bostonhardo":tnenokwk said:Good point Laloosh. Let's talk intelligent football. Do you think Lynch will improve on his career 3.7 YPC and 53 YPG with only 1 touchdown in 6 games against the Pats? or do you think BB gameplans so well against him that Wilson will win the game for you?
Yeah, I think he'll exceed those numbers. I don't think it's an either/or scenario by the way.
A lot of teams game plan to stop Lynch and even manage to do it for large chunks of the game but he usually gets going in the 2nd half. I'm more inclined to think that RW winds up with some explosive plays on the ground this week. I think your front seven are on the slow side and wouldn't be surprised to see Turbin's speed show up in this one.
Wilson generally does wind up having to "win the game" for us in close games because teams sell out to stop Lynch (see GB in overtime of the NFCC) and it winds up being their fatal mistake.
The teams obviously have not played since 2012 and I don't think Lynch's "career stats" against them really matter. Brady is 0-1 against the Seahawks since RW was drafted but I don't base my opinion of this game on that stat.
How about you?
Oh, and I don't think NE's pass rush will really be more of a factor than DEN last year. Even with our sketchy offensive line, I think Russell finds himself with more time than he's accustomed to with these NFCW defenses that he faces. Might result in some explosive plays in the passing game on Browner's side of the field.
