Super Bowl LI .. PREGAME thread

[AtomicDawg]

A nugget from Reiss' column:



As expected. There is just no way to keep 5 WRs active and it looks like he didnt show enough to be worth it over Mitchell who has a considerably better grasp on the playbook.

Also if he was active that would be a loss of a DB potentially. Rather the secondary to prim with guys to counter ATL's speed.

He can even cut Brady in training camp and I will not say a peep.

You'd be the only one.

My dog is ready for the game. Seriously what dog can support the Falcons after what their former QB did to dogs....It is food coloring applied by PetSmart that washes off in 2 days....

I wonder if Petsmart would put food coloring on my hip? Looks pretty good. I'm not even that hairy.

Can you lick your.........?
Never mind...
It was cheap enough, I think $4 for each side..he's my good luck charm. The only games we didn't watch together were first Buf game and Seattle.....so yeah, we're watching the game together today.....

I hope that Mack plays as bad as Mankins did while injured in the Super Bowl.

Falcons C Alex Mack reportedly will play in Super Bowl LI with ‘chip fracture’ in left fibula

mack has a chip fracture.

Calling it now. Trey Flowers strip sack TD.

No surprise there, White can line up as WR3. Perhaps against Collins, there is a height mismatch.

 

[Keyser Söze]

No fire alarms pulled hopefully....

Brown,Branch or Valentine will hit him like a Mack truck

The Patriots have never won or lost a game by 7 points or more in a game broadcasted by Buck & Aikman. At least that I know of.

On Fox broadcasted Super Bowl games: NFC is 4 -3. ( Patriots are 2-2 on Fox SB's).

Patriots are 13-7 against NFC in last 20 games. *4 of the 7 losses were at home ( Wearing Blue). The other 3 losses ( Seattle, Carolina, GB) were wearing white.

* Brady has thrown more SB interceptions wearing Blue than white.

* Patriots are 1-1 on February 3rd SB's. 2-0 on February 1st, 1-1 on SB's after Feb 3rd. Unfortunately the Giants second loss was on February 5th. This is the BB/TB era. They've never won a SB in January in their history.

* The Patriots two losses under BB ( Wearing Blue) came in the last two minutes. They won both ( Wearing White) under two minutes.

* Random tidbits...

That's fine pats have lots of center blittz packcages. Ran them less than last year but I'd imagine for this game we will see them fairly often.

I've never been so chill before a championship game. That win two years ago took a lot of pressure off and shut people up, for many reasons.

Win this one, and there is no debate. All of Montana's fanboys can **** off.

Brown could be a dark horse for SB MVP.

With how serious Mack's injury is, I feel confident in a fairly comfortable victory.

Interesting that although Mack was listed as limited in practice, his status was never even lowered to 'questionable' on Atlanta's injury report. I suppose that may be because the 'probable' designation has been eliminated this year, but it does seem odd for an injury that severe.

You know who had a broken leg in the Super Bowl?
Ask Tim Krumrie because he had a broken leg.
