PostGame Thread 2025 AFCCG OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD: We're on to the Super Bowl!!!

[Guts]

A Denver site said Bonitto had 30 snaps yesterday but does not appear on the game stat sheet. Campbell must have been horrible

Kudos to Campbell improved dramatically from the Texans game.

So, is Milt the only player on our Roster who has Super Bowl experience? I can't think of any others off the top of my head. I know our coaching staff has like 100 years of experience or something crazy.

Hooper was on the Falcons when we beat them. I think Hollins was on the Eagles when they beat us.

Edit: Searching brings up a couple more names:

Elliss was on the Eagles team that lost to the Chiefs

Carlton Davis was on the Bucs team that Brady won with.

5 isn’t bad. It’s about to be 53

My eye test told me the right side had a much harder time than the left yesterday.

Wilson did struggle again, but yeah, Onwenu and Moses had a tough game.

Edit: Although I will say, when they committed to the run, they did a pretty good job getting creases over there.

Gonzo is also a beast. I’m not against doubling him as a strategy but also gotta have faith in a top 2 corner to limit him if that’s the matchup.

They should at least test those waters. If you can get away with dedicating only one resource to take away their top weapon BY FAR (JSN has been held to under 70 yards only twice this entire season/post-season), your defensive flexibility opens way up.

 

[RobertWeathers]

That’s all I was saying.

Campbell has been fine this year. I don’t know if he is 100% healthy in these playoffs and that would explained some of his struggles. I think he lost some confidence too.

The entirety of the offense seem to have lost confidence. They played with such swagger in the regular season. Drake was so calm and poised in the pocket. Even against good fronts like the Browns. Being sacks 6 times by Myles Garrett didn’t seem to bother him one bit.

But in these playoffs I find Maye not so calm, indecisive at times. It’s weird.

Playoffs are a different beast. Different pressure. Better teams. Weather. Two rookies on the left side do not help matters.

Drake will be OK.

He really is the whole offense. If you've watched Seattle at all, you'd know this. The only reason Cupp and Walker got open late was because Smith-Njigba was tourching them the first three quarters.

(Also, the Rams corners are absolutely terrible, just as an aside)

BINGO! Bonito was shut out yesterday. Nothing, NADA, not a tackle, not an assist, not a pressure, not a sack. The people trashing Campbell don't know wtf they are talking about, they just regurgitate the **** they hear on sports radio,

Yup. Still think he's battling an ongoing injury. Good time for the Super Bowl "bye".

Facts. He accounts anywhere from 30%-70% of total game yardage in any given week.

Total yardage of the Seahawks to this point - 5973
Total yardage of JSN to this point - 1829 (1793 receiving, 36 rushing)

That is ~32% of their total offense through one player. Sometimes Darnold will have 150 yards passing, 124 of which were to JSN, first game they lost to SF.

I do think regardless of what coverage we sick on JSN, he will still eat a little. It's gonna be a Julio Jones kinda plan, where he's gonna find the unfindable. Our secondary might be the best in the league at forgetting about a bad snap and manning up immediately thereafter.

The more I think about this matchup, the more I feel like our defense is a great matchup. It's gonna be a fun watch. If both teams bring their A-game, it'll be a FIGHT.

How many "meh" playcalls did McDaniels call through the years that Brady either successfully executed anyways or changed on the fly? I ask myself this because sans Brady, he seems to really struggle when it comes to adjusting against great or elite defenses.

Can't take you seriously, man, when you dial up posts like this.

Thankfully, Rhamondre didn't pull a Faulk and drop the ball.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO THAT!

He gets lost if he tries to post before Felger is on.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Which was the clip someone posted here yesterday and then claimed he was awful

That was the missed cut-block in space. Always going to be difficult against a speedy rusher.

 

[TommyD4207]

(I mean, he did kinda juggle the one where he got that 12 yard run, but he never totally lost it).

I see people clowning on media types for pointing out how weak our schedule has been, it's true. Our regular season schedule was very weak.

We have played 3 really tough defenses in the playoffs, but in reality those 3 teams had severe issues and honestly was not super difficult because of the lack of offense those teams provided.

Our defense had a lot to do with those offenses not performing well, this is true along with the weak schedule. People are acting like its one or the other. Both things are true, the Pats have had a charmed season based on the matchups they have faced. The Pats are also a very good football team. Again both things can be and are true.

Pats fans, when someone points out one thing it does not take away from the other. Please stop getting panties in a twist if someone points out how easy the path to the SB has been. It makes you look like you don't understand football. All my non Patriot friends keep telling me how easy the path has been and I tell them they are right, but it does not take away from how good the team actually is. This team takes advantage of bad football and not all teams are capable of that.

I always prefer it when the Pats are the underdogs going into the SB.
