Seahawks/Patriots O/D performance chart

[Ruminator]

If I were a Pats fan, I'd find this chart pretty depressing:

 

[JustTheTip]

They won’t find it depressing. They are going to stop jsn and have already dealt with defenses much better than ours. We are about to find out just how easy we have had it this year. It is very obvious that dude cherry picked to make that chart.

More depressing :



depressing for the Pats, I mean.

 

[projectorfreak]

I can't wait to buy some seahawks sb champions merch , just not from fanatics cuz that stuff is total garbage but that being said do your homework this year on what you buy and enjoy
Go Hawks

Is there a world where the Pats could win this game? Are there aspects that are being overlooked?

On paper Seattle should dominate, but 4 out of the last 5 Super Bowl winners were underdogs going into the game.

Everyone is also citing "strength of schedule" but guess what? The teams with the weakest strength of schedule historically, who made the SB, also WON their Super Bowls... so it's not really about SOS. It's about the match ups in THIS game - barring fluky stuff like ref interference, injuries, special team errors, fumbles, etc.

I don't see this as a blowout unless Sam plays out of his mind again.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

To me, the only team that can beat the Seahawks is.........the Seahawks.

 

[GemCity]

My opinion has zero bearing on the outcome of this game but, I’ll say this confidently.

The Pats are about to get spanked. They’re in the SB for a reason, but I have zero doubt that this game will be the hardest they’ve had this year.

And all this talk I see in the media about Gonzales on JSN…give me a damn break. JSN is going bust that boy up.

I predict a very comfortable win. Very comfortable.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That would be amazing. Fingers, legs and other stuff crossed

Also has an injured throwing shoulder. If his arm isn't 100%, he's in deep trouble.

About Gonzo, I'll say it again :

If Better CB's like Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter (Texans) couldn't even slow him down, what makes Pats fans think Gonzo by his lonesome is going to?

I'll just say this :

It's very difficult to blow out a team.

But it's easier to win by multiple scores, though, which is what I think will happen.

(and yes, I am certainly rooting for Sam to kick some ass again. Maybe if he pretends that Drake Meh is Stafford...)

That's how I see it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just don't get them short fields.

The Seahawks are the better team, but the Patriots have some strengths on defense that the Seahawks will have to contend with.

The Patriots' cornerbacks are good--not just Christian Gonzalez, but Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones are all legit. Their defensive line is solid, especially in run defense. Milton Williams and Cory Durden are the real deal.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Pound the rock, dink and dunk, play smothering/violent defense. Victory.

Yes their D is way better than 9ers and also better than the Rams.

Bradford and Sundell need to bring their A game, because strong interior pressure can throw Sam off his spot.

Careful man, you never want the beans on top of the frank. You're gonna have a bad time.

I’d expect thier defense on the stat sheet to look better when they’re playing shit teams. The stats sheet MAKES them LOOK better than they actually are.

Then against it seems this fan base still lack a lot of trust. So say we yall want and keep being pessimistic.

Most of yall are being pessimistic so you can reserve the right to do the whole “TOLD YOUR SO!” Chest beatin. Which is fine, I got something in store for those who do it, if god forbid this team collapses.

The Patriots defense (23rd, +5.5% DVOA) is not even remotely better than the Rams (4th, -12.4% DVOA).
