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.

Game went pretty much how everyone said it would go.

Kickers get no respect smdh. MVP should have been someone from the defense or Myers

Congrats to Darnold! I can’t ever pull for the Patriots they came back to the Super Bowl way too soon for my liking.

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.

Congrats to the Seahawks!!

Now the only question is how do the seahawks get rid of Darnold this off-season?

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.
