POLL: The ONLY Chance Seahawks Lose Is If...

[BASF]

Fact is that the NFL has several reasons to XL this game in favor of the Patriots, and that is one A.

Big props @HawkRiderFan for bringing up one B. Those DT's create problems and after watching The OLine Committee Youtube regarding our interior OLine, there are mistakes by Sundell and Bradford that can seriously be exploited.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Ok....HAWKS ARE WINNING THIS GAME!

 

[LeveeBreak]

Voted other

Only if our D forgets how to play football.

 

[Rat]

EVERYBODY is picking Seattle, so there's probably some element of trying to not buy too much into their own hype going. I would hope they're too well-coached for that, but upsets happen.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Zero chance this team isn't locked in. Ignoring the noise is their jam.

OTHER :

They won't lose.

 

[Rat]

I'm optimistic they'll do well cutting out the noise, but it's easier said than done, especially with so few members of the team having actually been in this situation before. I can only think of one player (Kupp) and one coach (Frazier), although I'll be surprised if there aren't a few others that aren't immediately coming to mind.

Four of the past five Super Bowls were won by the underdog, and the only one that didn't (Bengals) had their game down to the wire. Anything can happen on this stage.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Ernest Jones was on the Ram team that one it all too. One thing that has been easier for both team to avoid the noise is the way things have been spread out. If they are staying near their practice facility they are away from any of the normal Super Bowl stuff in San Fran.

If we are going to talk about player experience in the Super Bowl, how much to the Pats have? Milton Williams is all I can think of.

I'm curious if you guys are prepared for how much receiving work K9 is about to do. I'm predicting Kubiak is the one who is going to stop the run because he's never going to get it going. In case you don't know, the NE interior front is exceptional and i'm pretty sure Kubiak is barely going to skim the surface of even bothering.

Sunday we will use the pass to set up the run, and our main way to "run" the ball will be checkdown type outlet swings to K9 and let him go to work.

100%

I'd worry about that if Pete was at the helm (no, not bashing Pete...loved him long time...but he had his tendencies).

MM knows how to focuse the troops. MOB!!!

I can see a lot of trying to run outside. There's stats overload these days but Pats aren't as strong on outside runs but they are dynamite vs inside runs

Heard this on GMFB this morning. If Matt Stafford becomes the Patriots QB for the day. He's the only one that has us slightly figured out.

Good call on Jones. He's easy to forget about because you'd think the Rams would have wanted to keep him.

I forgot Darnold too, although I imagine it's much different when you're expected to play.

 

[hawkpride]

Having to also play the refs could lead to trouble, that's why I voted other.

Except take away Puka and Davonte Adams (and Kyren), and he won't do as well.

Rare voice of reason.

 

[50yrpatsfan]

He also doesn't have the offensive guru in McVay...the fact that the Rams have performed so great on the offensive side of the ball against our D speaks volumes about just how great of a coach McVay is...

When McVay achieves what Josh McDaniels has achieved as an offensive play caller, that may be the time to raise that point.

 

[ivotuk]

Is if Drew Lock has to play

 

[Seahawker]

We need to crush the Pat's SB48 style.
I want this to be Tony Eason vs the 85 Bears.
As if we needed any more motivation.

I don't like the fall out of the #1 seed success rate overall, tells me they were reading headlines and the underdog was hungrier.
