Patriots Pregame Thread Patriots @ Seahawks pre-game discussion

Barmore has $20M reasons in 2027 to find a magical cure for what ever is ailing his knee.

Barmore is currently in overrated territory now. I was hoping for a poor man's Chris Jones; very disappointing returns with his current contract.

A knee/ankle injury will not help. Let's hope the Pats let him heal fully.

Amazing how fans overrate this team. Darnold and Maye are equals at this time
Njigba Smith is better than AJ, shaheed us better than Doubs, stevenson is an average RB, Hendersonnis MIA and inconsustent, seahawls ol, te and defense are all better.
Maybe pats pull off upset but seahawks are still better team and they are very very unlikely to lose at home

If Maye pulls a Brady the Pats can win.

That means refusing to lose and avenging the SB60 loss with a solid to spectacular game. Thereby proving that Maye really is the real deal and not a product of subpar competition. Maye is going in cold after seeing zero preseason action. The red no contact jersey comes off and NFL hunting season is open. I expect Gilliam to start and for the Pats to run, but Its going require Maye to make some unreal plays for NE to get out of Seattle with a win.

SEA is only 3.5 favorites.

They spent alot of $$$$$$$ on your side of Ball Josh: this Offense should be very quick out of the gates.

We now have A.J. also IF KW makes that year Two jump we're going be difficult to defend. IF one of the Pop\Chism gets it from the Slot McDaniels will get OC of the year again. Our Offense shouldn't be a problem this year...it should be our strength. Maye should post Stafford's 2025 Stats with this group.

He’s been overrated for quite some time which many Pats fans are still in denial over. They frequently point to obscure PFF stats, but he is irrelevant to media, coaches, execs, scouts and players.

Looks like he retuned to practice today. If he has another 2 sack season, he will be showing the door in 2027.

What amazes me is how you actually think you can convince us how bad this team always is. Last year the team went on an incredible Super Bowl run and the whole season you kept telling us how much they sucked. I’m not sure I’ve encountered anyone that has been wrong more than you.

Looks like he will not be healthy for Seattle. With the uncertainties at edge and Reiss' comment that the Patriots have been "managing" this injury "throughout training camp", I am concerned that it could be longer. At least we have some depth at tackle, but hopefully he discovers a quick cure.

He returned today. Not a good sign though that this is something has been “managed”.

Looks good for Seattle. Let’s see how effective he is.

Very much this.

Having an elite WR like AJ makes a huge difference. If the OL can do a better job protecting Drake then he will put up numbers.

 

[TommyD4207]

I can't wait to see the game. I want to see how they look. Sucks that preseason's such a farce now.

Lots of ifs and shoulds.

So glad they aren't doing the all white nonsense, but the Seahawks are wearing their pajamas. All the comments are going after Kraft for not paying Gonzo.

 

[jdlboot14]

I like the uni's. Can't go wrong with classic top & bottom contrast. I hate the white pants.

I think the starters are going to be itching to play & rebound. The only question is if scheme & stamina hold up for a whole 60 min after sitting around all preseason.

But...but Pittsburgh wasn't a real playoffs Team.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

These guys have Seahawks to narrowly cover. I see the Pats as better than they were, and the Seahawks as worse. So that would make it a close game to my mind.
