    I feel better about the Pats chances of winning as the week moves along. C'mon now...it's Brady and Belichick against who? There's not one person on the other side of the ball that scares me. The two weeks off benefits the Pats getting Gronk back. It also gives them more time to prepare for the Eagles' gimmicky run/pass system. Pats O line has been playing well lately. They'll get the double team on Cox, run some 5 wide, no huddle. Dink and dunk, hit the Rbs, catch the Eagles front substituting, tire them out. Schwartz will make some questionable calls. Eagles are gonna get overaggresive, Pats will hit some big plays on screens. Go ahead lineup Jenkins on Gronk, and Brady will expose their secondary. Their secondary sucks. Look for Brady to connect with Cooks
    on a 60 yard TD in the 2nd/3rd quarter. 

    I heard that Peterson defers to his math guys in the booth for 4th down calls? That is laughable, especially in the game where you need to trust your intuition the most. The Eagles might score some points early but Pats will make the necessary adjustments. Coaching is going to be a big factor in this game. The Eagles are a solid team, but they're not ready for a team that is this well coached and in this big of a spot. They'll make it a game, but will find a way to vomit
    all over themselves. History repeats itself, Pats win 31-23 for championship number six.


    Love it. Be nice if the Pats are this overconfident.
    How do you think the game's gonna go?

    RIP Alex.  You've deserved so much better your entire career.  You were a leader and consummate teammate.

    First QB in NFL history to leas the league in QB rating and be traded the following season.

    I think this was a pretty good thing for him.  I am no fan of the Deadthings team in WDC but think this seems like a great contract for him and I think that Gruden got a lot out of Cousins and can do the same with Smith.  As a 49ers fan I wish him the best.  Great dude.

    I just feel like Washington is one of those teams where careers go to die.  He might do well, but the team will still suck ass. As a Niners fan myself, I still believe that if Harbaugh kept him as the starter in 2012 we'd be 6-0.

    Not sure we would have made the SB with him @ starter but I think we would have taken B-More out. 
    Fuck Harbaugh.  Both of them.

    I've got a hockey game on Sunday =) 

    And Saturday :angry:

    The schools here are basically making kids wear Patriots gear to class today, even my son's preschool. Failing that -- red, white and blue. 

    Since I'm raising my children right, they hate the Patriots and are doing no such thing. My daughter even asked me what the other team's colors are. :heart: Since she's sensitive to insults, though, and Masshole parents have Masshole children, I suggested that she wear her Papi jersey and that she should be fine with that.

    My son is playing hooky. He can't even deal.

    I love your kids

    My 3 yr old asked Alexa (again) who was going to win the Super Bowl and laughed at her response.  (She was coughing when sharing that the Patriots were favored before saying that she is flying with the Eagles.)

    Gotta love the Seahawk dislike for the Patriots. 
    Run the damn ball from the 1!

    The year the Steelers (I live near Pittsburgh) played the Packers (my favorite team) in the SB, my school had a black and gold day, where you could break certain dress code rules in the name of showing your Steelers spirit, one of those rules we could break was wearing a hat, so I wore my Packers hat and didn’t think anything of it. A teacher made me take it off because it wasn’t black and gold, and he wouldn’t take no for an answer, even though like 3 other teachers were saying to just let me wear it. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times in my life that I’ve been that furious.

    I don't know. I think due to Patriots-fatigue, the Steelers might have made a bigger rating than New England. And as for the NFC, I think if the NFL was able to choose, they'd want the Saints over the Eagles or Vikings.

    I mean really, a Browns/Lions Super Bowl would probably draw a higher rating than a Warriors/Cavs game 7. But as far as Super Bowls go, and using only the teams in this year's playoffs, I think Saints vs. Patriots/Steelers would produce the best rating
    2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea. Hear. Now. 2022: Camden, 2024: Philly 2, 2025: Pittsburgh 1

    I'm not sure there is a Patriots fatigue. They're kind of like the Yankees. Most either love them or hate them. So I think more people will tune in to root against them, than will root for the Steelers. Plus Boston is a much bigger market than Pittsburgh.


    And Eagles/Saints---no contest. Philadelphia is the 4th largest tv market, New Orleans is 50th...4 spots above Scranton Wilkes-Barre.
