Patriots Pregame Thread SUPER BOWL PREGAME THREAD - Patriots vs Seahawks 2026 SB - The Rematch

[ahmed]

All during SB week and the game Philly fans chanted TO.

Owens had 1200 yards and 14 TDs back then which was Beast mode. The Pat's shut him down. Cancelled

You cannot be serious? He had 122 yards on a bum ankle while his QB was throwing up all over the field from the pressure.

What part of that was shutting down Owens?

*ROFLMAO* Of course you're deluded enough to belief your point was proven. You only care about information that doesn't debunk you. Like the fact that the guy was involved with under-age girls in Puerto Rico and the guy in his entourage took the fall. Just like with Ray Lewis.

What he generated on a tour doesn't mean jack s**t. Seriously. Not when ticket prices are averaging over $200 a seat. I can point to other artists who had crap music and still generated hundreds of millions in gross revenue.

People like YOU are moronic hypocrites. You rant about one artist's lyrics and are oblivious to the lyrics by the artist you're protecting. Newsflash, There are plenty of RAP songs that are sexually explicit and take about sex with minors as well. Bad Bunny's been taken to task for HIS sexually explicit lyrics. But, yet. You harp on Kid Rock and make stupid claims that you can't support. You should have just stuck to football.

Nowhere did I support, claim fandom, promote or defend Bsd Bunny. I have never heard a full song he has recorded. But your points were disproven so you went off on some unrelated tangential rant, which may or may have merit and has nothing to do with Kid Rock’s die hard supporters looking the other way when it comes to his song’s lyrics. That’s creepy AF no matter the artist, it should be pretty easy to move on from someone who has expressed those thoughts but I guess not.

The point that I made was the NFL made a calculated decision to book Bad Bunny due to his global popularity and their desire to grow the brand. You not buying into global streams, tour dollars and ticket sale numbers as showing poularity is just a bizarre take. But that’s your truth and you’re not budging so cling to it, it just goes counter to reality.

That's not the reason why mostly middle aged men clamor for classic rock for the SB show. They want that because that’s where their comfort zone is, most anything else outside of the genre makes them squirm. This same argument was made when Prince performed and when Bruno Mars performed and when Kendrick Lamar performed and on and on and on. Interestingly enough, none of these “unwanted” artists brought down viewership numbers.

As far as Bad Bunny, he’s been relevant for 10 years already. He was the most streamed artist globally from 2020-2022 and then again in 2025. His audience is huge and odds are his career will be just fine over the next decade plus.

I think you underestimate his global appeal and how he’ll draw viewers and for a league that’s pushing to grow the international audience, he’s exactly what the NFL wants.

But don’t worry, you can tune into the geriatric Kid Rock TP halftime show to listen to his lyrics on underage girls. Seems to be a theme his friends and fans like.

I'll be taking a hellacious Dump when that twat comes out.
IDGAS what he's done, and I'm sick of assholes telling me how great he is.

Maybe he's thinking half those yards came on an illegal pick play?

Chao says he could play but will not be the same player.

Terrell Owens Super Bowl Stats | StatMuse

Terrell Owens had 9 catches for 122 yards in 1 game in Super Bowls in his career.

Owens was the only reason Philly was even in that game. The alternative facts never stop with you.

51 yards of Owens production came in the 4th quarter where the Pats played prevent defense not giving up the big play.

But that doesnt register with clown shoes posters. Well done.

Yeah Brady is looking worse as time goes on now. Hard to believe this would happen but he is really showing himself to be petty and self absorbed. To not even reach out is somewhat stunning.

HE OWNS PART OF ANOTHER TEAM, why would he reach out to help the opposition? That doesn't make any sense

51 yards came in the 4th where the goal is to keep everything in front of the defense.

Owens led the Eagles 2004 pass offense with 14 TDs. The next most productive was Westbrook with 6 pass TDs.

Owens was held scorel;ess.

Not sure why people need to try to push their thoughts of him on you but I suspect his name won’t fade from public conversations as soon as the game is over. Maybe stock up on toilet paper?

Could Joshua Farmer be a sneaky good addition in this game?

Playing Devil's Advocate, Edelman got almost 41% of his yards (45 of 109) and a TD when Pats were also down 10 to the Seahawks in 2014 and White got 35 of his 118 (29%) receiving yards when they were down 28-9 in the 4th .

If Owens were healthy, he would've obliterated that secondary. 2004 Eagles were the 2nd best team the Pats faced in the Super Bowl to the 2001 Rams. Their next opponent is a distant 3rd.

Blocked WJH, DB, and Triumph on this thread and it was like going from Cracked Magazine to War and Peace. It's bizarre seeing old white guys this angry about a 15 min concert in a pre-game thread.

 

[The Brandon Five]

A shot will only last a half, and who knows how effective he'll be if it's anything serious.

Outside of Smith-Njigba, there's no other player on that team Seattle can afford to lose.

You mean not afford to lose?

Sorry, PC, but Spotify's "ratings'" are easily manipulated. As are all "online rating" system. Claiming his audience is huge based on that is ridiculous. Just like it was ridiculous when the same sort of crap was said about Taylor Swift, Beyonce' and numerous other "artists".

It doesn't change the fact that I'd never heard of him prior to the announcement. Since then, the bit of research I've done puts him squarely in the "Garbage artist not worth listening to" category. If people can't be bothered to do their own research and see that the guy is a POS in the same category as Ray Lewis, that's on them.

Sorry, but it's pure BS to think that the guy is going to draw anyone to the game. He's not. Especially not when he craps all over the US in general.

As for me, if I'm looking for someone with their pulse on the current pop music scene my go-to is my fellow old guys on Patsfans.com who think rock reached perfection in 1974.

Exactly. A 2 second google search showed his last North American tour grossed over $200m. Obviously some people enjoy his music and attend his shows. The NFL doesn’t care about guys like me over 40. They already got me. It’s the younger crowd they are going for.

Yeah, halftime show isn't for fans or the poor spouses of fans who are forced to watch their loved one have a near cardiac event by the end of the first drive.
