Exactly. You guys think I am joking or trolling about New England winning, well you're wrong. Dead wrong. I've been saying it all along since the before the playoffs started. Patriots win. I feel it in my heart. As an unbiased observer who couldn't care less about the NFL, I have a built-in advantage. Don't you see? Tom Brady wants one more and he has the team to do it. He tends to get what he wants. This aint the Broncos. This is a real American dynasty who isn't going to roll over. They thrive in Arizona.

Pats 31
Hawks 20

GRONK!

Disagree. It was good clean defense. He probably got there a tenth of a second early but no way you can call that at game speed. Great job by Kearse to hang on, though.

You only talk about the times I was wrong, and if it weren't for Mike McCarthy's limp trigger finger, I would have been right on both accounts.

You guys already know that the repeat isn't happening.
 
And what makes you think that the repeat ISN'T happening? I can give you a number of solid reasons WHY it WILL happen.

The funny thing that I keep hearing about is how the Pats do a good job of taking away whatever it is that you like to do best. With the Hawks, what are you trying to take away?

If you try to take away Lynch, that means that you're going to have 8 in the box and rarely have more than 1 safety deep (or like what the Packers did on the game ending play, playing Cover 0) ... if you do that, you play into the hands of the Hawks passing game that struggles to make 5-10 yard passes but is strong in making chunk plays.

If you try to take away the zone read from Wilson and keep him in the pocket by making sure that the edges are covered not only for the run, but also for pass plays and him escaping containment, then you run the risk of the center of your defense being open to Lynch runs as well as open pockets for Seahawk passing behind the LB/S spies that are in place to defend against Wilson (think the wheel routes that the Hawks ran to Lynch as well as more potential options for the TEs).

And if you try to take the big chunk plays away in the passing game by playing 2 safeties deep, then you don't have enough in the box to slow down Lynch or Wilson.

I'd be shocked if Wilson has anywhere close to as bad of a game as he had against the Packers. Normally, great players rebound tremendously well after bad games and tend to play one of their better games. I expect that from Wilson in this game as the Pats will most likely ask him to beat them with his arm.
 
I'm not sure the Pats can take away Lynch, even if they want to. The only person capable of taking Lynch away is DarrellBevellFS

1) Russell Wilson ... best player on the field. Enough said about that. He has three years under his belt and will do everything possible to win the game.

2) Offensive Line ... they average 332 pounds across the line and they are ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Okung, Carpenter, Unger, Ossai, Sweezy, Bailey, and Britt. These boys have attitude and are ready to rumble.

3) Dan Quinn. Everybody speaks about the difference between Quinn and Gus Bradley. We will see a much improved defense from Quinn versus what Bradley showed the Pats 2 years ago.

4) Speed. Speed. Speed. This is the fastest Seahawk team in a long time. Robert Turbin, Jamaal Kearse, Ricardo Lockette, Paul Richardson, and Tharold Simon. While they often don't get their due respect, they will bring something that the Pats haven't seen before. Speed.

5) Time of Possession. I think the Hawks will dominate the time of possession behind the running of Wilson and Lynch. The more they can shorten the game and keep Brady's deflated balls off the field the better.

I think the Hawks win rather easily, say 34-17

What say you?
 
You had me going until you called Wilson a "great" player. You lost all credibility with that one. Tom Brady is a great player. Russ is good, not great.

HTH

I guess the Pats shouldn't even show up.
