RoadLizard 73 Posted January 20, 2015 How the heck can you possibly root for either team? It's too bad it's not a real war where hopefully they'd destroy each other in the process. LOL! Yawn. What a boring Super Bowl this will be. Other than Chowdheads or Seabag fans, does anyone really give a crap? Probably not. The fun part of any will be being happy when one of the teams does something good only to pull back once you realize you just rooted for such an awful team.

IGotWorms 3,325 Posted January 20, 2015 Let's see, the upstart would-be "dynasty" trying to get its second straight super bowl title by beating the former dynasty that never really went away? Both of these teams, by the way, pulling off an epic come-from-behind victory on the road to the title game? Yeah sounds pretty lame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drobeski 3,061 Posted January 20, 2015 Best two teams, led by brilliant yet humble qb's, best coach in the history of the game vs the guy who's created the NFC's dominant force. Great game, best any real fans could ask for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drobeski 3,061 Posted January 20, 2015 Wilson: 14 yards in the first half. At CenturyLink. Green Bay's defense is noticeably better than NE's. colts got how many ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 460 Posted January 20, 2015 colts got how many ?Why did you ask the question instead of answering it? Plenty of articles available on the smoke and mirrors which is the Colts, and the turnover machine which is Luck. Tell you what, though.

I'm just saying that we all know who the best team in the NFL is I suppose you "dominated" the Cowboys too, since you had 100 more yards of offense? Time of Possession and yards don't determine games. You won a home game by 5 points. Full stop. It's a tip that if the other team has a chance to take the lead with 3 minutes left, you didn't dominate sh!t. You settled for 4 field goals on red zone trips that game - 12 net yards on 13 plays. Maybe if your team had learned something from that instead of patting themselves on the back for "dominating" they'd be playing in the SuperBowl instead of working on their golf games.

I think it's easier to shut down Indy in Foxboro than it is to shut down SEA @ CenturyLink. My prerogative, of course. But we'll see. I'm a fan of Russell Wilson, and I don't think he's likely to do what Luck does in big games. I'll stick with my prediction: SEA 30 - NE 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't blame you seeing it that way, and I suppose we could argue whether the difference was as a result of a significant coaching shift - which is really the only point I've been making throughout these conversations. Obviously Green Bay is capable of completely shutting down SEA's offense; they did for 3 quarters of the game. Green Bay doesn't have coaches who step on jugulars. I wish they did.

Along the same lines, Seattle did a great job on the GB offense. Gifted with amazing field position multiple times, they only put up 22 points, conservative play calling or not, that is pretty impressive on the defense's part.

Djgb13 2,338 Posted January 21, 2015 I think NE will kill Seattle with the short passes, something Brady is great at. I read where the stats for NE with short pass completion is ranked 2nd in the nfl with Seattle ranked 27th in nfl for defending against the short pass. I think BB will find a way to stop Lynch leaving it up to seattles receiving core to do the most damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think BB will find a way to stop Lynch leaving it up to seattles receiving core to do the most damage. I'm a little worried about this. But, Denver with all those weapons did a lot of short passes in the SB last year. That didn't work out so well. Maybe Brady is better, but if the playoff's have showed us anything then this should be the first thing we try and stop. NE has been doing it all throughout the playoffs. (Little short quick dumpoff's) Depends how we defend, but we should be playing it very tight since Brady's deep ball is not always the best and they usually don't even try to go deep. I don't think NE has played a Def lately that will get up in your face like we do though. Balt sat back and let NE throw it underneith all day long and it killed them. I don't see us letting that happen without smashing them first for little running after the fact. But, I hope we creep up on that stuff! If not, that will be a failure for our coaching staff. It's clear what NE does and needs to do. Gronk over the middle is the other key to stop of course. There will NOT be any killing of us though. That doesn't happen on this Def. Shoud be a good close game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got rattled right after that and it was downhill. This gagne will def be no blowout but I expect a lot of passing from both sides NE is coached better. Brady doesn't panic as much as Manning. But, I doubt one safety caused a complete meltdown for Denver. They were the most prolific offense the NFL has ever seen to date. That being said, we have lost some pieces. We are weaker up the middle and Clemmons has been a huge loss for us for edge rushing and to take pressure off Avril. Also, Z. Miller is a big loss. Regardless, we will come to play just like NE will. Should have a solid game plan I think, like NE will. Wilson won't be giving it away and it won't be in the rain. Should have lots of fans there being so close to us. I expect a good game. Maybe even OT or last drive for the win kind of thing. Enjoy! Go Hawks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
