Super Bowl Sunday
by Steve Gibson, Feb 03, 2008 2:46pm PSTSo it is indeed Super Bowl Sunday. We figure at least 5 people here are watching the
game while near a computer so how about we just have it all right in here. This is your
Super Bowl thread. Some tips about the game of football:
- If you can throw a pig you can throw a football.
- OJ did it.
- Those first down lines they draw on TV are kinda cool.
- If you want the Patriots to lose, that doesn't necessarily mean you're not a true
patriot.
- In fact it probably means you ARE a patriot.
- John Madden is in to scat and will draw you a diagram.
- You probably are better at making decisions on when to go for it on 4th down than the
offensive coordinator.
- A half time that is longer than 2 quarters of football is appropriate.
- There is a Star Trek Enterprise marathon showing on Sci-fi, in case you don't have
testicles.

The '07 Pats did not run the ball with any consistency. Their defense, while adequate, was nowhere near dominant. They could pass, and could do so with great proficiency. But they were a one-dimensional team for most of the season. I've seen seemingly unstoppable passing teams struggle in Superbowls before. The Raiders were favorites against the Bucs powered by the league's best passing offense, but they sputtered against the Bucs and lost. The Ram's "greatest show on turf" had a spectacular passing offense, but struggled against the Pat's defense and lost as favorites. Even in their Superbowl win over Tennessee, they only managed 23 points against the Titan's tough D.
If all you can do is pass, eventually at some point, through the course of the long season and post-season, someone will have the talent and scheme to stop that, or at least slow it down. We started to see it towards the tail end of this season with the Pats. If you are a one trick pony, it doesn't matter how great you are at that one trick, you will eventually be exposed.

No one cares.....
If it would have been anyone other than the Patriots going for the perfect record, I would have gladly rooted for them just to shut the Dolphins up about something that no one other than them (and the media since they need all the stories they can get) cares about.
Go in your sad little corner and drink your champagne you douchebags.

When the Giants had the ball with 1 second left Manning should've faked the kneel then thrown a bomb to a wide open Burress for another 6.

In other news, the danish commentators were so profoundly stupid, that even I, a complete novice could discern that most of the time they didn't know wtf they were talking about, and were just talkin out of their asses. Oh, and the feed was somewhat out of sync, so in the first 2 quarters of the game you could hear them say whether or not a ball had been catched before we could see it leave the throwers hands!

I consider the triumph of the Giants akin to triumph of Good over Evil! Tom Brady is a smug cheater (i.e. ditching his pregnant girlfriend, the videotape cheating, etc.) and I consider it football karma that Giants were victorious!
That dumb luck play with the near sack and the hand/helmet catch was the great equalizer slamming the hammer down on Tom Brady, IMO
