Probability and statistical looking at 1 single event a 1 player on the team regardless of "Beast" Mode. I ask would the line block the defense? However, given the fact that his atg yards per carry 4.7. 50-50

Before my comment, let me say that I'm a Patriots' fan but I'm not going to bring bias into this.
There's a good 90% chance he would have scored if handed the ball, but I dare someone to say he "would have" scored. In the words of Skip Bayless, "I'll give you probably, but I won't give you definitely."
Lynch was successful once out of five attempts from the 1-yard line during the 2014 season, and he had been stopped on 3rd-and-1 previously in the game. It's not like it would have been impossible, but I will give Marshawn Lynch credit because he's perhaps the hardest back to bring down. He deserves to be called the best when it comes to the power-back category.
On a side note, Lynch was fairly open on the left side of the field following the snap. Akeem Ayers was shading him but Lynch would have been able to make a catch on a fade during that last play on the 1. Luke Willson was drawing coverage away from him, as well.

Those Dolphins are going to be tougher than ever for the Pats to overcome. I think they split like last year. Phins are hard to beat at Sun Life.
Addition of Suh brings a dynamic to that D-line that's seen on few other teams besides the Bills.
