Should be a great game; like last year vs. the smartest QB in the league over the past decade +, Seattle's up against the smartest coach in the league over an even longer time frame, this year.
Will be interesting to see what Belichek has for the fantastic Seattle defense, and how that defense makes adjustments. Like most games, if the defense can get to Brady and force Brady into quicker decisions, the athletic and hard hitting LB's and secondary will get their chance at making big plays.
If Brady has a decent day, like Rodgers last week, it will be up to Wilson to step up his play and get rolling early to match. Lynch will do what he does, but Wilson needs to move the ball early and get into the game with his feet as opposed to waiting too long. The Pats aren't going to let the foot off the gas as GB did, and Wilson, like last year, has had the defense hold the team in games long enough to have him get going.
Seattle's very good at making halftime adjustments ever since Carroll has gotten there; going against Belichek, you'd expect both to do so, but Seattle has to keep it close even if struggling at halftime.
Anyways, always fun to see the best two teams in the league square off. Go 'Hawks.
