As the resident Pats fan, I had been listening to folks spin out ways to upset the Seahawks. It was win the turnover battle of the qbs, contain Walker, don't let JSN burn you, and hope Borregales wins the place kicker battle. Lots of recall of Darnold's comment after his rookie start vs Pats ("I was seeing ghosts out there").
Basically, other than a pretty good performance by the DBs, none of that broke for the Pats. I watched the game with my regular Pats table at CCSP and we were sitting there saying / hoping for a pick 6 or Jones punt return because the O was just not going to be able to score. Of course, the killers were the turnovers and a pick 6 the other way.
If I were to second guess anything, I wanted Maye to run more. Maybe the rush didn't leave lanes, but 1 run in the 1st 3 quarters was just
No rollouts even with the flow through left side of the line.
I expect Campbell will get surgery on his knee. His comeback from the ACL probably explains some of his playoff problems with bullrushes.
Kudos to Seattle D. Pats faced 4 of the 5 best Ds in the playoffs. While they had problems with all of them, none did the job as well as Seattle.
