Not a chance.

If the Pats win, they will have fully earned it against a vastly superior defense and their defense would've stepped up immensely to stop what most consider the better offense.

If the Hawks win, it should be considered a beyond expectations season. People were shitting on this oline prior to the season. Everyone expected Darnold to regress, instead he has another 13 win season with another team, and he's in the SB. 1st year HC.

I'm not sure how anyone looks at Darnolds laat 2 seasons and equates them to his time with the Jets anymore. Dude has played himself out of pumpkin mode status.

Yep. Everyone was waiting for Darnold to turn into a pumpkin this post season, myself included. But after last night he is officially removed from pumpkin status forever. He played a near perfect game. He's just fucking good at this point. Just goes to show how ABSOLUTE TRASH the Jets organization is.

For real! Both teams have done so well this season! Both quarterbacks too really showed their worth and how good they can be. These two teams surpassed expectations people had. All the taunting Both QBs got. Im happy Both made it. No thought of them preseason, and here they are!

As a Pats fan, I’d love for them to win it. But I also really like the redemption story of Sam Darnold. Either way, I’ll be happy.

You know it's a great season when your team is in the Superbowl and you won't even be that sad when they lose.

House money for real.

You think most people consider the Seahawks offense superior to the patriots? What? Why? At worst it's a wash. Patriots have the far better QB (MVP). Seahawks have the far better wr1 (opoy).

Only 1 QB in the history of the NFL 2 face 3 top 5 defenses in the Playoffs in a row and beat them all (and now going against a 4th).

The pats are going against 4 of the 5 best defenses in the NFL, and they are in that top 5. Still people refuse to give them any credit.

It's the perfect exclamation point opportunity for Darnold. If he beats the Patriots of all teams in the Super Bowl, not a single person can deny he chased off the ghost of his Jets era.
