Not a good day for the Patriots

The Patriots offensive line was overwhelmed by the Seahawks and Drake Maye simply could not deal with the constant pressure.

The line could not hold the pocket open for any length of time and the pressure on Maye caused his brain to shutdown. He got sacked 5 or 6 times, had trouble completing passes and, too be honest with you, he seemed to have trouble making decisions on the fly.

For instance there were at least three occasions when the pocket was collapsing but there was a hole directly in front of Maye that he could have run through and possibly gotten a first down. Unfortuantely he cose to slide to his right and ended up getting caught.

As for the Seahawks and Sam Darnold, they didn't fair much better during the first half, scoring no touchdowns but getting close enough to make three field goals.

In the end, the Seahawks won the Super Bowl 29-13 and took home the Lombardi trophy.

As I said to Pat, "Oh well. It was indeed a good season overall and it was certainly fun to watch."


As for the Red Sox, they may have filled their need for a third baseman.

They announced a trade today where they sent David Hamilton and two guys I don't know to the Brewers for Corban Durbin and two guys I don't know along with a draft pick.

Gotta be honest with you, I'm starting feel better about this season and I'm looking forward to watching them play.
