SB LI: New England vs. Atlanta

Bramton1 : 1/22/2017 9:14 pm
Who are you rooting for?

I kind of want to root for Atlanta, but I also like the idea of the Giants being the only team capable of beating Tom Brady in a Super Bowl.

for the reason you described above. I hope they keep winning them, because that will make our TWO victories against them, including 18-1, that much more impressive.
Can't stand another Pats championship

but I do like the Giants being the only team to have their number...and don't want Matty Ice joining the elite class.
The Patriots

will become the first team to meet President Trump.

I thought earlier the Falcs could beat them but not anymore.
I hope Atlanta gets its first

Patriots and their fans are absolutely insufferable.
I dont root for anyone but the Giants...

Pats 41 Dirty Birds 20.. Bill B shows why he's the GOAT.

fair enough but the question is who are you rooting for, not who do you think is going to win.

I think you are underestimating Atlantas defense a bit here. They've been pretty damn good.

Don't care. I bet the Patriots to win the SB in August when I was in Vegas at 8 to 1 odds, so I'd win if they win, but if they lose it's fine with my, I live in metro-Boston and hate the obnoxious fans.

LatHarv83 : 1/22/2017 9:29 pm : link
I like the idea of being the only team to beat them in this era in the big one

I don't like the idea of them passing us in SB wins

I like the idea of any franchise winning their first SB before the Eagles do, so that's one for the Atlanta side. I can recall how much it pained my eagle fan friends when franchises like the saints and Seahawks broke through before them.

I'm a big admirer of belichick. But at the same time I don't like how people would make Brady the undisputed GOAT off of this

I really don't know yet
I don't understand how  
B in ALB : 1/22/2017 9:32 pm : link
any Giants fan could possibly root for the Patriots unless you have money riding.

Giants will still be the only team to beat them twice in the SB. Why the hell would you want douche Brady and their legion of douche fans to be able to claim more SB wins than the Giants? Fucking stupid.
Every SB run by the Patriots  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/22/2017 9:39 pm : link
is another reminder to Jets fans that Belichek refused to be the head coach of the mess that is their organization.

Pats 30 - Falcons 27.

Giantology : 1/22/2017 9:50 pm : link
But with Atlanta, they have so many that it's going to be a tall order to take them all away. Ultimately, I think NE's offense is able to keep them in the game and then Chris Hogan will have some ridiculous game-winning TD from Brady.
Rooting for Atlanta  
NYerInMA : 1/22/2017 9:53 pm : link
but I'm sure the Pats will pull some more magic out of their ass, like they did against Seattle in XLIX.
Defense wins championships.

and the Patriots have the better D.

Bill2 : 1/22/2017 9:58 pm : link
I consider Bill from the Giants coaching tree. He was a great DC for us. He always respected our organization and TC. That is the extra finger on the scale for me.

Seattle had the better D two years ago, and they still lost. There's more to it than that I think.

No Met fan is going to root for Atlanta  
Cruzin : 1/22/2017 10:14 pm : link

and no Yankee fan is going to root for Boston.

That said, the Pats defense is probably their most impressive accomplishment this year. It's like they evolve to get better every week.

I'm in the more the Patriots win the better the Giants' wins against them look camp.

Let's go Pats.

I wonder what percent have been coached (in part) by Belichick when you add in his 7 as HC in NE, 3 as DC (two in NY and one in NE).

20%?

Calculate the championship games the guy has been a part of (add in the Jets vs Broncos too).

Never BET against Belichick

B in ALB : 1/22/2017 10:35 pm : link
would want the Patriots to claim more SB victories than our organization is beyond my comprehension. I would MUCH rather see a city like Atlanta claim its first. You guys latching on to some weird notion about Belichick are like scorned prom dates. He couldn't care less about the Giants at this point unless his team is playing them.
rooting for Atlanta

psychosis that you care so much about who other Giants fans prefer win a game the Giants aren't playing in and has no tangible effect on them.

regardless of the reason.

You have money on the game. Congrats.

It's a thread about who you want to win, but pj doesn't want to discuss it bc he is a Boston fan. All good, sweet Caroline.

LOL, yeah I'm a Boston fan. There isn't a person on this board who hates Boston sports teams more than me. Not the Patriots, Red Sox or Bruins. No one. I guarantee it. Even BC. There are times when a Boston team loss makes me feel better than a team I actually root for winning, but you go ahead and care so much who other Giants want to win a football game. who gives a shit if some of these people prefer the Patriots win. who gives a shit?

Ok. But you have money

on the Pats winning right?
I've got no  
giantgiantfan : 1/22/2017 10:50 pm : link
ill will for the Falcons and wouldn't mind seeing them get A SB. I do like that the Giants are the only team to have beaten the Patriots though.

In the end I probably will not root for either as I don't care. I just hope we get a good game.
I'd rather Atlanta.  
Dave in Hoboken : 1/22/2017 10:50 pm : link
I don't want to see the Pats take the lead on the Giants on SB wins, which is what this game would do for them. Sickening that they might win more SBs than the Giants in like half of the time. (16 years).

Yes, I bet the Patriots to win the Super Bowl every year, and I have since 2008 at a company event each August at the Venetian in Vegas.

I have collected on the bet once (the Seattle debacle).

It's money I would gladly lose to not have to listen to the asshole fanbase all off-season, but winning the money does take some sting out of it, not going to lie.
Atlanta getting their first would be ok  
JohnF : 1/22/2017 11:03 pm : link
but it would be fun seeing the rat Rodger Goodell having to stand at the podium and give the trophy to Kraft and Brady, while getting booed. Especially if Kraft is drunk.
If you had the pats at 8 to 1 you root for the pats  
LatHarv83 : 1/22/2017 11:27 pm : link
This fan thing is cool and all but above all I'm a fan of my bank account. Certainly ahead of a bunch of dudes who don't know I exist. And the Giants aren't even involved. PJ, from your end this is easy.

They would be the 2nd team to win 5 in that many years, you'll be fine.
I guess I'm rooting for Atlanta  
illmatic : 1/23/2017 12:39 am : link
since they haven't won anything before and because, well, it's the Patriots. I don't really care about either team though. I wouldn't be that upset if the Patriots won though. It just means the Giants are the only team to beat them and it'll piss off Dallas/San Fran/Pittsburgh fans which is fine by me.
