Official Super Bowl Game Thread..Pats vs Eagles

[TheBostonStraggler]

I'm not worried about the fans ratio. Score a few points and most of it is mute. That's the benefit of playing big games over the years.

And the BFD, home field noise advantage, isn’t here. Fans may be booing the patriots but I can’t imagine they’ll be yelling at the top of their lungs during the game.
Clean snap counts is all that matters...

I hope josh isn’t too stubborn with establishing the run. We’re honestly great when we abandon it in big games. Sometimes it’s what’s needed. Last year I felt we were stuck in way too many 2nd and 3rd and longs after running for a yard or two on first.
Would rather we attack like the 2014 ravens or hawks games once we abandoned the run

Yup.

We try to establish the run/run too many gimmicky plays then we're down 2-3 scores and then we finally decide to start just throwing it and the comeback begins.

Let's just make it comfortable tonight

And a year later here we are again. This is gonna be fun. Find it hard to believe their biggest margin of victory of all superbowls was the one they were down 28-3. Hoping for a fast start and a blowout in this one. By the good guys of course.

The RJF "story" deserves a little more attention. This guy was essentially out of the league running his Dunkin' Donuts locations. Then he winds up on the Pats and is playing in the Super Bowl. I agree, he has been playing well and is the "hot hand". Would love to see RJF and Adam Butler get involved.

Although he's not active for this game, Bernard Reedy's "day job" (since he was signed as a UDFA out of Toledo by the Falcons back in 2014) has been driving people who are confined to wheelchairs to and from doctors/therapy/rehab in St. Pete for $11/hour.

He'd have to work over 1,000 hours at that job (about six months at 40 hours/week) to earn as much as the winner's share from being on the Superbowl roster today.

No Alan Branch tonight? I guess he isn't healthy enough

He was last seen creating his own line at panda express.

It’s like they KNOW that once they need to have success they have to put Brady in the gun, go up tempo, and tear the defense apart. Makes you wonder why they don’t start with that lol

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Ok an hour and a half, getting there!!



Kick their asses!!!!!!

 

[Mike the Brit]

Take care, brothers and sisters. Go Pats!

 

[TBR]

That’s the way the Giants put up 24 and 29 with a below average offense.

Eli threw it 50+ times vs Philly this year?

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

5pm, almost there...

So now it's like 11:20am on a typical Sunday

One of our great posters (forget who?) often referred to him as "Uncle Phil"

I'd rather have the pass establish the run tonight too. But I know we should still be getting Lewis involved.

But who was uncle phil?

 

[luuked]

Going to be a 50-60 throw game for Brady

Lets hope not.. anything above 50 means that we will lose most likely.

He's not playing well enough, the other guys are playing better. Too bad because he's a beast when he wants to be.

Character from the sitcom "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' played by James Avery (RIP)

A buddy of mine flew to Minny without tickets, somehow scored two from the York family (there's a story), and just posted a selfie with Hines Ward.

Mother****** leads a charmed life.

Alan Branch isn’t injured, he’s out of shape and checked out.

 

[Gronkowski123]

get off the field on third down!!! im not sure how mobile foles is..i think bortles is the better athlete!!!

weird that branch isnt active, we could use his big body against kelce...

What? Don't you pay attention, most QB's lose but not the goat, if he throws it fifty times we win tonight.
