    Super Bowl XLVI Discussion - NY Giants vs. NE Patriots



    Use this thread to discuss the Super Bowl.

    DO NOT post rumored or leaked commercials ahead of time though unless with a spoiler tag. I don't really care to see them until they air.

    The fact that a sports fan would start a thread like this is

    The dumbass commercials are for women and morons who only show up for "the party".

    I'm pretty sure I ripped on this thread last year too.

    He records the Super Bowl and fasts forwards the game to get to the commercials. Right after he watches Big Brother 23.

    There I changed the title...happy? even though I'm sure Eric will be the first one to comment in here about the commercials.

    Anyways, I think the Evil Genius is stewing at the Tyree "catch" and losing out on a perfect year. I think he's going to cook up an ass whooping of the G-Men.

    Right now I say 38-17 Pats.

    its of course possible...but he doesnt have the personnel for it. This team may well be like an early Broncos team with Elway. Brady got them here but they dont the right personnel to finish the job.

    With two weeks til the game, we usually have the smallest update on the most ridiculous thing. I think for this Super Bowl Waiting Period it's going to be Gronk's ankle.

    Just to copy my post from the NFL thread:

    Without explanation, Pats win the Super Bowl.

    If you guys want to make score predictions, I can make a table on the first post and see how gets the closest.

    In the regular season, both passing defenses were in the bottom five of the league. The Giants have somewhat woken up and have only given up 200 yards per game in the postseason and 4 TD's. They faced a shaky Falcons team, a distracted Packers team, and a horrible offense in the Niners. The Pats have two weeks to get ready. They have two weeks to see what all of a sudden has been working for the Giants. And the Evil Genius and Tom Brady sure don't want to be second fiddle to Eli again. All this leads to me picking this to end up a 3-score game.

    You're not giving the Giants enough credit. The Falcons aren't all that, I agree. However, they blasted a 15-1 Green Bay team and the best you can come up with is "distracted"? C'mon, Man!

    In a league that is very schedule centric, when you throw that off, on top of having a bye. It was not a surprise that they struggled on offense after the death of Philbin's son.

    There's something you have to realize about the NFL. The smallest things seem to motivate these guys to elevate themselves to higher than their normal playing ability. Just look at what Brady did to Denver (admittedly, a pretty damn good defense) with all the talk about Tebow. You can't tell me that everyone talking about how the Pats are gonna lose because of defense and how Eli has elevated himself to one of the best in the league (which I think is bullshit, mind you - you aren't one of the best in the league when, the previous year, you threw 25 INTs and barely complete 61% of your passes - that is absolutely NOT one of the best in the league) isn't going to make Brady and company annihilate the Giants.

    Everyone said the Colts would lose throughout the year and they did. I did see them get motivated to beat anyone.

    Last week, you were positive it was going to be the Niners and Ravens.

    I'm just saying, give the Giants some credit.

    Oh, and it's funny that you're picking the Patriots after going off about how "shitty" the AFC is and how the AFC Championship wouldn't matter because the winner would just be fodder for the powerful NFC.

    Meh. That's an overrated excuse. If they had won, it would have been because they were motivated to win for Philbin. Whatever.

    If my co-worker's kid dies, it's no excuse for me to under-perform for the week.
