Re: All Things NFL
My pick is that it'll be Patriots/Packers. Three of the four teams are a giant snoozefest though and the only one I will be rooting for is Atlanta.
Screw the Steelers.

Re: All Things NFL
I think it will be Patriots v. Packers but I'd rather see Patriots v. Falcons.

Re: All Things NFL
I agree on New England. Pittsburgh couldn't get a touchdown last week, so I don't see how they hope to beat the Patriots. I'm torn between the Packers and the Falcons. That could be a wild game.

Re: All Things NFL
Half-time and the Falcons are looking good! Never know about Aaron Rodgers though...

Re: All Things NFL
It would be a miracle if they come back to win.
Now tonight's game will determine if I'll root for the Steelers or the Falcons in the Super Bowl.

Re: All Things NFL
I was right about the Falcons (probably). Woot!
I doubt I'll be right about the Steelers, but we'll see I guess.

Re: All Things NFL
Looks I'll be cheering on the Falcons. After today's game, I think there will be much more excitement for the Super Bowl. Atlanta looks like they're capable of beating Tom Terrific's band of merry men.

Re: All Things NFL
I've picked against the Falcons in both of their games so far this postseason. My brain is telling me to pick against them again.
I don't really feel any hatred toward the Patriots. I don't really care about the Patriots. I will be rooting for Atlanta though, because it warms my hear to see downtrodden franchises pull out of the shitter and get a title. The last examples were New Orleans after the 2009 season and Seattle after 2013.
Things like that give a poor Bengals fan hope.

That analogy is a stretch, I know.
But it's not a stretch to call Brady and the Patriots "cheaters".
The dirty birds are the team America needs but doesn't deserve right now.

Re: All Things NFL
I've been a Miami Dolphins fan since I was about five years old. Dan Marino was one of my childhood heroes. The Dolphins have had only limited success since Marino retired. Part of that is management ineptitude and part of it is due to the sustained success of the Patriots. It's a division rivalry thing mostly, though I did think Brady was too cocky for my taste when he shot to stardom. I look forward to New England becoming average again when Brady retires, because it means parity may finally return to the AFC East.Golden wrote:Most comforting.G-Man wrote:You Patriots fans are as welcome with me come Super Bowl Sunday as Republicans are welcome with Dom and DH in the Politics thread.

Re: All Things NFL
But Jimmy Garappolo! I unfortunately think Belichick is more responsible for this sustained greatness than Brady. Brady is just the perfect person to win within his system. I'd expect them to remain very good after Brady is gone.G-Man wrote:I've been a Miami Dolphins fan since I was about five years old. Dan Marino was one of my childhood heroes.

Re: All Things NFL
I don't think a team can lose Tom Brady without missing a beat, but yeah I do expect New England to remain a strong team after he's gone (until Belichick retires). It might mean the difference between going to the AFC Championship game every year and merely being in playoff contention every year though.
