THIS!!!

Everyone is making it seem like this Seattle defense was HOF worthy or a better unit than the legion of boom. They only looked good because the offense made them look better than they were.

All you need is a competent offensive coordinator and a QB who isn’t rattled by the big stage and they also would’ve carved that Seattle defense.

I agree, Seattle defense isnt as good as we made it look yesterday. They never got in the flow and never had control. too many mistakes - 1st and 9, 2nd and 5 and we had punts. The punt return negated by a penalty wouldve been a good boost as well. Maye just holding on to the ball too long. needs to get it out fast . We shouldnt keep comparing to brady but he is our frame of reference and that was his game. Take what is there and live to play another down. We need pass catching back and a edelman type slot receiver

Sorry the Defense did: the regular season Maye is on a milk carton somewhere.

He made the plays that got them to the SB despite being more harrasssed than any qb in playoff history.
Just stop. The guy is the best thing about this team. Grow up and stop trying to use your disappointment in finishing second at the guy we would have finished 30th without

You're right Maye and our Receivers played like we had the 32nd Ranked Offense last night. Our Offense along with our Pathetic OC Wasted a Great Defensive effort.

You just can't handle the truth: I'm over it dude. Our Offense was very Disappointing: a Defense was sending 4 and got there every time. I don't who was worse Bad Bunny or the Patriots Offense?? Misery loves company.

Yes!!! Absolutely spot on!
We just recently saw this with the rams.. also so much has been said of our " easy schedule.. so nobody is making note of Seattle path was 2 division opponents and a 49s team that was missing half thier roster..

Brady probably wouldn't win that game either, let's be honest. We would've had a better shot no doubt but we've seen 2007 and 2015 when the offensive line was getting destroyed. We scored 14 and 18 points, and that's with Randy freaking Moss and Rob Gronkowski, two first ballot HOF all-time starting 11 players on the team.

Mahomes in a similar situation got shut out of the end zone with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.

No QB can win when the offensive line cannot hold up against a 4 man pass rush. The coverage will sit on your shorter routes with the knowledge that you won't have time for longer-developing routes. We've seen this time and again.

The offensive line needs more talent, period. Maybe Campbell will be ok when healthy but damn do I wish they had just benched him and Wilson just to see what we had with Lowe and Brown in.

I agree with you. But brady wouldve hung in there and made it a game . Maye played like manning under pressure.

To be fair Stafford has the best WR and a top offensive HC. Also Devante Adams isn’t trash either. We have nothing like that here

Agreed with you.. but we scored 28PPG regular season and Drake was an MVP candidate all season long with the current roster we have.. everything changed when we got into post season offensively.. I was under the impression that Drake having seen 3 elite defenses would had been better prepared for Seattle..

I can’t fault Josh McDaniels for anything other than not running the ball more. In the passing game Maye wasn’t seeing the field right. It didn’t matter what McDaniels called.

Once he took pointers from Forehead it was game over

Rham seemed to be having success. And then we wouldn't run again or we'd run Henderson into the middle of the line.

The Patriots mistake on offense was to keep waiting for Darnold to mess up and then take advantage. You cannot rely on turnovers. They come and go in waves. It was a bad approach that burned them. Once Seattle got up 6-0, they were not going to take chances offensively themselves. Protect the ball and let our defense destroy Campbell all night.

Nah, he got hurt along the way. I suspect Dr. Chao got tipped that Maye was hurt. I think we just did not report it until it came out. He took too much hit this year. Either get Campbell to guard or completely off this team. Every defense is smelling blood. He was Seattle’s favorite player. No way Lowe will have been worse. Love Vrabel but he can be at times too loyal to his guys. Today was a case to bench Campbell.

LMAO, you have won over reaction of the day. Well done

Move him to guard or cut him??

LMAO

NFL Mystique · Feb 9, 2026

Pressure isn't just about getting the QB rattled on that very play. It's about planting a seed of doubt in the QB's head for future drives. For instance, there were some plays in which Maye had time. He could have thrown for a first down etc. But he was so rattled by what had already happened previously that he could not pull the trigger.

If he struggles at LT to start the first few games in 2026, he will probably be moved to guard or benched. He will be healthy by that point and the schedule is too tough to try and satisfy one guy.

And Vrabel is too loyal to guys. That was a criticism of him in Tennessee. And it happened last night by keeping Campbell in.

It worked: they took the points all night. We were down by 9 but it felt like 60.

Zo is NOT happy Campbell didn't speak after the game. Thats telling, he is a team employee and a former player. Said it made him look like a baby. He is 100 percent correct. Face paint, all the talk and then he can't face the music.

I Henderson run up the middle that lost four yards that broke the will of the Offense was a great call.

Not saying I disagree with him, but I don't think Zo is someone whose opinion on things matters in the slightest.

I mean the Seahawks literally said: Maye is their entire offense.

If the other team is seeing it, it's silly that a fan can't.
