    Apparently the media thinks this is a neutral site game.


    Not the case.

    NE's white possesion receivers aren't exactly scary.

    Always about the whites

    No racist crap.

    NE's white possesion receivers aren't exactly scary.

    This. D Thomas, Decker, Welker, and J Thomas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Edelmann, Amendola, LaFell, Gronk, and it's not close. Gronk is a better TE than Thomas but NE's WRs are way worse. Brady and Manning are about the same, but Brady is more composed in big games. NE's line is worse than Denver's. Add that up, and the Pats aren't going to score much. Revis and Browner are going to make life difficult for the Hawk's receivers, but no one else on that defense scares me. I don't think they can stop Lynch. I feel more confident this year than I did last year.

    I just watched some of NFL Matchup and they exposed some of the picks and switches that fooled the Seahawks. I just don't see that working with two full weeks to prepare. Sure it might work for a couple of intermediate gains but Brady isn't going to throw for 400 yds or anything like that.

    Don't underestimate sneaky Pete's revenge factor either. It may have been 15 years since he was fired, but you don't forget that and he's going to want to stick it to Kraft.

    You may fool the Hawks once or twice ... But they will adjust and burn you right back

    This is a 12 post of the day, but most pundits are picking NE. Every mmqb.com (Peter Stooge King's website) writer picked NE. I just don't see it. I understand some picking the Patriots, but all of them? I think it's going to be a fun day.

    Agreed. Much like the national media was in love with manning last year, they're in love with the pats this year.

    The concern is that the Seahawks come out and shit the bed like they did against green bay. An "it's all good we'll find a way out of this hole" attitude won't work against brady. Seahawks are a second half team, but the first half can't be a complete dreck fest.

    Come out strong and focused from the beginning.
