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.

Belichick is family

I also want to see Goodell hand them the trophy.
Anybody but NE

I see it as a win-win situation.

We remove another woebegone franchise from the list of teams to never have won a Superbowl and the Eagles still remain or the Giants are still the only team which beat the Patriots in the Superbowl. Cannot lose with either choice.
New England.

Cousins are big Pat fans & I respect TB & BB.

I give the tip to wanting the Giants 2 wins against the Pats to stand out against them beating all other Superbowl comers

To me that's like saying you'd root for the Cowboys because Landry was family. Ancient history.

giantfan2000 : 1/23/2017 8:43 am : link
everyone is saying that Falcons defense isn't good
I think NE defense is overrated as well..

Bell was having insanely great playoffs and if he doesn't get hurt the first quarter it is a different ball game.


I think NE won't be able to keep up with Atlanta Offense
the game won't even be close
How can any fan of the NFL not root for Atlanta?  
Jimmy Googs : 1/23/2017 8:48 am : link
Looking forward to a good game as I haven't seen many teams be able to cover Julio AND the Falcons RBs out of the backfield yet...

I don't care if someone else joins us in beating them in the Super Bowl.It will be good to see a different team win a title,let Ryan into the same group as Brees,Rodgers,Flacco,Wilson,as active one time winners.
I just want a good game  
UConn4523 : 1/23/2017 8:58 am : link
these playoffs have been among the worst I've ever seen. Literally, the fucking worst (and that's got nothing to do with the Giants). 10 games, only 2 of which were competitive for longer than a half. Its been a disgrace.

The Superbowl is usually a crapshoot from a quality standpoint but i'm holding out hope there's a reason to watch the 4th quarter. I don't actually care who wins, there's pros and cons to both teams winning IMO, but for the love of sports please make this game competitive.

Patriots and their fans are absolutely insufferable.

yes
ATL is capable of beating NE...  
BillKo : 1/23/2017 9:21 am : link
because they are the one team I believe that can keep up with them offensively, and also put pressure on them that way.

I think it will be a great game, and most likely close.

It's not ancient history. I can remember those two Super Bowls clearly.
It's such a dilemma

I love Belichick yet I despise the Patriots.
I am rooting for a good game.

Might be nice to see Atlanta win....but It will not pain me to see NE win. I do like BB and he has an Annapolis connection.

BigBlueinChicago : 1/23/2017 5:22 pm : link
is something that always sticks in my head when the Patriots face a very good offense going back to the Giants Super Bowl.

This means that Bill and the D want the ball to go specific players and force them to make plays to beat them.

No doubt they will double up on Julio and probable then use Butler to battle up with Sanu one on one without help.

They want the ball to go Gabriel and the tight ends figuring the rest of the team will be able to tackle and hold down the running game when those times come up.

Falcons will likely move the ball. But can see the Pats defense hold them to a FG enough times inside the 30 yard line to get the W.

Mike in Marin : 1/23/2017 5:38 pm : link
more and more sick of their insufferable fans...many of whom I attended college with in New England, and who post unceasingly on facebook (which I have started to unfollow).

So I am rooting for the Falcons.

Still, I do not hate the Patriots anywhere nearly as much as many NFC teams (Dallas, Philly, Wash, SF, and others to a lesser degree) and the Jets (not the team as much as their fans).

I am so relieved that Dallas got knocked out, that I am trying to be thankful even if the Pats win, which looks highly likely given their experience and how they destroyed a very good Steelers team last night.
And arguments about us  
Mike in Marin : 1/23/2017 5:40 pm : link
having beaten the Pats in 2 SBs is ancient history to me. They are a dynasty and I feel like a tool even bringing that up after we have sucked for 4 of the 5 seasons since the last one.

Has a typical arrogant shitty hatchet job article today about how it's hard to get pumped up about a Super Bowl against a team and city like Atlanta.

That ugly fuck Shauggnessy actually terms the matchup for the Patriots as, " Meh".

Asshole. He and their legion of bandwagon shit stains.

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.

I saw a pre-season game between the Giants and the Patriots 2 or 3 years ago. I got the Patriots feed. Their broadcasters were so obnoxious. They need to be put in their place.
