If you bet before the season started that the SB would be the Seahawks vs. Pats you're an absolute geniu... fuging LIAR! LOL

Probably one of the most unexpected SB matchups (compared to what was assumed at the start of a season) in forever.

Drake has a bright future, but this was way too much for him tonight.

6 sacks are hard to overcome, then add in the turnovers. I think he has a solid career ahead of him.

In another timeline, Wilks and Darnold are raising that trophy in black and blue 

Big defense big running game. All those draft picks we didn’t spend on junior to build a team from? 
Yeah that can’t be us. Not enough misery involved.

Yeah, literally nobody would've predicted that the Chiefs and Ravens would miss the playoffs and that the Pats and Seahawks would play in the SB. You could've bet a $20 bill on that parlay and retired on it.

I think we had a reasonable expectation that Seattle could be on the short list. 
The Pats? You would have been laughed at.

Why would there be any chance to acquire him? Before he is old and not good any more…

they will not cut bait on him any time soon. 

The only way is if Drake just doesn’t want to be on the Patriots long term. He’s a Charlotte kid, he married his middle school sweetheart. If the Panthers were ever a real opportunity for him I have to assume he’d also want to make that happen. Would take another 3 years minimum.

It wasn't the coverage, it was the pass rush scheme. Zone defense behind a dominant pass rush has always been a recipe for great D. That was what the original Seattle Legion of Boom was built around. The overloaded the left side of the Pats OL all night long knowing those rookies wouldn't be able to handle it. And just like Shula in SB50, McDaniels refused to adjust to it. Just like Shula, he just stuck his head in the sand and pretended that somehow it would just magically start working out at some point.

honestly, seattle did adapt on offense with walker for bits. and Sam made some of the throws. look he was pressured a bunch and missed some he would love to have back, but he didn't put them in turnover city. even without the best WR in the game today for stretches. 

pats refused to go with their own home run guy in henderson in the playoffs and it bit them. he was their top big play guy for a ton of games.

Surely there's no way the Pats don't invest big in the OL this offseason. They also gotta figure out if Campbell is the answer at LT. He got treated like a doormat by every team in the playoffs. If he wasn't dealing with some injury they were keeping quiet or something along those lines you really have to question if he's an NFL LT. Not saying he can't be a starter somewhere on the OL but you gotta question of LT is the right spot for him.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
