Poll - Want a Blowout or a Close Game?

[wizwor]

The Pats will have to be up something like 42-3 at halftime for everyone to relax. If Atlanta has one virtue, they can score.

That's not true. I can tell. Wife was wringing her hands at half time of the Houston game. I assured her the game was over -- no way the Pats could play two halfs like that.

Patriots in the BB era have never scored in the 1st quarter of a Super Bowl

Not this team.

i have never seen such a 1 sided poll on this site

and i added to the delta!

**** a close game, give me something i can spend half the game gloating about

 

[PatsFanInVa]

I'm sick and tired of these nailbiters... it would be nice to have a 90s style "die MF die" game.... but I think the Falcons will give us all we can handle.

I just want a W.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Not this team.

I think we scored in the 1st quarter against the Bears that one year.

That was a mistake.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

I'm not greedy, I want a Pats victory , period......

Patriots in the BB era have never scored in the 1st quarter of a Super Bowl

Opponents scoring by quarter
1st Q 15 ( 2 FG, 1 safety, 1 TD)
2nd Q 31 (4 TD 1 FG)
3rd Q 23 (2 TD 3 FG)
4th Q 60 ( 8 TD 2 FG )


In six games, a total of 15 points scored in the first quarter or 2.5 points per game for both teams!!!!!

That was a mistake.

That was a result of a fumble recovery in Bears territory...and it went down from there................

I am sure we will see the most votes on blowout, but wanted to see if anyone wanted to see a great game.

I personally do not. I want the absolute annihilation and unequivocal crowning of the King.

I want a blowout and the under . . .

 

[GoBlue]

Come on, Look at Falcons schedule. They lost 5 games and only won like 3 by more than 10 points against 3 of the worst teams. The wins were all very close.
The Patriots will dominate them.

 

[Todd Bradley]

I want it to be a massacre.

A beating so bad, it goes down as the least competitive Super Bowl ever.

I want Brady to shred Atlanta for five....no, make it six touchdown passes.

I don't hate the Falcons, but someone needs to be a scarifical lamb and unfortunately for them, they're it.

 

[CISGS]

I want a blowout but the only reason I don't, is that you know it will be spun as "Well. Atlanta overachieved". Then somehow everyone will discredit the win lol.

 

[KTMbi]

Both. A blowout is the greatest game.

 

[jmt57]

A blowout Patriot victory would be nice to throw in the face of all the haters who cling to the notion that Brady (and the BB-era Pats) are not that special since their Super Bowl wins have only been by three or four points.

 

[sb1]

Pats led the Packers after the 1st quarter of SB 31.

Technically it's not the BB era but he was on the coaching staff....

The last 6 Super Bowls have already taken enough years off of my life. I think Pats nation is due for a nice, decisive win.

That said, the Falcons are probably the most likeable Super Bowl opponent we've had.....so win or lose (or lose or lose badly) I wish them the best!

I know for some of us older guys it is no joke that we need to keep an eye on our health. I am on blood pressure medication and it effects how intently I can watch some games.

The SB game that was won by the Butler interception was one such game that I had to occasionally walk away from.

It would be nice to see a nice, relaxing blowout.

 

[The Gr8est]

However I want to be able to sit through the game and rewatch it without getting bored over the years.

So you get bored re-watching the butt fumble game?

[ScottishPatriots]

I don't care if the game is exciting or not, i just want the Pats to win.

Id happily take a Seahawks/Broncos type blowout.

So you get bored re-watching the butt fumble game?

No but i am not expecting that massive level of suck. Also I don't hate the Falcons like I do the Jets. For that kind of game you must delight in the other teams pain more as well as enjoy your team pouring it on.
