Pats will have a game plan to exploit that Def. early

[ZINISTER]

It has been proven that you can have success running on this defense. With that and some effective passing over the middle to Gronk, the Pats will get out to an early lead. Brady and company won't struggle in the red zone like GB. Seahawks offense was shut down. Wilson was knocked down, sacked or int. on nearly every play in the first half. Wilfork plugging the middle will help contain Lynch. The Pats LB's as a unit are faster then the Packers. This will keep Wilson from fleeing the pocket as easy. The coaching edge goes to Bill. This Patriot team doesn't take their foot off the gas. Stretching their lead and taking Seahawks out of their run first style offense is critical. Seattle has some key injuries. Let me know what you think. Peace

Pats and over 47.5 for me, I'm on it since the beginning. I was able to have some Pats +3.
No way Bill will lose another Super Bowl.

GB got an insane amount of pressure on the QB in the first half? Did you watch NE vs. Baltimore? Baltimore was setting up perfect pockets and holding them for 6 seconds every time. Lynch is one of the best RBs in the NFL and is so because of vision and perseverance. One man standing across from the center is going to contain him when they couldn't even contain Forsett. - On to your assessment with of "It's proven that you can have success running on this team." Is akin to saying the Jags can have success passing the pall its been proven. Seattle has the 2nd best Run D in Yds per carry and the 3rd in total yds allowed.

Good points Odd. I said Wilfork would 'help' in containing Lynch. He prevents the up the middle runs forcing Lynch to bounce outside. NE doesn't have a great pass rush. But, Seattle's line has a less then 100% center in Unger. Their back up Rt. tackle doesn't look to be able to protect Wilson. Flacco did have tons of time. NE was sending 3 pass rushers way too much knowing Wacco would throw it to them. That's how he made a sandwich before he threw the ball. Seattles' defense is very good. But, they are weaker in the run. Good coaches have devised successful blocking schemes against them. They are weak in the pass over the middle. Seatles' secondary doesn't have many looks. Brady will have enough success to win this one. And for the Jags passing Bortles has no top WR, just like Seattle. I think this match up favors NE. GL
