superbowl picks?

[useless_kraap]

whose gonna take it? I've had colts and peyton manning since last year, but not too many people around here have any faith in 'em

[T-WRX]

Pats or Pitt I can't FUCKING stand the Eagles. I grew up in Tampa so you know why.

Some over ego-ed pansies wearing more body armour than robocop

[kleph]

um, right (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/specialreports/specialnfl/) . now, moving on to the serious posts...

it's hard to pick against the patriots. they are the best coached team in the league. they have a strong core of players and the whole team works as a unit. this is the recipie for success in any sport.

but, that said, the eagles finally have all the tools and are playing at a high level right now. with owens back, they finally have the stick that might break the vaunted patriots defense.

as much as i love the steelers cinderella year i'm almost certain the clock struck midnight last week and the pumpkin arrives on sunday. atlanta simply is too one-dimensional to hold up in the championship against any of the others left.

I would never go as far as saying that even the worst NFL lineman is some kind of pussy. 6 foot 6 inch 350 lbs or more pounding the shit out of what ever he can scull fuck is hardly someone worthy of being called a pansy just so he can somewhat protect himself from his equal trying to do the same to him. The average term for a lineman is somthing like two to four years in the NFL due to the injuries they take on while on the field. What other sport (other than shintie SP?) has that low of an average career length. I know just about every person will say rugby or auss rules, but I can bet that the average is still longer in both of those sports. Not to take away from either of those two sports since I certainly respect what they do and are able to take physically, but to say that NFL players are pansies since they wear some padding is probabally not as waranted as you may think. I believe it hurts even more to get hit since there is absolutely no regard for your fellow man or yourself since you are "protected". Any full on helmet to helmet collision will fuck even the toughest guys up. Trust me. I don't mean to sound argumentative, but I just respectfully disagree.

I am becomming a believer in the Pats

[hazza]

N.E Pats

[Chido]

go wimpy seahawks oh wait, they lost for the 3rd time agian... Go NE and eagles, not sure who will win it though, but my bet is its NE and eagles in superbowl

you might find the link in my previous post of interest.

[T-WRX]

That is a good link thanks for the re-direction. I missed that the first time around. That makes my point exactly.

[gommo]

I'm going with the Steelers.

Corey Dillon or not, he's not going to help much since he'll be sitting on the bench this week as Duce and the Bus run down NE's throats.

[metalhed00]

We all know the Eagles will win! I have been a Eagles fan since I was wee tike and can't wait to goto the parade after they win.

and exactly how many times in your life have you seen them hoist the lombardi trophy? needless to say, we don't all know. in fact, most of us are highly doubtful of this outcome.

Lighten up, bud. Its just a game.

[T-WRX]

If they do win tomarrow, they won't win against the Pats. There is no stopping them I am afraid. This late in the game, I am going to have to support the steelers, but I think that is a bad choice.....Pats will most likely steam roll.

[T-WRX]

True Dat!!!!!! :swear: :jizz:

hey. it aint nothin but a thing to me, bro. i don't have a favorite team so i simply enjoy the game for the sport of it.

along those lines, i again urge anyone interested in this topic beyond the level of "go team!" to check out the excellent website football outsiders (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/). it looks at the game in terms of statistical analysis rather than the usual "i like team X and everyone else suck" approach.

oh, yeah. all this and it's pretty well written as well.

so, metalhed00, you should give a read to the NFC Championship (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/ramblings.php?p=2271&cat=3) analysis but don't forget to peek in on the AFC Championship (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/ramblings.php?p=2272&cat=3) analysis either. both have some pretty illuminating observations for tomorrow.

[T-WRX]

That is a good site....Been there before, and it is certainly worth the few secs to stop bye.

[mr_russy]

I think Eagles and Patriots in the Super Bowl, with Eagles just edging it, although I want the pats to win! I'll be in the lounge watching with a beer, pizza, brady shirt and hopefully a giant sponge hand.

[arelius19]

unfortunately im going with the pats..
though id love the falcons to win..

being a ravens fan i hate the steelers but i also hate the pats due to.. personall stuff..
and sadly i need to root for the steelers this weekend

die pats die!

[mr_russy]

Well Eagles are going to Jacksonville. Now come on Pats

[kleph]

the pats are looking pretty fucking invincible right now boys.

[mr_russy]

I think the nerves are getting to the rookie, whereas Brady is playing awesome.

[arelius19]

i think it wont be such a blowout in the 2nd half but i really doubt they can make up such a big lead

[T-WRX]

yea....blowout

Pats by a country mile is my pic in Jax over the Eagles. :flame:

[Chido]

go wimpy seahawks oh wait, they lost for the 3rd time agian... Go NE and eagles, not sure who will win it though, but my bet is its NE and eagles in superbowl


w00t w00t, i was right :), and eagles are going to barely win the superbowl, if they lose its because someone got drunk the night before, cought by feds for pots use, and 2 peopel got hurt during the game if not, they jsuty suck

[Mr. Bungle]

Makes me sad that I am in Germany and can't watch the playoffs. Being from Buffalo, I am a Bills fan (but we won't go there).

Pats will win... again....

For those of you with the interest and time, Gregg Easterbrook writes an excellent weekly article about the previous week's games. Very high brow for football and a great waste of time at work.

easterbrook seems to have slipped a bit this year. the column has a lot of his old stuff regurgitated this year. which is fine for the newcomers but it really felt like a letdown for those of us who have following him awhile.

but, if you check out the column and find it interestin, again, my friends over at football outsiders (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/) can help. they run a comments thread on easterbrook's column each week (check under the Extra Points (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/articles.php) section).

Regardless if he slipped or not, it's still one of the best football articles out there. After he got booted from ESPN, didn't he get hosted by Football Outsiders?

Also, I don't know if anyone else is in Germany, but I have to find a place to watch the Super Bowl!!! Help me!

[kleph]

no. he wasn't booted from FO. they hosted his column between it's being kicked off ESPN Page 2 and his current gig with NFL.com.

[Mr. Bungle]

Never mentioned him getting booted by FO. Stupid Disney gave him the boot from ESPN.

I couldn't remember if it was FO or someone else who hosted him after that episode. I do recall Easterbrook having nothing but praise for FO and telling people to check them out (after he moved to NFL.com).

[metalgod]

it will be a close game 24-17 eagles!

[T-WRX]

blowjob......
