nfl 2014-15 playoffs: SUPER BOWL XLIX patriots vs. seahawks

not sure you can say NE only runs the ball to keep defenses honest when they have just successfully used a rush-heavy gameplan in the championship game. and the biggest question for the game is whether seattle can actually get to the QB with 4 men, they are one of the league's more blitz happy teams.

however

i don't think the pats will plan to run the ball 40 times and i think seattle prob can get a lot of 4 man pressure on ol' softballs. patriots have to score 24+ to win this i think and i am not sure they will be able to. it will be close though, nothing like last year's game. if a team gets destroyed in this game it'd have to be the seattle team that played the first 55 minutes last week.

seattle been not too impressive this year, strangely overrated

The 2014 Patriots were just the 3rd team in the last 25 years to never have lost a fumble at home! The biggest difference between the Patriots and the other 2 teams who did it was that New England ran between 150 and 200 MORE plays this year than those teams did in the years they had zero home fumbles, making the Patriots stand alone in this unique statistic.

Wow!

pats fans really gonna delude themselves into thinking this huh

its true man! they started off real slow then had a very good second half then played two poor playoff games

i mean russell wilson just played quarterback about as bad as possible a few days ago

i'm not overly into seattle's front 4 and can imagine a couple ways to move the ball against the squawks but this game hinges on the patriots holding seattle under 20, which is certainly in play.

not sayin they cant win but im not liking them nearly as much as i was last year when they were just clicking

that kind of defensive intensity fwiw is notroiously hard to maintain

seattle's defense is historically good though, it's not just a normally good defense

masterful performance by brady here by not simply laughing at everyone and yelling ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS again and again

if i was going to construct an argument for how this is not going to be the third version of giants vs pats it would be that perhaps seattle's secondary will be bothered by having to cover shorter, quicker WRs and maybe earl thomas and kam chancellor aren't used to being challenged in pass coverage by a player as good as gronkowski

gronk is a game changer for sure

love how pissed off those reporters look

sports reporters love to pretend to be real reporters

Seahawks CB Jeremy Lane on Rob Gronkowski: "I actually don't think he's that good.

ok "Jeremy Lane"

That's some Lanesanity right there

sorry

prob meant "that good at dancing" which is also wrong

NFL investigators are on the Boston Post Road as we speak, on their way to interview Brady & Co. They're just a few miles away from the Wayside Inn, where they'll spend the night and rest the horses, spent from four days of travel.

they've had some bad performances man, receiving corps is wack

I think the Pats success really comes down to how well they will be able to run the ball. Seattle has such a fantastic defensive backfield, they can keep linebackers up tight to cut off clubs running and screen game. You got to think Chancellor is going to be shadowing Gronk and Kam is just as freakishly impressive an athlete. Seahawks are also like B-more and Pittsburgh where they are good at hiding who is the blitzer. Seattle's defense is built on superior speed and stealth planning.

Don't like either club, but I think football match up wise, it's pretty damn interesting.

The name of the magazine is Sports Illustrated for god's sake. It was patterned after Life magazine. Photos are the reason for its existence.
