Holy shit.

I could not be more opposite than you I guess. Both Championship games have the potential to be epic, and there are three teams that I can root for going forward (F NE).Skinypupy wrote:With the remaining teams, I honestly could not care less who wins.
A few years back (Packers/Steelers) we departed on a 7-day cruise on Super Bowl Sunday and I challenged myself to go the whole cruise without knowing who won. I was successful (lots of preemptive conversations with randoms, letting them know of my experiment) right up until we got back to the port of Miami and I had it spoiled in the subject line of an email.Skinypupy wrote:Dang, was pulling for the Chiefs.

I do get to watch the SB on a cruise ship again this year, so at least that'll be fun.

They have a big watch party on the 70k heavy metal cruise, which is hilarious. There's a few actual fans, then a ton of drunken metalheads (often from outside the US) who know nothing about football and just want an excuse to scream and yell and drink even more. Last year, we spent the entire game explaining the rules to a big group from Finland and Norway. It was a blast.The Meal wrote:A few years back (Packers/Steelers) we departed on a 7-day cruise on Super Bowl Sunday and I challenged myself to go the whole cruise without knowing who won.

His second favorite team is whoever is playing the Packers. His second most hated team is the Cowboys.Ralph-Wiggum wrote:Is it just me, or does this make zero sense?Jeff V wrote:My second favorite team lost.At least me second most hated team lost, too, so that's some consolation.

I agree.RunningMn9 wrote:I don't think so, and there were four even if one didn't count.
Like, I understand that Tom Brady is just fucking absurd. I get it. I get that he's an instant HOFer and that many believe he is the best to ever play the game (with substantial reason).
But there are just things that Aaron Rodgers can do that I've never seen any other QB be able to do. When he's "on" he is just absolutely incredible.

They may not have been but it seems that we are going to get the two best teams from the AFC and NFC in the Super Bowl (though after today's Atlanta/GB game I would have liked to see Dallas vs Atlanta).Isgrimnur wrote:Nice to see that today's games were competitive.

Except for the previous Sunday, the whole playoffs have been a stinker. Hopefully we can at least end it with a good game...Isgrimnur wrote:Nice to see that today's games were competitive.
Atlanta has certainly looked good, but I think they have capitalized mostly on the other team's mistakes. I think NE pulls this out.stessier wrote:On the one hand, Brady has never played in a Super Bowl where the final score difference was greater than 4 points. On the other hand, holy cow did Atlanta look good these last 2 games!

Fixed that for you. The Patriots haven't played a good QB in the AFC East since 2001 and Vinny Testaverde, the best QB fielded by the Jets, Bills, or Dolphins since that time was Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick (and Chad Pennington) is so good that after he was cut, another AFC East team picked him up.El Guapo wrote:Well, the good news is that the Patriots are playing, not those Cheatriots assholes.YellowKing wrote:This might be the first Superbowl I skip in like 25 years.

But seriously, it's not at all clear that the Patriots will win this. The Falcons have the #1 scoring offense, and while the Patriots have the #1 scoring defense, they played a really shitty slate of quarterbacks the last 15 years (thanks, AFC East). So, the Falcons could score a ton in this.

I'm sorry, but this is just the stupidest line of reasoning I've seen and it keeps getting repeated over and over (ire directed at argument and not poster). Exactly how have they benefited? I believe they have swept the division exactly twice in 16 years. Those aren't easy games and they don't always win them.That is also true. Belichick and Brady are both great, but obviously the Patriots dynasty has benefited enormously from the division being pretty shitty for most of that time.
