Patriots Pregame Thread Patriots @ Seahawks pre-game discussion

[Real fan 02]

I’m not going to go into analytics, because I’m drunk with friends, but you heard it here first.
Pats win this game by 2 scores.

I love it! The closer we get to gameday the better I feel.. they have gotten better internally and adding guys. Especially offensively.. I was watching an interview with Drake & AJ last night and they remind me of the relationship moss and brady had.

Can the defense finish?

In the Super Bowl

-18 missed tackles
-allowed 95 yards after contact
-missed 4+ sack chances
-allowed five 10+ yard runs.

We need to finish plays.

Hope Henderson can go but it doesn't look like it right now.
Mondre has had a great preseason and Gilliam is really gonna help. Seattle is tough to run on but they can't cover everything

Yeah. What is hendo dealing with anyway? Rham and Tanner Arkin the blocking TE will be key here sealing the edges and getting Seattle to have to cover everything. Seattle likes to sit in zone. That's a perfect scenario for Drake and Rham. Make the safeties have to play up on the LOS.

We did a good job on Shaheed in the SB. Hopefully again in a few days.

What has changed...

 

[Milton Quagmire]

Underrated/important storylines:


-Their offensive coordinator Brian Fleury has never called plays offensively. His background is on defense. (Defensive quality control coach & ST are his forte..) He’s coached TEs in SF for 3 years.

I did not know this. I keep remembering what a disaster Matty P and Joe Judge were.

Four pages late to this game...

I am iffy on our chances ... Don't like the game being in Seattle... But, overall we did well on the road last year... We have a punchers chance there...

The OLine has to keep the pressure off of Maye...The line play in the SB was not good... And we saw the results... Hope they corrected whatever tell Seattle claimed they found for the SB...

McDaniels needs to call a good game... Get the receivers vertical to a degree, get the secondary away from the line... The line can then open holes for the runners... We have good backs but they are not dynamic... If we can run, we are that much better

Defensively, we need the front to create pressure... We were pretty bad at that last year... Ranked 22nd in sacks last year iirc... We cannot let darnold just sit back and pick us apart... We know he will collapse under pressure... We just have to bring it...

Knew it last year that we would face them in the opener... Gonna be a tough game to open the season with... Go Pats
