Aaron Donald Here is something to seriously consider about Donald. His ceiling as a player is literally, “greatest defensive player of all time.” That might seem like an absurd praise, but it really isn’t. If you prefer your praise tempered, “greatest defensive lineman of all time” is still very much on the table. Bill Belichick’s read on Donald? “He’s basically unblockable.”

Tom Brady, like any quarterback, is susceptible to pressure, but Brady is often able to handle edge rushers because he’s so adept at stepping up in the pocket. Pressure that comes up the gut, like the type that Donald applies, is much tougher for Brady due to his subpar lateral movement. According to Pro Football Focus, Donald has 67 hurries this year, tops among all defenders. That stat is arguably more important than sacks, as a hurry almost always results in a win for the defense. If Donald rules the day inside, things will be difficult for the Pats.

Sean McVay can match wits The assumption, more or less always correct, is that Bill Belichick provides the Patriots with a pronounced coaching advantage regardless of their opponent. Sean McVay stands as one of the few coaches in the league who figures to be able to match wits with Belichick. The Rams’ offensive strategies are motion-based, misdirection-heavy and great at generating favorable matchups. L.A. isn’t all about the explosive pass, either. Todd Gurley is great, and the sudden, stunning emergence of C.J. Anderson gives the Rams a true dual-threat running attack. McVay is detail-oriented enough to have a coach specifically dedicated to moving him out of the way when he’s about to collide with a referee, so one imagines that he’ll have a pretty good game plan cooked up for this one.

The game is indoors, on a fast track Top to bottom, the Rams are the faster, more talented team. That’s just a fact. Gurley, Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and the rest of Los Angeles’ skill players are more explosive than what New England brings to the table. New England was routed in its only dome game of the year, Week 2 against Detroit. The Lions, if you are unaware, aren’t good. The impact of the Rams’ misdirection and motion should be exacerbated by the perfect conditions and footing. The Patriots probably wish this game was being played outside, in sloppy conditions, as it would benefit them.

The defense outside of Donald has some playmakers Marcus Peters, Ndamukong Suh and Dante Fowler are all big-time, pedigreed talents. Donald rightfully gets most of the press, as well as an overwhelming amount of attention from opposing offenses, but if the rest of the Rams’ front generates pressure, it can make life miserable from all angles. Los Angeles’ defense is mediocre in terms of yards and points surrendered but is good at taking the ball away. That’s easier said than done when Brady is on the other side, but lest anyone forget, New Orleans got the ball first in overtime in the NFC championship game, but the Rams’ John Johnson picked off Drew Brees to give L.A. the ball. Whose pressure caused the bad throw? Fowler.

I hate peoples bringing this up.
The pats division being trash means literal **** come playoff time. Last I checked they weren’t playing the bills, jets and dolphins to make it to the Super Bowl every year.


When they get to the postseason, they win.
That’s what helps.

It’s the complete opposite of us.

Can we create a Tinfoil Hat Zone and make sure certain guys can only post there? Every thread it's the same nonsense.

We get it...you think the league is fixed...when you don't like the outcome. :rolleyes:

That doesn't change the fact that it does help them get to the playoffs in the first place.

The rams are about to be outcoached. There players have to win this game. Don’t think brady won’t be getting that ball out quick. They will run off tackle and outside all night. Something we should have done.

Now that Dallas has Kellen Moore big things will happen in 2019!

Pats will win, they have lots of experience in the big game. I think it might be too big for Goff tonight and Brady gets the ball out fast to negate Donald. We shall see but I expect a close game yet the Rams will never really be a threat or as close as it might seem score-wise.

I guess you read the other article. I prefer the Rams and I don't want the Patriots to get #6 super bowl.


Let’s take a look at why the Patriots will win Super Bowl LIII.



They have Tom Brady, and the Rams don’t

Thousands of words could be written about Brady and Bill Belichick, but we’ll focus on the quarterback here and try to keep things brief. At various points this season, pundits have questioned whether or not Brady was finally experiencing some sort of tangible decline. Those questions weren’t entirely unfounded, either. As great as Brady was at home, he and the Pats were a mediocre 3-5 on the road, and he didn’t look like himself. There were missed throws, sloppy throws, anemic-looking throws — he even lost to the Steelers, something that hardly ever happens. The playoffs rolled around, though, and Brady turned it on. He was masterful against the Chargers and delivered a fourth quarter for the ages against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City.

I don’t disagree.

But that just gets you into the playoffs. They still have to win two games to get to the super bowl.

Granted, they are mostly in subzero temperature, at home, with the refs.

But still is tough

This is how I feel as well. Giving a very experienced Belichick and company 2 weeks to prepare for a young QB in a HUGE game. Yeah, I'm taking the Pats, as much as I hate to say that.

Though, I will admit I said pretty much the same thing about the Eagles last year.

Pats will win this game because Belichick has had two weeks to prepare and Brady is the goat. The Patriots are a better team this year than last year. The Rams biggest weakness that the Cowboys couldnt exploit is the can be run on. But its not as simple as running into Suh and Donald like the Cowboys would try. The Pats have multiple RBs that can block and catch. I can see this being a huge game for James White and Sony Michel. And if that doesnt work you will see more Edelman and Gronk. And the forgotten man Chris Hogan. The pats are great at adjusting. Goff is the X factor in this game and he must have a great game for the Rams to even have a chance.
Brady > Goff
Belichick > McVay & Phillips

The other factor people arent thinking about is if the Rams win this SB they will have an asterisk next to it because of the Saints game. The Pats must win to quiet everything about that blown call.
