Belichick recalling battles between ex-Giants TE Mark Bavaro and LBs Lawrence Taylor and Carl Banks. "Awesome." Talking up Bavaro for HOF.

Welcome, Matt. Glad to have you join us.

by Alisha Puckett, ESPN.com via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:30:06 PM
I also will be hosting our chat for the game itself as usual...should be a blast and make sure you stop back then as well

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:30:31 PM
Hey Alisha, great to be here...getting psyched up for this matchup

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:30:55 PM
How will the patriots stop Marshawn lynch or Russell Wilson knowing that both of them are major X factors on their team and how will the patriots secondary come into this game having a physical leader brandon browner on their team?

Danny Amendola wears No. 80, matching the number of times he has said the Seahawks are "well coached."

Heretofore a concern of central bankers trying to avoid a global economic downturn, the term "deflationary spiral" has acquired a far different meaning.

by BH via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:33:27 PM
Well, the Pats great secondary and the major advantage they have over SEA's pass catchers should be the key to their run support as well. I expect Belichick to leave his cover men on islands quite a bit and dedicate much of the D to stopping the run. GBay did a great job of taking Wilson out of the equation as a runner, but it is really tough to eliminate both Wilson and Lynch. I could see Lynch having a big day, but I just don't think that will be enough to keep up with NEng's O

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:33:28 PM
As for Browner, it wouldn't shock me to see him on Willson quite a bit in man coverage

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:34:04 PM
...And the ultra-athletic J Collins spying Wilson quite a bit as well

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:35:00 PM
I think the way the Pats offense is built makes it almost the perfect counter to Seattle's cover 3. They use a power running game, run a lot of short routes and attack he seams with the TE.

BB on Junior Seau who is a Hall of Fame candidate: "He is the Hall of Fame."

by John Pluym via twitter 1/27/2015 6:35:53 PM
Facing the SEA D is never a fun chore, but I do agree with you Drew...however, I thought the same thing a year ago with Denver's quick hitting passing game...that didn't turn out so great!

GRONK: "I love puppies, who doesn't" (and what you're hearing is the collective sigh of all kittens)

by Steve Weissman via twitter 1/27/2015 6:36:36 PM
But from a personnel perspective, I think DT is the weakest spot on SEA's D and I fully expect the Pats to attack downhill with huge personnel and a big power RB

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:36:48 PM
Can Seattle's O line give Wilson protection something which appears to be lacking this year

by jon via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:37:00 PM
SEA's Pass Pro is def a huge concern and they really have some average players in their OL, esp at RT. Wilson has been magnificent at extending plays and buying time all year, but my hunch is that Belichick doesn't rush him hard in this game. By that, I mean they may want to keep Wilson in the pocket and have him to challenge this great NE secondary with very average WRs

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:38:29 PM
That may be true Jolly K but I believe Brady is a much better QB than Peyton.

by scotty via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:53:30 PM
And Mike, to pull it off, your players still need to put Wilson and Lynch on the ground, which isn't always so easy

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:53:50 PM
How did BB contain Lynch when he was in buffalo?

by Ray via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:54:06 PM
Wow Ray, you are going way back! Way Back Ray! I honestly don't remember...sorry....didn't expect that question!

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:54:42 PM
Seattle is confident in their CBs. Sherman has said it is disrespectful to their other CBs to switch. It has happened when depth has become an issue. Sherman followed Dez Bryant when Seattle had 4 CBs injured

by Sarah Spain via twitter 1/27/2015 6:55:45 PM
Sherm has followed individual players at times, but I don't think they stay to one side because of respect. If PC thought it was best for their specific D, Sherm would shadow. He also is probably much more comfortable on the D's left side as well

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:56:46 PM
Dont forget the major weakness of the Denver offense, they align pre-snap and don't use enough motion to get defenders off the LOS . Teams with good Dbacks can pinch them better giving you a shot at Manning. Belichick did it for years...with Dlinemen built for size not speed

by Tschurr via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:57:06 PM
@matt and that's the game they lost to Dallas.

by sri via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:57:12 PM
But I will not argue that SEA's CBs outside of Sherman are a very underrated group, going back to last year

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:57:18 PM
Change of plans. Unlike last year, Marshawn Lynch has interview booth. Let's see if he uses it http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8YM-jECMAAEqFl.jpg

by Ed Werder via twitter 1/27/2015 6:57:58 PM
Good point TSchurr, while the SEA D is predictable, the Pats' O certainly is not and they excel in presnap movement and creating mismatches with formations, personnel groupings and movement before the snap
