"@PlayerInsiders: Beast mode! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8yi8FdCYAIXJXO.jpg" here's the Marshawn Lynch pic I took. Yes, that's a gas mask.

Over the past 2 seasons, the Patriots and Seahawks have both shown uncanny ability to win despite long odds: http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8ykSdnCEAAVTEi.jpg

Richard Sherman easily ranks No. 1 in the NFL in interceptions in the last 4 seasons http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8ykzisCUAAYMjC.jpg

Kicker Stephen Gostkowski concludes his pre-game warmup with a long of 57 yards. Ball exploding off his foot.

Richard Sherman just ran onto the field. Which must mean the baby has a good sense of timing.

by Jane McManus via twitter 2/1/2015 10:18:34 PM
Almost time for warmups. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8yn__qCcAExoS3.jpg

by kirkmorrison52 via twitter 2/1/2015 10:18:47 PM
As expected, rookie center Bryan Stork lines up with top group in warmups -- LT Solder, LG Connolly, C Stork, RG Wendell, RT Vollmer.

by Mike Reiss via twitter 2/1/2015 10:38:30 PM
There are honestly so many Jon. Lynch and Gronk are the two that I think "Get there's" pretty much no matter what, but one key to me is does NEng rush Wilson heavy or just try to contain him in the passing game

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 2/1/2015 10:38:37 PM
Couldn't agree more, MW. Smash with Gronk right out of the gate.

As much as I hate to admit it, I just have a feeling that this is Tom Brady's day. He isn't the type to fear a defense life this. This will bring the best out of him. Look out.

by Dan via ESPN 2/1/2015 10:39:54 PM
I expect to see a wide variety of tactics from Pats O (not from Sea's O though)...some very heavy sets and FB ISO runs as well as hurray up and spread

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 2/1/2015 10:39:58 PM
Stadium clock ticking past 50:00. Roof open. Cool air ciculating. Sun blinding upper decks behind #Patriots' sideline but that will change.

by SandoESPN via twitter 2/1/2015 10:40:16 PM
There's a great moment before games when players stretch and the coaches go around to each player. That's happening with Seahawks now.

by Jane McManus via twitter 2/1/2015 10:40:19 PM
Totally agree Tombo and in what should be a very competitive game, that certainly factored in my choice to pick Pats

I cannot explain the photo that attached to previous Tweet. Unintentional. Fortunately, Twitter is a place for understanding

Scandalous, @NYT4thDownBot is using outdated kicking data!

Another key: To me, the worst starter in this game is SEA's RT, Britt...I bet we see some Wilfork over his face on early downs and I like Ninkovich's chances against him on throwing downs...Britt will be challenged

I get so many more characters in this chat instead of Twitter....Loving it!

Keep an eye on Sherman and Chancellor. Sherman fielding punts with right arm, not injured left arm. Chancellor wearing bulky knee brace.

by John Pluym via twitter 2/1/2015 10:43:32 PM
So 90% Seahawksfans at the stadium. Does it matter? If so, how much?
