Patriot Fans being delusional part two…

Looks like someone's been into the Sam Adams a bit too hard.

I consider Boston a sister city to Seattle, I hope we both get back to the bowl after this bowl and it's closer, because this one won't be.

Joe likes Sam Darnold (I put up a new thread with a tweet of him saying so).

It is more about niner fan having to suffer the indignity of watching one of their all-time heroes hand us a Lombardi on their home turf.

Jerry Rice or Ronnie Lott will do fine as well.

We got lucky against the Rams! You mean when we gave them the ball back for taunting something that could easily not been called. And after a 4th and 12? And they went right after Woolen, lucky for us they got an td. Score rightfully should’ve been 31-23 cuz down 11 they probably kick a fg. And we were so lucky when Young over ran the 1st muffed punt. And lucky to get the Rams instead of the Bears!!!

Who have the Seahawks really played? | Pats Pulpit

We hear a lot about the Patriots and their weak schedule. I just finished reading an article that said this Super Bowl would be an absolute blowout, with the Seahawks embarrassing the Patriots. So I looked at their schedule to see what their bona fides are. Because the Patriots have the same...

OY

Keep giving our team motivation. This is kind of shit that our team feeds off of while not feeding into the bullshit.

I fully trust MM will have them ready but the way this team is wired he won’t have to do much.

Someone tell that dude we’ve lost 3 games by 9 nine total points… 9!… in the NFL… from the NFC west that represented 3 of the 4 finalists in the playoffs… and two of those 3 losses are from 2 of the 3 other finalists in the playoffs in the NFC. What a dip shit.

Your team lost to the Raiders...I don't care if it's week 1. It's the Raiders and they only won 3 games all season. Let that sink in.

That wasn't a good day but do you think it has any bearing on this upcoming game?

 

[hawker84]

Well the Rams mostly rushed 4 down, but there were a couple times they blized and thats when sam was sacked.

Every td he threw he had someone in his face. The td to bobo he was actually getting tackled when he threw it.

Only if it fits YOUR narrative.

Yeah, he was, but it was from a normal 4 person rush...I could be wrong, but I don't think it was a blitz.

None of the previous games do. NFL is a matchup league. What matters is who can play their best on Superbowl Sunday. Stating that the Seahawks aren't battle tested and haven't beaten anyone are extremely disingenuous statements. Many Pats fans are spouting this garbage.

Does it matter? 4 man rush or blitz, the defender was there and still got scored on. Win for Sam Darnold and Seahawks. On a blitz means there would be one or more less defenders to stop the thrown pass. With weapons like JSN, Kupp, Barner, Shaheed, Walker, and even guys like Bobo have shown they can make a clutch catch. So the choice is to die by not blitzing or blitz and still die. Which would you choose? The Pats may get him a few times but Sam will make them pay as well. Sam survived a 3 turnover game and beat the Rams. At the time, the Rams were ranked as the top team in the league. They were never the same after that game.

It was amazing to tell you the truth, that he stood in there, and like you said.. soon as he released, he was getting clobbered.

Sam Darnold is one TOUGH S.O.B., man.

 

[glenwo2]

From patsfans:


"The Seahawks defense's stats and rep has been propped up by playing a lot of average to below average to awful QBs"

This is the one that makes me laugh out loud.

 

[hawkfan68]

Original context was lost .

The context was that Sam Darnold crumbles under pressure. Which is incorrect. Darnold's worst game was when he threw 4 picks against the Rams in LA (week 11). The Seahawks still had a chance to win that game but missed a late FG and lost 21-19. Incidently that was the last loss the Seahawks had so far. The Seahawks have a team that can overcome Darnold's mistakes. Darnold himself can brush off his errors and keep the Seahawks in games. He has done this multiple times this season.

Arguments over who has played a harder schedule is completely irrelevant to me. We will struggle to run the ball I think given their elite D lineman and our less than elite O lineman. The question is can we make plays in the passing game which I think we can.
I think their offense will struggle for the most part. If we can generate consistent pressure I think we win this game. If not Maye will be able to complete some big passes. In a tight game that might just be enough. Especially if there D generates more turnovers like they have.
I think we win but I can see anything from us blowing them out if we turn them over to a real defensive battle that could go either way.
I do not expect a Pats blow out but that could be my homerism coming through. anything is possible I guess but that in my mind is highly unlikely.

Also, we can make up for an ineffective running game with the Screen game.

Remember how early on in the season it looked like the team didn't have a friggin' CLUE as to what a Screen game is?

This will be the gamebreaker against that Run D of New England's.

Although I think their Run D is a bit overrated.

 

[Dolomight12]

EASIEST SCHEDULE IN THE NFL IN OVER 20 YEARS. Don't sit here and act like the Pats didn't have an easy road. Wow
And no, the Hawks did NOT get lucky. You clearly didn't watch the game.

Talk to em!

 

[Torc]

This is the one that makes me laugh out loud.

Me too. The Patriots play in a division that made them play against the number 29 and number 25 defense twice a year (the jets and the dolphins). They also play the number 4 offense (the bills). Nine of the opponents they faced (in 11 games) were so bad they fired their coaches.

The Seahawks are in a division with the number 1 and number 10 offense (LA and SF respectively), with the worst team at #23 in points scored.

All due respect and all that, but the idea that the Seahawks faced below average QBs is pretty silly.
