Yeah, and the 49ers just beat two playoff teams in a row in their house. Regular season doesn't mean anything anymore.

They all had a lot of easy games. The point was none of these teams are unbeatable and calling SEA vs 49ers as the real Super Bowl just isn't true. You have 2 incredible defenses in the NFC and 2 incredible offenses in the AFC. Next week and the Super Bowl are going to be amazing No matter who makes it.
But really thinking about it, I don't see SF beating SEA in Seattle or beating the Pats/Broncos. I also can't see SEA beating either AFC team on the road.

I thought I was the only one who despised the Patriots and avoid watching them. Just something about them really rubs me the wrong way.
Their running game is successful because they've always had a very good OL and have always been well coached. Well, that and the video tapes ahead of time of other teams play calls. That helps, too.

So, wtf is your point? You're bitching about an "easy schedule". Win or lose, it doesn't make the schedule "easy".
Pats lost to bengals but browns they beat.
hell all 4 losses the pat's had were 7 points or less. losses by : 7 3 4 and 4 each one they could have won.
right now the pats can run - in my opinion- on any team, IF the pats run successfully vs the bronco's they can keep manning off the field, manning off the field= him not scoring.
plus if they run often, that means the passing game should open up, like that 50yarder to amendola which happened due to the safety "cheating" to stop the run on play action due to all the running they did that game.
seattle, SF and denver all give up 3.9 yards a carry (NE 4.5 but they've gotten better the past several weeks as the new guy's adapted)- though seattle has the worst run D of the bunch the yards per attempt is the same.

The difference is that SF never and Seattle rarely actually cheat up a safety to help in their run defense. They rely on their front 7 to get the job done and most of the time it is good enough. Seattle's run stats are a little skewed by a few bad games in the middle of the season. If you look at their last 5 or so games you will see they have made an adjustment and have been stifling.

How do they sneak their front 7 on the field when the other team has the ball???

If you can go 11-5 by beating nothing but shit teams, then it's absolutely relevant. Don't know why you consider it "bitching" when the entire point was that counting out the Patriots and Broncos like it's the AFC of the 90s is just silly.

It's a combination of them always being so good, the obnoxiousness of Boston fans, and being pure evil.
I could never avoid watching them though, they're the perfect "love to hate" team

Brady yelling at the ref because he thought it was a late hit followed by the ref throwing it 10 seconds after the play was over was a classic. They had a god damn serial killer on their team. They're like cartoon characters they're so unlikable. They're the Cobra Kai of the NFL.

I think the Patriots were a lot more impressive this weekend than the Broncos. The Pats will win.
I also think the 49ers are playing better than Seattle and more specifically Kaeperbro is having a better second half of the season than Wilson. The two teams hate each other though so I hope Seattle comes in charged up and wins. Should be close regardless. The Seattle offense needs to get it together.

20% of the Pats are injured. The sheer fact that they are one game from the Super Bowl should make every team in the league worried. This is a team that had the worst possible year in regards to Roster hits, and they have a shot at the big show. Amazes me how much the blind Pats hate is.

Most of those extremely hard to replace players, and yet this team managed to make it to the divisional championship. Any team that can manage this far after so much roster damage is a damn fine coached team. Blount? Thompkins? Who are these guys? No one knew their names before.
