Sam Darnold

But then again, I mean, this Seattle team can –

They are as impressive offensively as just about anybody.

I think because they were playing the Rams and the Rams on paper with Nakua and Stafford and Devontae Adams and Kyron Williams, they feel like they're a better offensive team.

Seattle's just as good.

The way that Kenneth Walker was running, the season that Jackson Smith and Jigba has had, Sam playing at an MVP level.

Clint Kubiak working magic.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up putting up 30 on the Patriots.

I'm not predicting it, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were the team that did it.

Well, it's going to take a lot because that Patriot defense is great.

But, you know, I would also say that if you think about the Patriots and they were talking about strength of schedule and, you know, I was talking about they have to validate it.

Well, they have validated the fact that, yeah, the strength of schedule probably built confidence for them.

Sure.

And they caught these teams in the playoffs.

When you think about it, Justin Herbert without his starting offensive tackles, C.J.

Stroud without his tight end or his wide receiver and one of their tackles.

And then, of course, yesterday with Jared Stidham.

So things have kind of lined up for the Patriots.

You've got to have some luck to get there.

And I think they've had their share of luck getting there.

But they have validated the fact that by going to the Super Bowl that they are a very well coached and they are a solid team.
