Will have it sometime tomorrow if no one else wants to do it.
 
Nahh...wipe this game from your memory bank..like boxing, styles make fights...indy was way in over their heads tonight. Yes, sea got "lucky"..but give them credit too..those 2 goal line stands were huge. The difference between it getting away and staying in it. And 2 of russ' picks were blatant drops. Lynch still ran wild and the pats run defense let forsett run on em.

Classic example. NYG 41-0 over minny in 2000 NFC title game, everyone saying they're more balanced than balt...what happens? 34-7 balt. With that 41-0 game fresh in the peoples minds...just like this indy drubbing.

So let's talk about this one..den has a lot of underneath weapons with an immobile QB....same as NE...crossing routes/WR screens/screens...no deep threats. In a way, I see a lot of GBs offense minus QB mobility and the WRs being less dynamic. Bend/don't break.
I see marshawn with another 100+ yds and baldwin/kearse/l.wilson doing just enough...but not having tate/percy will have a negative effect (as we've said all yr)...I still have to mull it for 13 days..but I could see it going either way with a microscopic lean to sea straight up...esp on that "artificial grass" surface in U of P stadium. Bodes well for the speed of the sea defense, IMO.
 
Anyone think Aaron's injuries today played a part in GBs overall ineffectiveness offensively? Not down playing how the Seattle D played but it seemed at times his lack of running or scrambling really hurt. Maybe hurt him throwing as well?

I think he played well and the injury didn't hold him back. That onside was a back breaker for them and being so conservative on those two early first and goal scores.
 
Power went out for most of the second half of Colts/Pats so I only caught the tail end of the massacre at Foxboro.

Props to @DeadsetAce, @iLLoQuent aka DSK, @Rolaholic, @Mr Marcus, @green rhino123 and the other Patriots' fans.

Say what you want about the Patriots: Brady is a whiny ***** (which has some merit)

, Belichick has no soul, Spygate and so on, but the organization has been the model of consistency for over a decade. Can pencil them in the AFCCG every year. Six Super Bowl appearances in the Brady/Belichick era with an opportunity to win a 4th Lombardi.


Respect.
 
Pats about to wash Seattle.

Seahawks were outplayed their entire game, and made back-to-back plays towards the end of regulation to get in it.

Pats dominated their game, from the jump.
Wilson ain't ready to match wits with Brady and Seahawks won't have a weak defense hold them down but, a solid one.
