StefanAVFC Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 He will be doubled by the best SS in the league and KJ/Wags. Which means one less defender stopping Edelman slants or Blount rampages. Which is what I said in my OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 regardless, two men on gronk means less men on everyone else, so gronk will always be a factor our running game is crucial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 #Deflategate Another witch hunt, prepping balls to accommodate for weather conditions is a league wide practice, including deflating them, it's been going on for decades. But coaches will plead ignorance and let the Patriots take the fall again. #Hategate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 And any advantage a deflated ball might give you is negligible. Brady was picked off twice in that game, and the Pats relied heavily on their running game. Steve Young last night said deflating a ball would have no effect on the final score of any game, I'll take his word on that.In other words, a whole lotta nothing going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What's supremely ridiculous about this is that the NFL allows teams to use their own footballs. There should be one supply of balls that the officials are in control of. For a league that micromanages everything, I'm surprised they let this happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Going to be a very close one, won't be a blowout like last year... Think the Pats edge it by 3. Edited January 21, 2015 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Changed my vote to the Patriots. Just a feeling. Will surely be close game this year, right? I hope so at least. Kind of like last year with a great offence vs a great defence, though the Pats have a much better D than the Broncos did last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Gronk won't be a factor. Riiiiiight. Seahawks D is superb, granted, but Gronk is an animal. Way to take a single quote out of context. He will be double covered by the best SS in the game and KJ Wright, a fantastic LB. I didn't say 'lol gronk will be shut down and seahawks win easily!!11!!1 The Gronk factor won't be as prominent so the game will be on the Pats WR's imo. In the same way that Gronk wasn't a factor in the AFCCG. But our secondary is much better than the Colts' Edited January 23, 2015 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
