I expect my Pats to take care of business in the Razor and defeat the 49ers for you. I just hope your Hawks can close it all out. Because I want a rematch in New Orleans!

I would be fine with that.

This Pats game is really worrying me. NE looked amazing last night and never loses at home in December. However I don't think it's all that easy.

SF is a great team and can beat anybody in the NFL. I know everyone is thinking NE will win this game and I hope they do....I just don't think it's a no-brainer.

We'll loan you guys the powers of the 12 and Tanzania. Should be a cake walk.

NOTHING is a guarantee win in the NFL. I just think their strength on O (running the ball) goes against our strength on D (run D)

I also believe the Pats O going be hard to stop.. Only concern I truly have is our CB injuries (hopefully they will be fine for sunday.)

NE 34
SF 17

My prediction

That New Orleans rematch would be a hoot. Would have to go through a couple of other teams that want a piece of Seahawk meat which would make it an epic tale.

First things first. Must beat Bills who have been recently playing better on the defensive side of the ball. Sounds like running on them will be a chore. Lynch vs Bills. Here we go!

I agree but no one thought the Texans be an easy W either (I still cant believe it was so easy.)

hope your teams plays as hard as the name you guys have for your stadium, the razor? sounds painful...

Hey, give us your take on the Bills. Pretty please.

This is really shaping up to make for an amazing story or an epic letdown haha. I BELIEVE!

They are skitzofrenic (sp?) one week look like world beaters the next week they look like a JV team.

Weakness: QB -- Make them throw and you WILL get turnovers.
Secondary -- Is gawd awful.
LBers -- Cant cover well

Strengths:
Spiller -- guy just seems always get 6-7 yrds a carry thankfully their coach is dumb and refuses to constantly feed him

D Line -- been playing MUCH better and Mario Williams has improved greatly since he had his wrist surgery..

all and all I see a hawks victory say 24-14

PatsFan,

It does seem as though our destinies are intertwined this year. I am hopeful that continues, and would love a rematch in N.O.!!! If for no other reason than you are a class act fan, and you have presented yourself as such all year.

Besides, despite my general dislike for Brady (I would love him if he were a Hawk, but I loathe his greatness and confidence on another team) and Deon Branch (who sucked for us, but always played well for you), your team continues to impress me. In particular, Welker and Wilfork, are two incredible players, who are having incredible years. And, regardless of whether I like the individual players, I will have a blast watching you guys kick the tar out of the 49ers.

Best of luck to you!!!

I don't think this game will be even close especially since Pats defense playing so well. What are they +24 in turnovers?

SCARY fact.... Pats have NEVER EVER lost in december at the Razor... EVER..

right after we beat the bills i will be the biggest pats fan on earth i will cheer my ass off for them in my living room

A few missed armguard PI's and a few ghost PIs against 49ers and the Pats should be able to dominate again....

Damn mikeak, that was a pretty backhanded compliment....

Welcome back, PatsFan! Believe me, we're rooting for you; and I'd love a rematch in New Orleans. I think it'd be a hell of a game, like the first one. Can you imagine the smack talk from Richard Sherman during the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl? I think ESPN would spend the whole two weeks orgasming.

God bless Tom Brady

Am I wrong? I was in a bar drinking so don't recall the names of any players but on that first drive by Houston - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The defender doesn't turn his head at all raises his arms and gets the WR's arm out of the way and no call........... kills the drive. Very clear armguard

Then on the next drive bad PI call against Houston

Later on another one that they even called out on Sportscenter where the WR gave up on the route and a bump as they took different ways to the ball - that is normally called uncatchable

Just saying. Don't get me wrong the NE win was good for us and I was pulling for it. This puts NE within 1 and they will come ready to play on Sunday against the 49ers I just don't like when refs calls the game different depending on who has the ball. Call it tight or call it loose - don't care just be equal

Yea, those calls were iffy and even had Jon Gruden complaining. But I'll take it

Gruden's opinion is just like everyone else.

A lot of those calls can go either way.

I agree the PI that was called could go either way that is the risk with contact.

The no-call....... No way that shouldn't be called. In college yes but NFL no way that should be missed. There should be three or four flags thrown as you can see the lack of turning his head from wherever you stand on the field.

I will take it as well but sad when this stuff keeps going on. I am still shocked by the CORRECT intentional grounding call against Brady playing the Hawks.

i'm actually feeling a little queezy just thinking i will actually be rooting on the patriots and pretty boy brady... i keep picturing him in that god awful bathrobe and ascott in the post game interview after our game.. i so wanted to punch him right in his mouth.... Go Pats!!!

I'd thought that as well before WE went up against the Niners. 175 Rushing Yards later ... and watching our DL getting blasted off the line of scrimmage ... I realized that these guys are pretty good.

Man I sure hope you're right. A Pats victory this Sunday would help us out a ton.

That is pretty good.

My question though, have you beaten any really good teams there? Just wondering, cause the 9ers are pretty darn good!

Wasn't it the Pats Sherman was saying was not built to win a fight...or built for 12 rounds or something like that? 9ers are exactly the kind of team that makes a finesse team quit. That absolutely monstrous Oline and Gore bruise you on offense, Willis and that D will make you pay for every catch and run you attempt, etc. I think NE wins thanks to HFA but I think it will be a tough fought game. X-factor is Kap. He plays an above average game managing with his arms and legs and 9ers win.

Well, we as fans can predict all day. However the game needs to be played, and it will remain to be seen if you will win.

Funny, but the more exposure I get to Brady, the less I dislike him. I actually like the dude now. Now that it looks like we have a franchise QB, I'm not as jealous of teams like NE. I actually admire them....Belichick is a hell of a coach. I really like PC, but I'd trade him for Belichick in a minute.

As for the Niners game....the Pats are playing very well against the run. They shut us down, and Houston down...two top rushing offenses. The Niners have a tricky run game; it keeps you off balance while running down your throat. Biggest thing you have going for you is Wilfork (no pun intended). He's having a career year. Hell, I was impressed...he was actually playing against Houston in passing situations. I think this is mostly a wash.

The Pats D is playing well at home. Houston has a lot more weapons than SF, and their QB is a much better downfield passer. The Niners aren't built to come from behind anyways, so I see the Pats getting out in front of SF and staying there. I don't think anyone can stop the Pats offense, especially at home, even SF's very good defense. If Solder can shut down Aldon Smith, I don't see SF getting enough pressure to rattle Brady. Smith isn't better than Watt is, and Watt couldn't get home in time. The Niners have 2 good CBs, but their nickle guy can't hang with Welker, who is having another career year.

I'll say 31-17 Pats win.

Wipe the floor with them Whiners on Sunday!!!

Sherman loves to talk smack, and there's not a more physical team in the league than Seattle

But wouldn't you call the Texans physical too? They just got flat out embarrassed.

I have not watched a lot of the Texans this year so I was a little short sighted with my statement. There is physical as a player and then there is physical as a team. I know JJ Watts is a baller but have not seen enough to say the same about the rest of the D. I have seen San Fran's D and I know that as a team, like Seattle, they are physical. By physical I mean they make you pay for every yard. No falling forward for 3 yards, no catch and an easy fall to the turf, it always seems to be painful.

Anybody that thought the Texans defense was truly elite didn't look at their schedule for most of the year.

Talk about a schedule.

How apropos that one dynasty would end in the same game that another begins.

preliminary forecast for sunday night:

Sunday: A chance of rain and snow. Cloudy, with a high near 42. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Sunday Night: A chance of rain. Cloudy, with a low around 32. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

basically mid 30's chance of showers. subject to change as we all know

I don't think weather matters at all unless it snows.

You really thing the 9ers are gonna roll over if it starts raining? They are a tough team, as are the Pats.

Be ready for a very physical game. These guys are going to come and punch you right in the mouth. They will do everything they can to with the battle in the trenches and if they do then you will fall.

The Pats better bring their big boy pants.

Hey that's what I said!!!!!

Not only do you need to win this game, I want the Niners bloodied and bruised. I want to see them come to the Clink completely unable and unwilling to deal what what the Hawks are gonna do to em. Now, can the Pats do it?

EDIT too bad Pats lost

Now way.... I want the 9ers ready to fight. NO EXCUSES.

We have to just flat out punch them in the mouth, not while they're down, but while they're at full health.

I would fully enjoy seeing the Pats beat the Niners. It would warm my heart. I know the Pats are an incredible football team, but we know this Niner team. They are the kind of team that will lull your defense to sleep, while wearing them down and then hit for a big one.

Their run blocking is unmatched IMHO and I have spent a lot of time just praying even our upper tier defense stop Frank Gore from gashing us over the years. The Pats are so good that they can score on anybody, but if they don't get out to a good lead, it could be a long night for the NE defense.

The Niners will beat you ugly and before you know it, a 4 point deficit will seem like 20. I just hope the Pats are as good as we all hope they are. I think it is safe to say that we are all Pats fans this weekend.
