I host a podcast called Football 301 that’s been described as “…entertaining with a slightly degenerate charm…”

Who watches the film watchers?

It's always a good day for an elbow drop.

Is Butterbean OK?
it is, quite literally, the same exact offense. But with 3 tiers difference in OL coaching.
His strength this year has been feeling pressure, scrambling and improvising during play. His pre-snap reads have been a mess the whole season and McDaniels' complex offense from the Brady days was very simplified for him.

long time doubter over here. That Alabama OL was putrid and the Saints OL got immediately better after he left. I'll give him some pass for when he was a HC but those Jags OLs weren't the strength of the team or anything, either.

his gameplans come across as lazy imo
Bills fan chiming in to say that the league has been gaslit into thinking Marrone is a good coach.
February 9, 2026 at 5:00 PM
good god that's @fourverts.bsky.social's music!
(McDaniels has always been overrated and carried by great defenses and Tom Brady, that's why he failed with Denver, Vegas, and Offensive Coordinator with the Rams)
February 9, 2026 at 4:36 PM
I think the Patriots offensive coaches, particularly McDaniels and Marrone, should be embarrassed by that gameplan.
Do you put that more on the coaches for having them ill prepared or the players for not executing the necessary adjustments?

this was Drake Maye's best throw of the night and you can see what the passing window looks like to even complete this. 4 Seahawks defenders all hyperaware of what the Patriots are running and all around the receiver.

social media has turned people from wanting to be the guy dunking and scoring buckets to wanting to be Spike Lee yelling at everyone from the sideline.
February 9, 2026 at 4:11 PM
first indicator that it was going to be a long night for the Pats O was when the protection was DOA on the first couple of 3rd downs just by the design of the Seahawks blitzes.

this is lame behavior btw
@natetice.bsky.social @qbklass.bsky.social no Drake Maye apologies. He’s played terribly. The o-line did no favors but the ball coming off his hand, missing checkdowns etc. this has been all playoffs

Occam's blowout.
February 9, 2026 at 2:27 AM
I think the most disappointing thing has been the flow of the play calls. Very predictable run-pass splits. 2nd downs especially.
Is it just me or is MCDANIELS calling a bad game? No screens to backs, no play action on 1st down, not moving the pocket, no trick plays, no qb runs
February 9, 2026 at 2:27 AM
thought that was a go for it type situation on 4th & 1 for the Patriots there, even with it being a long 1.

thought they were in the gun and ran a downfield passing play on 3rd & 1 BECAUSE they were going for it.

Missed Tackles
Patriots: 8
Seahawks: 5

Missed Tackles Yards Allowed
Patriots: 80
Seahawks: 27

(per NextGenStats)
February 9, 2026 at 1:53 AM
it's early, but the Seahawks defense is blitzing at a season-high rate on 3rd & 3+ (i.e. non-short yardage) snaps so far, per NextGenStats.
February 9, 2026 at 1:03 AM
very good! I’m sad I didn’t get to give him a shoutout on the preview show.
How good has Craig Woodson been?
February 9, 2026 at 12:14 AM
told ya
Seahawks already with the ghost action (fake end around) several times this game. End around or screen off the same action coming soon.

Seahawks defense throwing heat on the first two 3rd downs of the game. Mike Macdonald already subverting his own tendency.
February 9, 2026 at 12:10 AM
could see a double move or play action shot for the Seahawks offense next drive with how aggressive the Patriots DBs are playing.
February 9, 2026 at 12:05 AM
if there are run concepts that the Seahawks defense are “weaker” against, it’s Duo runs and Draws (still about league average lol). Patriots already peppering some Duo early.

A reminder that Football 301 will be LIVE right after the Super Bowl!

@mattharmon.bsky.social and @fourverts.bsky.social join me for a 3 man weave to recap Patriots-Seahawks.

See you later! Enjoy the game!

Talked to Jayden Daniels this week, including what type of player he might want to add to the Commanders offense this offseason.

Let’s just say he’s keeping an eye on a certain former Arizona State teammate that lives on the west coast.
February 8, 2026 at 8:42 PM
one of my highlights of SB week was chatting with Josh Allen.

Josh talked about his mental growth as a QB, the toughest defenses to go against, and, most importantly, we got into some board game talk. Specifically how Josh won a game of Catan without building a road!

still plenty of time to check out my deep dive Super Bowl preview disguised as a props article!
