Gronk vs Seattle defence

Unstoppable force vs Immovable object

I think the world will implode when they meet

If second retirements don't count, then Jordan finished his career with only 3 titles.

Holy hell, cant believe we won in Denver. Not getting my hopes up, last time was ugly in NE

Superbowl is about 6 miles from where I live....seriously considering forking over the money to see NE vs Seattle (IMO). 2 bucket lists at once.......

Aren't tickets like thousands of bucks for the shit seats?

One QB can move and the other cannot.

Why does everyone think Seattle is such a lock? The D has looked good but they havent faced a good qb since like October/Novemberish? I think GB has a pretty good chance. Same with Pats if that ends up the SB.

Plus its a fucking over commercialized shit show. I'd go hang out outside if it was near me maybe. I looked at it in 2012 but I was like yeah, fuck that. I saw Ray's last dance at home in the wild card round, that was good enough and probably a better experience than sitting in the rafters of the superdome would have been.

They destroyed the same QB in week 1, when he was healthy. Granted, their running game is better now but unless Rodgers can really move around and uses all of the field effectively, it's not going to be close in my opinion.

I was giving you shit. I don't count it either.

Seattle's biggest obstacle to the Super Bowl was yesterday and falling for the trap game. Anyone who thinks any of the teams left stand any chance of beating them is delusional.

Green Bay stands zero chance of going into C-Link and winning that game. Aaron Rodgers still won't be healthy, that crowd will stop him from running the offense the way he likes and all Seattle is going to do is use the entire nation thinking they should have lost the Fail Mary game as bulletin board material (yes, Seattle is still butthurt that people think they should have lost that game).

Then come Super Bowl time, no coach in NFL history has been better at getting his team ready to go for prime-time games than Pete Carroll and you don't get any more prime time than the Super Bowl.

Sherman will be holding the Super Bowl trophy once again asking Brady if "he is mad, bro?"

*edit: For the record, I'm a 49ers fan.

His roommate is Olivia Munn.

Colts gonna get spanked. I think the Pats have shot vs the Seahawks, but it's a scary team. Chancellor may be the only guy in the world who can cover Gronk.

Why cover when Kam can just destroy him

Doesn't matter, Colts are a team of destiny.

Week one means jack shit. GB is leaps and bounds better now than they were in week 1 where they had one of the worst D's in the NFL. By your logic, GB would beat NE hands down in a Superbowl against them because they beat NE earlier this year. Yes GB is at a disadvantage because of Rodgers injury, but they also just beat Dallas and Detroit with Rodgers injury. And GB has always played better and harder in "underdog" situations. GB's downfall is usually overconfidence in games like Bucs. There are 4 teams left and all 4 stand pretty solid chances at this point, and to discount (double-check) GB would be idiotic at this point. I do hope that Seattle underestimates GB though.

I predict NE-GB XLIX. Sure as shit hope it's not Seattle/NE though as I couldn't think of a gayer/more boring game where I hate both teams equally. At that point I'd probably only watch to hopefully see Brady, Belichick, Sherman, and Russell all kill each other and Gronk t-bag their bodies Halo style.
