Per Schefter, roof will be closed tonight. No surprise. Only opening it for pregame activities (but not warmups).

there are a lot of Pats haters on the show.

This stat about the Chiefs seems wrong, or I’m missing something. They had plenty of wins where they scored 24+ points...?

Ah, right. I got it sideways.

They scored more than 24 points in all their losses. In every game in fact. I’ll fix.

I wonder how loud Pats fans can get with that roof closed?

From the first TC press conference back in July BB publicly transmitted uncharacteristic positive feel for this group and kept it throughout the season despite some downs.

It could be in part a reaction to the deluge of mediotic soap operas surrounding the team's offseason . but i felt he was genuinely happy with the locker room already at that early stage - with the quality of people and players he enjoys coaching. That to me was the foundation of belief in this team.

For all the doubts and dismissals they encountered before and since incl. social media fans and “experts“ - but moreover because of the great vibe this group is sharing, the unity, the focus, the maturity and joy of steady progression together.. - i wish them to win even more than the other great Pats teams. The Two McCourtys Are Better Than One theme that started the season hopefully finds its perfect ending tonight..

More importantly: no matter the outcome (and no matter who leaves) - this group is here to stay.

Good news. Bible predicts a big Brady win!

Laud help me I have to suffer through the commentary of Tony Romo.

Seemlying? I think you meant, seen lying.

At this point is usually when the nerves start and I start to go over in my head all the information I have researched about the game and think of what I could have missed that would cause me concern.

Honestly the only thing coming to mind is Gurley, but it wasn't like I didn't already know that. The Rams only path to victory is Gurley absolutely abusing our LBs as a pass catcher, a general under performance by Brady/Patriots or Just a number of very bad 1 on 1 plays by the CBs on their WRs.

Assuming there is no surprise sitting of a key player I still feel pretty confident. Hopefully Gost doesn't take any points off the board this time though. There is no excuse to miss anything 50 yards or under in a Dome.

Just hoping TB doesn't turn the ball over..past 4 Superbowls he's had a INT or a fumble.

Goodell Clown towel shows up on behind the BSPN broadcast!

Whenever I've said "I need a drink" it's always been a little tongue and cheek.. I think a doctor would advise a drink for me right now.

You left verse 8 off, which I’m not going to repeat
