You can take heart that Seahawks are zen like relaxed right now. I've been watching recorded coverage all week, and the most relaxed people are the Seahawks players. Well except Katy Perry.
I felt myself getting nervous hearing analyst after analyst start picking the Patriots. Then I realized, the Bronco's had the BEST OFFENSE IN NFL HISTORY last year and they got scimpalacashalaka'd.
Then I think about the defenses we played this year. Sorry, but Revis and Collins does not equal challenges against Carolina, St. Louis, Arizona, Denver, or San Francisco.
Aaron Rogers with a run game was the toughest game we will play this year (twice). And let's be honest. Our D pretty much dominated that game until Aaron's last drive.
So that means the only thing left is Bellichek pulling some shenanigans. Even then, meh.
Now, NE did have the 2nd past pass protecting O-line in the league this year (but you can make an argument about their SOS). So we may have some problems in our base 4 man rush. But I'm betting we know this, and know we will have to bring extra pressure from different angles. But at the end of the day, we have had bigger challenges this year.
