Pre Super Bowl Thread- On to the Rams

[fnordcircle]

There were a ton in the game thread that should be joining you then. I didn’t even notice yours (and others I’m sure) there was so much of it going on.

Yeah honestly I don't remember anything from @KontradictioN that sounded crow-worthy. I guess I missed a primo meltdown.

Whatever, we're all winners. All the complaining about he regular season doesn't matter. All the stuff about winning on the road doesn't matter.

The miami loss, the Detroit loss, none of that stuff matters. It's great. 1 more game.

I think we were 0 for on 1st and 2nd downs that last drive. Every chain mover was a 3rd down. Felt like there was about ten of them. Definition of clutch. There needs to be another word for what Brady achieves in those moments.

Believe this is not meant as a slight against Brady but the OL (players + Scar), the route design (McDaniels) and the receivers (Jules and Gronk) making the tough catch all were on their game.

With the rest of the team working like a machine there is no one who will stop Brady.

Honorary Patriots Captain: Ricky Proehl

As long as he promises to say something about the Rams being a dynasty or something.

 

[sambam94]

how many times do you say.."this is the play of the game"?...about 30 lol

 

[Observer]

I know, how he blew it and missed the SB in fully one half the seasons he's been in the league is beyond me. I mean, 2008, sure. But what's his ****ing excuse all those other years?

Crap teams... that’s on Belichick.

 

[Triumph]

The Lambs are toast.

 

[TomPatriot]

94 offensive plays.

Wow

Shades of SB 51 - 93 plays. Chiefs D was gassed just like the Falcons.

 

[edkk323]

Finally you're on the bandwagon. Geez.

OH MY FKING GOD. I literally had to walk away for a minute to calm myself down during the 4th. I thought I had 2 or 3 mini heart attacks.

 

[mosey threetupu]

Listen I get as passionate and angry as anyone. And I’m normally not this guy. But the crying about Edelman, and burkhead in the GDT was pathetic....I’m not talking about being mad at them. “Edelman sucks , he’s terrible, he needs to retire”..... these guys have earned some damn respect for what they’ve done and they then promptly shutup all the haters (patriots fans???) when it mattered most. 3 straight got to have it TD drives.

Also my I hope the posted process who said don’t give it to a white back was trolling. If not you’re an idiot.

Also Brady is a football God, cemented again tonight.

I feel real good about this Rams matchup and Goff.

And the crying about the defense. Literally like 25% of the GDT was conceding KC scores amy time NE gave them the ball back. They should all be embarrassed.

 

[JMC00]

Hill & Kelce 4 for 8 65 yards

 

[fnordcircle]

But you might get it esp. if they stop the run. Its easier matchup from personnel, scheme pov and should basically be a home field..

There certainly is a chance of LA script we've seen.. (and saw in 1st half here with Goff not being Mahomes and Cooks not Hill)

Man after last year's SB I just won't ever even hope for a cakewalk Super Bowl.

 

[long distance]

The storylines going into SBLIII will be amazing.

One minor that will not be talked about:

2017 - Pats move on from Long, Blount and they meet them in SB
2018 - Pats move on from Cooks...

Nope. I **** on the non-believers in the thread. I’m eating crow for everything I said in the lead up and all the crap I have people here.

The Lambs are toast.

THE IGGLES HAVE NO SHOT

 

[Sicilian]

Unbelievable! Any discussion of course is going to start (and should) with Brady and his clutch play. But I want to give a shoutout to the defense for their first half performance, which let us go into the second with a lead. You knew KC was going to adjust, they're too good not to, but the dominance of the D for those first 30 minutes set a serious tone (on top of, of course, the long drive to open the game). Kyle Van Noy was all over the place today.

I don't have any other words for anything else tonight. This team is indescribable.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The league can’t allow the Rams to win, can they?

Al Riveron already apologized to Sean Payton for screwing up...

 

[Angelpats]

People will forget all about that Rams call and talk about the calls that went the Patriots way while annoying the calls and non-calls that went KC's way.

Both teams caught breaks and received breaks.

It’s frustrating seeing Gronk being held and pushed on almost all his routes. These postgame commentators were talking about the neutral zone int but forget a fumble recovery negated by a holding and Jones should have caught an int.

 

[Dr Pain]

I wonder how much Apple pays Belichick to destroy the surface tablets

 

[Tony2046]

Prefer braised but I’ll take it however. I’ve served it up enough. Time to eat it.

Stop. You were being realistic based on what you saw on the field. And you it's not like you were completely wrong. KC scored 31 points in the second half. Thank God Brady n crew had a little magic left in them. 3rd and 9, 3rd and 10, 3rd and 500 blah blah.... unbelievable.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

This is the one. This is the one where we blow out the other team. Maybe not blow out but win comfortably

Brother, I wouldn't bet a dollar on that. While anything can happen, the history is clear; this will be a nail biter. Embrace the, upcoming, drama!
