Helps that both QBs are light years worse than the Packers, too

 

They are super aggressive because neither team thinks the quarterback can make the right decisions consistently....so far thats absolutely correct.  Huge passing plays left on the field

The speed and tackling especially by the secondarys is shocking compared to ours.

I haven't been less excited for a Super Bowl than this one, including the last time they met in a Super Bowl, and these teams are showing me why.

There has been a few other snoozers but this one is right up the so far.

It is nice watching competent special teams play. I had forgotten what that looked like.

Ours was similar early in the season before Wyatt and Parsons blew out knees and Gary became a pumpkin.  They are playing downhill because they arent threatened over the top because of the pass rush and iffy pass protection

Campbell is a tomato can at LT

I think there is a little more to it than just that.

Better schemes and fewer black holes

Pats need to line up and run the ball - their passing game is overmatched upfront

Health for both of those defenses is the key.  Schemes can be aggressive when they also don't respect the opposing quarterback, too.

 

These units are the reason they are in the super bowl....at the start of the year, GB's defense was right there, too.

[Jimbo]

The two terminuses of Interstate 90 battling it out in The Big Game.

Patriots DB play impresses me.

Now, waiting for social media to blow up.

Easy for a secondary to look fast making tackles when the quarterback doesnt get the ball to receivers running flat out uncovered.

The oline is getting handled, but Maye is deer in headlights bad tonight

Both QBs have been kind of sucky. Mayes just sucked more.

[yourout]

Has a field goal kicker ever gotten the most valuable player in a super bowl?

[HarryDoyle]

The government should replace waterboarding with watching this game to interrogate terrorists.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Awful game but if this were the Packers in this exact scenario, you'd still feel like a loss was the most likely outcome. 

[HarryDoyle]

 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Despite being a dog of a game, it is quite satisfying watching the Pats get embarrassed...kind of saw it coming 10 miles away after beating a horrible Stroud and backup qb to reach the super bowl out of a conference loaded with really good quarterbacks.

 

They never belonged and Seattle showed why

Oh yeah there would be at least one special team's disaster to turn the tide.

5/5 on field goals and a punter that has pinned them over and over again. 

[HarveysWBs]

I know every fan base can do this, but I’d much rather have JSN and Gonzalez than LVN and Jordan Morgan.

[CheeseheadInQC]

This was the Super Bowl this NFL season deserved. I literally spent a drive and a half reading MLBTradeRumors’ retrospective on the Harold Baines-Sammy Sosa deal.

Gonzales and JSN were both in the 2023 draft.

Don't disagree about having either instead of LVN.  But JSN had 4 catches for 24 yards; their D-Line won the Super Bowl for them.

And people would still find a way to complain about Gonzales not having an INT in 2025.  They think Gary, who's had 46.5 sacks in 7 seasons, is a bust.

Must be nice having special teams play a significant part in a big win instead of a big loss.
