Super Bowl Thread

Our New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl but I know many of our members are Giants fans. Here's a thread for your predictions and comments. Be sure to vote in the poll below.

RLW · 01-28-2012, 01:32 PM

Forget the fancy commercials, lets go for the chicken wings, cold beer and a fantastic Patriot's football game.

SteveA · 01-28-2012, 03:11 PM

Lot's of good fans on both sides of this years game. It should be fun.

Pineedles · 01-28-2012, 08:36 PM

Any year that 2 excellent teams wind up in the Super Bowl makes for a great game and the fans are the winners!

You are right as long as the Pat's come out on top at the end of the game.

Bear Island South · 01-28-2012, 09:28 PM

its going down to the wire with the Giants pulling out a victory with a field goal

trfour · 01-29-2012, 12:08 AM

That showed they deserve to play it out in the XLVI!!

However, with the will of Coach Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and Team New England Patriots, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them pull together and win!!.. There is something about not coming from a perfect season, that adds some salsa and other things to the mix. I hope the Gronk gets well soon, and can play in this game too! He sure deserves to!

Brady and the Pats eat the Giants alive 35-10

SAMIAM · 01-29-2012, 08:42 AM

I agree with Winnisquamguy and won't be happy with anything less than a Denver-style spanking of the NY Dwarfs.
Keep in mind that NY took the SB,last time,on what amounted to a "hail mary" pass.....they did the same thing to San Fran.Don't think it's going to happen again.

Being from Colorado and a huge Broncos fan I have no vested interest in either team, however I will say this in regards to their loss to the Pats, the reason why they were "spanked" is because they didn't show up to play at all. Anyone could have beat the Broncos that day. The pats barely won against the Jags just like the Giants barely beat the 49'ers. Could have just as easily been 9er's vs Jags.

My prediction on the game? Can't underestimate Belichick just when you think you got him figured out he pulls some brilliant play out at the right time that can be the difference maker. Since I think both teams in the end equal out, it's all about the coaching and there is no denying that Bill is the best coach the NFL has seen in a long time. Very slight edge to the Pats for this reason only. Should be a good game.

I just hope that the penalty calling doesn't get out of hand. I do like the new OT rule where each team gets at least one possession unless a touchdown is scored. That was long overdue.

sa meredith · 01-29-2012, 01:03 PM

Giants are indeed a great team. For anyone who may be just a casual observer of the NFL, NY was hit with many injuries this past season, and they were not a truly healthy football team, until the final weeks of the season. They are now healthy, and truth be told, probably much "fresher" (for lack fo a better term) than the Pats.
I believe this game will be won/lost in one catagory...Pats O line, vs Giants D line. The Giants D line is tough, mean, rip your head off aggressive...
Light and Mankins simply must bring their A game, or Brady will have a problem. A real problem.
That being said...
It says here, that the Pats will score early, and Eli will make a key mistake late, as the Patriots win by 17.
Sorry Pineedles...not this year.
The brothers "Goober" have 1 Super Bowl a piece, and that's all they're getting.
"Ah, shucks Pa...."

Jags????!!! How many Coors have you had out there?

Janet · 01-29-2012, 04:45 PM

Never count the Giants out until that final whisle blows!!!! My boys are hungry and healthy. If Brady plays the way he did against the Ravens, the Pats are in trouble. GO GIANTS!

One of the reasons I think the Pats will crush the Giants is that the Giants have won 3 out of the last 4...Bill is not going to let it happen again. Besides they still have a bad taste in there mouth from the last time they played.Pats will be hungrier and it will show on the scoreboard.You are right Eli has had a lot of 4th quarter comebacks this year, but I just don't see it happening again.

I am pretty certain that the Patriots will not crush the Giants but am praying that Gronk can play and the Pats can win in a real SQUEAKER. That is my heart talking. My head thinks that if I were a betting woman, the Giants might get my money though never would they have my heart. My hopes and my heart are with the Pats. My head seems to think that the Giants might be able to beat us but hope my head is wrong!

To many apparently

I just hope that next weekend we finally get some snow cause I'd rather be out riding the sleds than having nothing better to do than watch football.

ESPN is 3 miles from from my house. Somehow we can intercept all the sub-electrolysis broadcasts from their deep dish reverse network, informing us of all the subcutaneous info. Take it to the bank, Giants 24, Patriots 15.

I think the microwaves from their dishes are permeating the red corpuscles of your brain!

Jonas Pilot · 01-29-2012, 07:05 PM

... for letting us break the rules about no sports to let us talk about the 46th Super Bowl. I've lived up here for more than 20 years and I'm still a GIANTS fan!

Go BIG BLUE!!!

Resident 2B · 01-29-2012, 07:28 PM

Football heaven for me.

I was a Giants fan way back in the day. YA Tittle and Sam Huff were my heros. I know, that was a while ago.

Then came the AFL and the Boston Patriots. Attended the first ever AFL game at Nickerson Field at BU. I slowly transitioned into a fan of both teams, and that is where I am today.

I will admit, over the last 12 years the Pats are my #1, but Giants remain a close second. The game will also be close and enjoyable. I also really like those ads at $3.5mm for 30 seconds.

john60ri · 01-29-2012, 09:27 PM

I'm with RESIDENT 2B. The Patriots are the home team now. When I was a kid, the Giants were the home team. Hoping for a close, exciting game. Nothing worse than a SuperBowl blowout.

Why spend 3 to 4 hours watching the game when the last 5 to 10 minutes will decide it.

Don,

In years past we had to link our posts to the lake region!! like starting the post with: Where is a good place at the lake to watch the supper bowl? Then we could go into our real posting reason. Like the Pats will spank the Giants ect. I see in your post you "did not link to the lake!"

What happened to that Forum rule?????

It must be nice to be the Site master!!

Just kidding Don. Thanks to the place for us PATS fans to post.

I could not believe the last play of the game. How close can you get? This was a top notch game, love it when its so close. Now about the half time and that nasty nasty girl. You think she was saluting a Marine Patrol after she got a ticket for indecent exposure!
