One of the Pats' weapons which many teams, including the Seahawks, do not have an answer for is no. 87. Gronkowski is a beast when it comes to making big catches, especially in third down situations.

He has the size, strength, and speed to intimidate any opposing team's defence.

I've been a Patriots fan since 2001. If the Patriots play the Seahawks for the Superbowl, Gronk can be the game changer. Brady just needs to make good passes to Gronk and let the beast do his thing.

Edelman and Amendola are not too shabby either. :smug:

No question Gronk is really the "it" factor. If he can find room and make those clutch catches that will win them the game.

That I agree with, if they get in a hole quick they might not be able to get out unlike the Pats which is the best come from behind team in the league.

SICK THROW IN OT!

Seahawks!

What a friggin comeback baby!!!

SEAATTLE SEAHAWKS :victory:

:fuckyea:

What an insane game.

I still can't believe what I saw today. The whole game looked like the Packers to lose. One horribly bad-luck bounce was their undoing. You couldn't make that kind of ending up

f--k GreenBay defend.
Total broke down in last 5 mins.

Aw yeah, it's gonna be one heck of a Superbowl game between my Patriots and the Seahawks. :fuckyea:

FYI, I found this Boston Pizza contest to win end zone tickets to the Superbowl game, Budweiser merchandise, hotel and airfare, and a prepaid credit card for spending. Entry deadline is January 18th.

Go Patriots!!!

Just entered as well

That Seattle comeback was one of the most amazing sporting events I've ever seen. Everything before that was brutal, but after that fake field goal TD, they were unstoppable.

But man that Pats game was a stinker. Running the score up on them was not fun to watch...

I have to say, the way they declare guys eligible and ineligible on just about every play, yes I know it's within the rules. But it is a really smelly way to play the game. It's especially bad when the ref declares the guy, and they snap the ball right after that. That is bullshit to me... The rules state that the defending team needs "reasonable time" to react to the declaration. Look back at the game last week where Harbaugh got the penalty... It was because the ref declared him to one player, and the play started right after that. They did that a few times in this game too, and it worked every time.

I'm very interested to see what Seattle's gamplan is for Gronk. In the NFC Championship Seattle looked pretty ugly on D, but have shown that they are pretty dominant when on point. That said, Gronk.

It's too bad Sherman was injured (by Earl Thomas too I think which stinks). Given how bad it looked at the time and during the rest of the game, I'm not so sure 2 weeks is enough to get it close to 100%.

Again this is within the rules (sort of.. the refs need to control the pace better) but what a gross way to win. Pats are such a shit team to watch. They have some amazing players, Brady and Gronk and Blount. But man what a brutal game... And after all that, they keep trying to run the score up on them... Fuck the Pats, I really hope they get blown out like the Broncos did.

The Pats were playing the game and they didn't really run the score up they ran the ball at the end of the game and the showed why they are where they are. This is the AFC Championship and if Wilson plays like his did against the Packers in the Super Bowl the Pat's will eat them alive. The Pats are firing on all cylinders right now and the Hawks better be ready cause Brady is coming for that 4th ring to guarantee him being named the best QB in NFL history.

Thank got for the Steelers releasing Blount at the end of the season since its made the Pats that deeper of a threat and I honestly can't see the Hawks beating the Pats right now especially with the injuries they seem to have.

Hate the way he plays his game but Belicheck is the greatest coach in NFL history, the way his plays might be dirty in your eyes but man its smart and keeps other teams thinking which is a big part of the game!!

I'm just happy I'm been a die hard pats fan for 15+ years and it feels great to see them win like thy have. The showed against the Ravens they came come back and win and know how to play with a lead unlike the Packers!!

Go Patriots Go!!

-Going for it on 4th and 4 in the 4th quarter with a 24 point lead
-Passing plays with 5 minutes left when they're up by 38

Just kind of gross to watch, is all. I actually wanted the Patriots to win, so Wilson could keep piling on the list of wins against SB winning QB's (he's at 11-0 now I think)

They didn't lose because of one bounce. They lost because they failed to get touchdowns, and had to settle for field goals FIVE TIMES. Including two from the ONE YARD LINE because their coach was too pussy to go for it.

Successful coaches go for the win in the playoffs, not field position. Guys like Carrol, Harbaugh, Bellichick.

Belicheck has always down that in Realgar season and of course the playoffs. You might think its sick but get in all the plays and make the 4th down calls so the team can react better in the big game and have less to worry about.

I'm just happy Eli isn't playing in this Super Bowl lol

Yes you're correct GB left points on the board early on. But had they taken possession on the onside kick, it's pretty much game over. Even losing the onside kick, all they had to do was play the same defence they were playing all game and just force a 3 and out (or even make Seattle settle for a FG). They happened to not do so. And as awesome as Clinton-Dix played, what was he thinking on that conversion play. He basically gave Willson a free shot at the ball.

The SEA/GB game was so awesome the gf actually watched the whole game again on her own since I pvr'ed it.
