Poll: How Confident are you about SB53?

[SHOWTIME15]

Just wondering where everyone stands on SB53...Sunday can’t get here fast enough. Last year I was somewhat worried heading into SB52 without Edelman and Hightower. This year I am more confident, especially since NE seems to be on a mission. What say you?

 

[Snooky97]

Terrified... The nerves and excitement. I want this team to succeed so badly

 

[Bradyking12]

Like our chances I mean Mahomes is better then Goff and Hill is better then Cooks, their d line is what concerns me tho and that secondary.

 

[UFGatorPat]

Cautiously Optimistic
-our defense is capable of shutting them down as long we stop the run.
-our offense doesn’t have to be dominant, just avoid the big turnover, get a TD in the first quarter for once and be creative in wearing them down in the first half, not just running Sony repeatedly. Lots of ways to do that.

 

[patriot1136]

Definitely nervous, but I'm nervous for every playoff game. I just really want this one so badly, especially after last year. Plus, I love the heart and determination of this team.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Our first blowout win. 38-20. Easy peasy.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

I will say I am only this confident because our offensive line is playing absolutely balls to the wall right now. They're insane. IF they keep up the level of play we've seen from them the last two playoff games we're blowing these guys out. If the Rams DL lives up to their name and gives us fit it'll be a bit closer but I still think we win

 

[DarrylS]

Grew up with the futility of the Red Sox, as much as I believe they will win in the back of my mind still some hesitation.

Unfortunately, Superbowl XLII, Superbowl XLVI & Superbowl LII took some wind out of my sails...

As those demons are wrestled with in my mind, I still believe they will win..

To me the matchup between Pats OL vs Rams DL will decide the game.

 

[SBLIII]

Very confident. I think the Patriots will lead by 10-14 for most of the game and win it by 7.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

I feel pretty good about their chances/motivation/ability to execute and control the game.

Michel has added a dynamic to this team that makes them even more versatile and efficient.

Goff is good, but he doesn't scare me too much, and who knows how effective TG will be.

I still think Cooks is good, but he can be contained, especially by a team that knows him from a year of practice/play.

The only "scary" aspect is if Donald goes OFF, that could certainly change things.

All in all, I like their chances.

 

[nabwong]

I'm quite confident because of health, the O line play and our running game. We have both Gronk and Allen relatively healthy. Together with Devlin, I think the trio will be a big part of neutralizing Donald with wham blocks. I think we can tire their D. If we can play mistake free football, I think we could win comfortably. Even Elandon Roberts is making plays.

 

[Steve102]

Last year, I talked myself into being ****y and over confident, ignoring the fact that the RPO was a problem for that team. While this year's team is firing on all cylinders at the right time, I have to look at the sins of earlier in the year and take that into consideration. The trendy term of recency bias applies. While I can look at the wins over San Diego the Chargers and KC and think "They've beaten the two best teams already", I have to look at the fact that the DL of the Rams poses unique problems for this unit.

I think this team plays to the level of competition. They play best against better opponents. In the end, I thought it was KC's year and they beat them. I just don't see a pissed off Tom Brady losing. Put me down as Cautiously Optimistic. I wouldn't be surprised if they had to play until the last possession, like they always do. Nor would I be surprised if they control the game throughout.

I just wish it was Sunday already.

f*ck the rams

 

[VectorPrime]

I’d rate my confidence at 7 out of 10

 

[IllegalContact]

I’d rate my confidence at 7 out of 10

not bad....but I'm at 10/10.....why? because the pats learned from last year that they need to be locked in and that hubris has no place.......and this game is for their execution to take

 

[oldrover]

Level of anticipation: MAX
Level of worry: ZERO
Confidence: HIGH

They have no shot against that D-line.

 

[scott99]

People talk about the Rams defense, especially their D line. Yet they gave up 5.1 ypc, and gave up 59 more points than the Pats. That being said, I'm always nervous, always cautious, always worried. I worry about playing three straight great games in a row (very difficult to repeat so many good games in a row, even 3).

I really want this game so bad, especially for Brady, Belichick, and the whole team. Everyone has counted this team out all year, so I want this one bad.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I like their chances but the Rams can beat them if they play a great game and the Pats don’t play as well as they have in the playoffs.
