Superbowl XLIX Chatter

[PatsDeb]

Hey just want to give a shout out to the lucky Pats fans who will be supporting our team @ the game in Arizona! Are you guys planning an epic tailgate or what? Please share the sights, sounds, and eats at the game!

Tailgating is a must, if for nothing else, sharing great food and company! AmIrite?

The problem is they don't allow tailgating in the stadium lots as they want you to spend your money at the stadium.

With all of the talk about how great Seattles defense is, I gotta imagine the patriots defenders are getting sick of hearing about it like they've done nothing all year. They shut down some of the best offenses and qbs throughout the year and they get no respect. I feel a statement game for them on Sunday.

I am worried about 2 things: 1) Seattle studies the Giants' game plans from the last two Super Bowls & plays Brady THAT way; or 2) we get a 7 or 10 pt. lead and Russell Wilson stages one of those maddening comebacks. We need our D to play like they have all year - few or no points in the 2nd half. We also need a game plan that allows Brady to get rid of the ball quickly.

2nd game, Brady played great, broke the SB record for consecutive completions.

The New England Patriots have defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX...on Madden NFL 15. Saw this on Facebook from the Patriots. Shane Vereen and Richard Sherman were playing Madden and Vareen won. Hope the real deal happens this Sunday.

BB better wear the grey hoodie. Didn't he wear blue in last super bowl?

No. He wore the grey one. I recall Linda Holiday on Twitter or something saying she told BB all the fans want to make sure he wears grey since he deviated during SB 42. She said that he will be wearing the grey one. And your proof is below:

Hm...perhaps blue then?

To wash or not wash?
That is the question

Does anybody tailgate in the hotel parking lots?

I don't care if BB wears a dress. Just WIN!!!!

You know, in watching the 2012 game again, it looked like the Pats played a 4-3 with Wilfork playing all over the line. I think that for the Pats to win either Brady or Wilfork will have to be the MVP.

I do not see Wilfork as the player he was. Late this year he's been pushed from his spot - and not by double team. Of the two, it's Brady. He gets the train going in right directions, it will be ok.

As far as the supposed injuries to seahawks defenders, well tom brady has been questionable with shoulder for years now. LOL, BB. There might be a little gamesmanship in the injury leaks/reports by the Seahawks.

Did you see the NFCCG? They both definitely got hurt. Sherman's could barely use his left arm. I have no idea how Green Bay's staff didn't notice. I am not buying the idea that Thomas went out for a few snaps to lay the foundation for an injury smokescreen for the Super Bowl. He got hurt.

 

[DefenseRules]

LOL Marshawn Lynch. I know the media doesn't like it. I love it. These media clowns act like they rule the world. You just HAVE TO talk to them. He is quietly saying F U. I love it. I'm sure the league hates it.

Decided to do "somewhat" of a simulation of Super Bowl XLIX earlier today. I say somewhat because I was controlling the Patriots, so it wasn't CPU vs CPU. But the game was played with 8 minute quarters and the difficulty was at "Pro" (I'm a mix between casual and hardcore so Pro and maybe All-Pro are my limits). Anyway, Team Stats:
Score: 25-17 New England Patriots
Total Offense: 432(Patriots) 359 (Seahawks)
Rushing Yards: 131 (Patriots) 58 (Seahawks)
Passing Yards: 301 (Patriots & Seahawks)
First Downs: 22 (Patriots) 12 (Seahawks)
Punt Return Yards: 0 (Patriots & Seahawks)
Kick Return Yards: 81 (Patriots) 44 (Seahawks)
Total Yards: 513 (Patriots) 403 (Seahawks)
Turnovers: 2(-1) (Patriots) 1(+1) (Seahawks)
2-Point Conversion: 1-1(100%) (Patriots) 0-0(0%) (Seahawks)
Red Zone %: 4-4(100%) (Patriots) 2-4(50%) (Seahawks)
Red Zone Touchdowns: 3 (Patriots) 1 (Seahawks)
Red Zone Field Goals: 1 (Patriots) 1 (Seahawks)
Penalties: 0-0 (Patriots) 1-5 (Seahawks)
Possession Time: 16:53 (Patriots) 15:07 (Seahawks)

Next up, Player Stats:
New England Patriots:
QB Tom Brady 19 comp./28 att.; 310 yds; 67% comp.; 2 TDs; 1 INT
HB Shane Vereen 26 rush att./111 yds; 1 TD; 1 FUMB
TE Rob Gronkowski 7 catches/81 yds; 1 TD
WR Brandon Lafell 5 catches/106 yds: 1 TD
WR Julian Edelman 5 catches/69 yds
TE Tim Wright 2 catches/54 yds

Seattle Seahawks:
QB Russel Wilson 18 comp./20 att.; 326 yds; 90% comp.; 2 TDs; 5 rush att./ 38 yds
RB Marshawn Lynch 9 rush att./22 yds; 1 catch/6 yds
WR Doug Baldwin 5 catches/117 yds; 2 TDs
WR Ricardo Lockette 4 catches/102 yds
WR Jermaine Kearse 3 catches/48 yds
WR Kevin Norwood 2 catches/16 yds
WR Luke Wilson 2 catches/25 yds
WR Robert Turbin 1 catch/12 yds

Both kickers of New England and Seattle only kicked one field goal the entire game and both were made. Patriots HB Legarrette Blount only played once and it was a 17 yd run during a 3rd & 10.

Even though the stats put up by the Patriots looked too dominant, the game was a lot closer than you think. Wilson threw an 82 yd TD pass to Baldwin on 3rd & 10 when they got the ball first in the beginning of the game to give Seattle a 7-0 lead. Brady answered back when he led his team to the redzone and threw a short pass to Lafell for the TD. 2nd quarter saw a field goal by Gostowski to lead at 10-7 but Wilson threw another TD pass to make it 14-10 at the half. The 3rd quarter saw New England score another TD and succeeded in a 2-point conversion attempt to make it 18-14. Seattle answered back with a field goal to make it 18-17. The fourth quarter saw New England score again with a rushing TD by Vereen to make it 25-17. With a little over two minutes to go, Wilson had the ball and was only a few yards away from a touchdown and 2 points to tie the game. However, New England's defense forced them to go for it on 4th down and shattered Seattle's hope for back to back Super Bowls. Because Seattle still had their three time outs, New England had to run the ball until Seattle used them all up...and they did. Brady then kneeled to finally win his 4th ring.

Notes:
-As mentioned in the player stats, Brady threw an interception and Vereen fumbled the ball (and was recovered by Seattle). Wilson, however, fumbled twice and one of them were recovered by New England.
-Rob Gronkowski, despite playing in the game, was almost pulled out as he suffered both an abdominal strain and cramped muscles (both medium leveled injuries).
-Although he was not injured, Russell Wilson took some nasty hits that should've taken him out. Ironically, one big hit came from his former teammate, Brandon Browner.

Too long? Didn't read? Patriots beat Seattle in my simulation by the score of 25-17.

Friend told me Chicago TV had some sort of psychic on claiming the Seahawks would win a close one. Apparently she said, the Seahawks will do a lot of things the Pats haven't seen or will be confused by.

Not that I take this seriously but it had me thinking, is there anything the Seahawks can do that would baffle BB and the staff? (apart from pulling miracles out of their ass like against GB)

No.

One thing I was thinking about is the Sherman/Revis angle and how it impacts Brady and the Pats game plan. For 5 years, the Pats had to deal with a shutdown corner 2 times every year: Revis when he was with the Jets. Granted, the Pats had problems at times, but for the most part, they did OK. I wonder how the fact that they had to deal with a Revis type player helps them now.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

I would like for the dream I had last night to be prophetic.

I dreamed that I woke up, in bed, with the TV on, and the SB was on. The Pats were on about the 7 yard line, and I saw one play, which was an incomplete pass. I didn't know what down it was or what quarter. But I did see the score graphic, which read 51-10 Patriots.

I am not superstitious enough to sleep through the game in an attempt to replicate this result.
