Red Tiger Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Love the title, would be even more perfect if Denver didn't have any Super Bowls either, but the point remains, New england has more than all of them combined. What are your predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought... There may not be too many NE fans crossing over from Seattle this year. There is one thing that holds fan bases all over the country together, and that is a hatred for the Patriots. Embrace it, I did for years and years as a Cowboys fan. It comes from success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I can't believe this will be Brady's 10th conference title game. Individually, he's been to more than 27 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habit and Jerry Jones... If I had not been raised a Cowboys fan since the Tom Landry era, I would not be a fan of the team today. As it is, being a Cowboys fan has taught me a lot about sportsmanship in fandom over the last couple of decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkynJay Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The good news: The Broncos are in the championship game, it is being held in Denver, and Manning doesn't look near as bad as he did earlier in the year. The bad news: Im fucking flying on Sunday and will board the plane ten minutes before kickoff for the three hour flight. Oh and Chris Harris has a bum shoulder, Hoodey can coach circles around Kubiak, and Brady looks to be about six years younger than Manning when throwing to Gronk. I actually give Denver a pretty good chance this week, though if money was on the line I would go Pats. I desperately hope Kubs has some surprises in store; like say an up tempo offense that targets tight ends in the middle of the field once in a while?

Jace, Extat Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Devin McCourty will consume Owen Daniels in between the hashes. I'm not being hyperbolic. The linebackers will hold him down while McCourty performs a horrifying ritual in which he feasts on the man's organs to pay tribute to his dark god. Then his dark god will be in another championship game. Then the TE position reverts to Virgil Green, Darren Fells, and one-play Vernon Davis. ETA: So apparently Aaron Rodgers is upset about the coinflip... Fuck him, a damn crybaby. It's not even like the Packers won the first 'toss' anyways.

SkynJay Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Honest to god. I forgot all about the Vernon Davis trade. Has he had a catch since his second game with Denver? I can't remember one. Virgil Green has potential but has also had a case of the dropsies (a pass catcher for the Broncos? Can't be!). That said I just want Kubs to let the Patriots know that he remembers there even IS a middle of a field to keep the safeties honest for a while. I feel that teams can currently just double team the sidelines with the current play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSnow4President Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well, I'm going all road again. This is Brady. The Pats are largely healthy. While Manning looks slightly better than earlier this season, he doesn't seem capable of throwing a ball into a light breeze. And I think the mental strength is in part mitigated by going against Darth Hoodie & co, who tend to be one of the smarter teams out there. As far as Cards/Panthers, it's more because I think the Cards are a more complete team. Very similar quality defenses, but I trust Palmer & co more than I trust Cam and the pussycats that pretend to be Panthers WR's. ETA: I'm 8/8 so far. Hoping I'm 10/10 at the end of this week.

sperry Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I forgot about the Davis trade as well. Crazy how fast guys just lose the ability to play in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm rooting for a Denver vs Carolina SB. Although I think a Denver vs Arizona matchup would be fun as well. Basically I'm in the "Anyone but the Pats" camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
