle hasn't played Patriots level toughness.

The Rams are a pattycake team.

Durden, Barmore, Milt Williams have to wreck things.

Seattle is not the 2007 Patriots but we need to do what the Giants did to us in '07, and what we did to the Rams in '18. McVay consistently coaches soft teams. It happens over and over. They may be talented, yes Fiske and Verse are very good players, but the rest lack toughness. The worst Super Bowl in 30 years was the Rams - Bengals bowl of a few years ago, they played pattycake, didn't hit, and the execution was pretty bad.

JSN is one of the best route runners in the league, had one of the best seasons of any receiver in years, and Darnold has been playing incredible QB, rarely has a bad game. You would think Gonzalez on JSN and Carlton Davis on Kupp, and Marcus Jones on Shaheed.

But this isn’t Madden Football, putting Gonzalez on JSN doesn’t guarantee that he’d be able to shut him down. Same for Marcus Jones vs Shaheed. I can easily see the Seahawks scoring at last 25+ points, which means the Pats would have to score 30+ points. I guess to kill the snake, you have to cut off the head, meaning they have to get to Darnold, have to harass him all game.

Honestly, if I were a Seahawks fan I'd feel confident too. The have an outstanding team--and if the only Pats' games you'd seen this year were the playoffs, you'd be wondering what all the Drake Maye fuss was about.

But if you've watched the Patriots all season, you know what the fuss is about. And you know that this team has been special.

One option is to put Gonzo on their #2 receiver and double JSN, Bill used to do that sometimes.

at least the SB should be good weather unlike these last 3 playoff games. Maye should be better because of that

Santa Clara is in NoCal and I wasn't unhappy. The Pats are going to the freakin' Super Bowl, how the hell could any of us (okay, any of us outside of Cow, Sam & FCB) be unhappy?
