I meant he was 9-0 against superbowl winning quaterbacks. I guess became 10 today.

To me, this is like Cena vs Orton, in that I don't care either way, lol.

I think Seattle repeats, 21-17. Then the talk will resume about how Bellicheck hasn't won since the "scandal". Ha!!

I understand that. But the defensives will neutralize each other unless Revis somehow gets injured early in the game. And to be honest I think the Pats have the better offense of the 2 but the Seahawks probably will be able to shutdown their offense. And if the Pats can stop the run they will likely pull out a victory.

Oh, I'm aware of that. I was just saying that Tom Brady is already part of that statistic.

To me, it's like Austin vs Hart in that whoever loses, they're still going to get mad respect and maybe even MORE love than the actual winner.

Detroit loses a heartbreaker to Dallas...who then loses a heartbreaker to GB who then does the same against Seattle. Hopefully that trend continues for one more week.

Hard to get a read on this matchup. On the one hand, I think Gronk is a bit of a nightmare for the Legion of Boom. If there's one big difference between last year's and this year's Seattle defense, it's defending the TE. Football Outsiders ranks them 18th overall and the one elite TE they faced this year, Antonio Gates, went absolutely off on them. On the other hand, Seattle has basically made a living out of eating up short passing attacks like NE.

Don't know which one of those factors ends up winning out though.

TBH I don't even know if the LOB is on Gronk. I think one of their linebackers could be able to keep him at bay. Like a Bobby Wagner or KJ Wright.
