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.

Bob Kraft has the refs ... so this is pointless.

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.

Not too shabby of a guess, I'll take it! :grin:

The Tinfoil Hat Crowd is better than the Know-it-All Eeyores!

The refs were in the bag for the Rams and their new stadium, until they weren't.

But no matter the outcome, there's always a conspiracy...until the Cowboys win another SB, of course.

LMAO

McVay was a fraud and Goff can't read defenses or audible once the helmet radio cuts out at 00:15 on the play clock and the coaches can't spoon feed him. They punted every 4th down and ran on 3rd and long when trailing the Patriots in the Super Bowl are you kidding me?

At one point Romo was begging McVay to make adjsutments that mostly never came.

So you believe everything they tell you, right? To believe in a black and white world, to have everything explained, to take the easy way out—that is your right. Of course, speculating on the contradictions is fun, too! What’s that like, knowing everything, yet swallowing everything they say?

What team do YOU like?
