Super Bowl LI .. PREGAME thread

[slash83]

I think our defense will get 3 and outs. They need to shut down the running game.

They will, but Atlanta is too good to stop consistently, real game will be won and loss inside the 20s imo.

New England...

Well i am talking about the state and not just new england. It's amazing how much this team's hated. Plz win this game. I am in new york and i can only imagine going to work the next day. Ughhh

Well..SB49 was the same way. Nothing they can't handle.

Turned on fox pregame so far so good they are actually talking football! Howie is excited and nervous, heck them showing our players arriving is giving me chills, the good kind

LT "well, I've never played in one, but I don't think experience matters..."

Haha. You have never played in one. So we don't believe you.

teams which scores first in the superbowl has won 36 of the 50 superbowls.

Pats bucked the trend 3 times in their 8 prior games. 85 versus Bears, 01 versus Rams, 04 versus Eagles.

I am sure everyone outside of mass will be rooting against the pats. The hate's real. Gotta win this.

There are tons of us displaced New Englanders all over the country, and one of us is good for a few hundred of any other fan type. We'll be OK.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Just checking through the thread to see if I've missed anything important.

Nope.

Which is good.

Just cannot stand to watch pregame shows any more and I certainly don't need anything to get me up for kickoff. I went for a nice long walk in the woods with mom-in-law's dog, and now I'm distracting myself by reading the UK Highway Code (two-week trip in late April).

I'll check back here every now and then. Til then ...

Ommmmmmm.

(*yawn)...what...there's a game today? No kiddin'. So, is it a big deal?...

My absolute #1 key to the game, Atlanta will move the ball, if Pats hold them to fgs every other trip Patriots win. Gotta stay stingy in the red zone.

#1 key for me is no turnovers. Brady has thrown a pick in the superbowl more than once . We cant have that.

Still 3.5 hours until the game. Of course all the bandwagon Falcons fans are going to show up early. Pats fans have been to the SB 3 times in the last 6 years, they know you don't have to show up 3-4 hours early.

True statement, everyone down here is rooting for Atlanta, not because they are falcons fans (very few of them in real life anyhow...think unicorns) but because they want the Pats to
Lose. L oh effing L.

 

[PatsfanTN]

As long as we don't start off with and intentional grounding or a Safety... I'll feel better.

[PatriotsPimp136]

Plz no slow starts. It would be nice to break that hex of not scoring in the first quarter.

 

[Mainepatsfan54]

The hate is definitely strong. I live in NC now and at work some people were like "oh can't wait for the falcons to win!" I was like "aren't you a panthers fan? That would be like me rooting for the jets." They're a bunch of bandwagon fans anyways.

My husband is from Tampa so he is a Bucs fan. He wants the pats to win because 1. He hates the dirty birds 2. Happy wife happy life
