Pats vs. Rams Superbowl pre-game analysis

[Drake&BarmoreFTW]

When's the last time that two number 2 seeds played each other in the Super Bowl?

1971 season, where Dallas defeated Miami in the Super Bowl. Seeding didn’t actually matter then; home games were rotated annually based on division. That was the only time it ever happened until now (no seeding concept at all prior to the 1970 merger).

It still kills me that the Pats had Talib for two playoff runs and he got hurt in both AFCCGs and yet here he is playing for the Rams, healthy, in the SB against the Pats. Ugh.

He'll probably cheapshot Edelman out of the game like he did with Welker.

iirc Talib was the one who took a cheapshot from Welker in that AFC Championship game. Bill was pretty pissed about it after the game.

It was Welker who cheapshotted Talib.

It was Tree Rollins who bit Danny Ainge.

I just keep thinking, can we please have a Pats blowout for once. It's always a close game and I almost can't take the stress. Please, just Goff throw a pick six, a fluke fumble returned for a TD, a long bomb by Brady for a touchdown, game over early in the 2nd half and we just sit around drinking and enjoying it on the board.

I just wanna tie sh*tsburg for 6, really should pass em at some point imo being as tho we always have their number.

Interesting tidbit...Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein does not plan to kick until Friday. Has not kicked a football since the NFCCG. His effectiveness on Sunday is something to watch for...

Interior pressure and Brady:

The question is: how often has Brady been under pressure from the interior this season. How about this post-season?

From their recent posts, it looks like the Rams are poor at what the Pats do well. Pats favor.

Yes but I sure do love reading texts from friends when they think the games over only to have brady bring us back.
