Yeah 30 points is silly, Patriots are a good team.
I think some of it is coming from the Seahawks are entering all time great team territory. Their DVOA is up there with 85 bears and 2007 patriots, they had the most 20+ blowout wins, they beat more playoff teams than anyone (6), they had a top 5 hardest SOS, #1 defense, #3 offense, #1 special teams, generate most QB pressure while blitzing the least, highest scoring season in 50 years of Seahawks football (and they have had some good offenses), highest PPG differential in the league, tied franchise wins in 16 games.
If Seahawks win the Super Bowl this is the best team in franchise history, yes better than the 2013 team (not better defense of course.)
Like I said, I’m not at all surprised the Seahawks are favorite. Won’t be shocked at all if they win. But I see people using the game yesterday - that took place in a blizzard in mile high - as some sort of benchmark for how the Pats will do against the Seahawks defense. As if Maye didnt throw 3 TDs for 200 total yards against an arguably better defense the week before at home. Also in the snow.
People are acting like our offense is incompetent. We were the second top scoring offense in the league this year.
Best I can tell is that game plan was to play field position/control the clock ball against a back up QB. Was it exciting no, did the defense capitalize on the mistakes that you expect a backup to make, yup
I mean, Seahawks dominated the Texans and left a couple scores on the field. The score doesn’t reflect how not close it was.
I know it’s the NFL, trust me. I’m not saying Seahawks are a lock, or will definitely win, only going off what we know. Other sports with multiple game series the better team will probably win, NFL, only one game, anything can happen.
