Superbowl 60 Patriots vs Seahags Discussion

I mean the Seahawks are a good team but they're not a historically great team lol this is getting to disrespect levels
I think they are a fraudulent team. Their hype is a product of two things:

1. The illusion that the NFC is a stronger conference simply because Mahomes, Lamar, Burrow, and Allen had a down year.
2. People having Patriots Derangement Syndrome and wanting anyone but the Pats to win.

The Seahawks were, at any point in time, considered a better defense than Houston's. The Texans defense was being compared to the 2000 Ravens, and virtually everyone was saying that their defense was the best unit in the postseason. In fact, the Texans were seen as the best AFC team and a legit threat to win it all. Once the Patriots beat the Texans and it became clear that they would be headed to the SB, all of that hype was transferred from Houston to Seattle.

I never bought the NFC hype. Never thought the Rams were anywhere close to the best team in the NFL like many others did. Their defense was pure trash over the last couple of months. The Bears were extremely flawed. Philly had no offense. The 49ers had half of their squad on IR.

The Seahawks defense has been badly shredded by every good offense/QB they have faced.

Their offense goes entirely through their run game. If they can't get the run game going and they can't live in their usual run+playaction loop, they can't do anything on offense. Their run game has no chance against our run defense, and this will probably be the worst IOL we've seen this postseason. Williams and Barmore are going to wreck their entire offense. We will turn this into a dropback passing game for them, and Darnold won't be able to carry them because he is a mid QB, and has been for most of the season.
 
Pure gut feeling here, but I think the Pats are far more flexible on both sides of the ball. Also, I see more focus on Hunter and Hooper - the Seattle D is not known for locking down TEs.

The Pat's D - Get Milton and Barmore on track and Darnold will be seeing ghosts again. Gonzo locks down their #2 WR, Davis with safety help can limit JSN.
 
the halftime show has been gay for a while
give me Metallica or something but whatever the NFL going international and Bad the biggest artist right now. I have a few family members who only watch soccer and tuning in for just Bad
Exactly. I don’t care for his music personally but this is all about expanding the NFL’s audience. As a business decision, it makes perfect sense.

I mean shit give me Slayer for a halftime show, that would be sweet.

Slayer?

Hell yes!

Although, if the NFL wants to stay in the rap realm ... Bring on the Beastie Boys.

Beastie Boys are awesome and I still don’t think they get the credit they deserve.

I’m only 41 so not trying to sound like a fogey here, but they don’t make music like they used to. (I’m sure every generation says this.)

Dawg imagine slayer playing angel of death in front of millions lmaoo
 
I saw that munford was limited on the injury report yesterday. am I the only one who is a little concerned with this? he's usually the sixth offensive lineman, and I think that could be a big deal against that seattle front.

Seasons ...

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane

The NFC was 25-13 vs the AFC through week 7.


By the end of the season, the gap closed almost completely to 41-39. 3rd most balanced season since 2000.


The NFC West was also very overrated. They played the South divisions who always suck. 49ers were half their normal squad.
 
49ers were half their normal squad.


That's the part that makes the "Patriots got lucky in the playoffs" argument so idiotic. The Patriots had to play an extra game, and the Seahawks got to play a completely depleted 49ers team that was far more injured than any of the 3 teams the Patriot faced.
