I'll gladly take a 1 point win.

So long as the Pats lose, I don't care how many it's by.

Don't forget to place your vCash wagers (on the game & prop bets)

This frigging sucks. I don't know if I want to watch this year. I think the Pats are going to destroy them and then we will have to endure the "greatest ever" being said over and over again about their legacy, Belichick, Brady, etc...

 

[BahamaFinFan78]

Mods, just for today, can we put this in the main Dolphins forum so it gets more "traction"?

 

[CA Dolfan]

I want the Patriots to lose so badly. I'm concerned the the Falcons center is playing with a broken fibula.

Then again, how sweet was "19-uh oh" :evilmod:


That turned out to be a pretty good day.

Reports yesterday were that he's fine. In fact, both teams injury reports are empty. (Lying about that brings the wrath of Goodell)

I haven't been this un-excited about a Super Bowl in a long time. NE doesn't blow people out in this game, but I have a feeling they kick Atlantas ass. Hope I'm wrong.

New England is going to win but maybe that means Brady and/or Belichek retires

 

[AZStryker]

I still can't believe Melty Ice is in the super bowl! I guess they finally managed to surround him with so much talent even he couldn't screw it up, well until today's loss.

I would love nothing more than for Atlanta to beat New England tonight. With that said, I doubt it happens. We have watched Bellichek and Brady for too long. They will want to take away Atlanta's weapons, but there are so many, they won't be able to take them all away. They will then just grind the clock out with long 7 to 8 minute drives with those quick 3 step drop passes for 3-4 yards each to nullify the pass rush and keep Atlanta's offense on the sideline. By the second half, Atlanta's D will be gassed because Atlanta's offense scores quickly allowing the Patriots to control the clock and Brady will take over from that point. Just my two cents, I have been trying to prepare these Falcon fans for what's coming, but they still believe they are smarter, faster, and better. Never underestimate the Hoodie. Two weeks is plenty of time to figure out Kyle Shanahan.

Security takes down drone flying over Falcons practice facility

HOUSTON — There was an uninvited guest at the Atlanta Falcons’ practice Thursday: a drone.

The Falcons have been preparing for the Super Bowl at Rice University’s practice field, which is next to a residential area.

They have extra security between the field, which is surrounded by a fence and tall hedges, and the neighborhood, but security officials said nevertheless one of those neighbors decided to fly a drone while the team practiced, according to NFL.com.

Security grounded the drone, and it was only a “brief security heads-up.”

Dont think Brady's leaving either way- he wants to play several more years, not sure what Belichek thoughts are. BB strikes me as the type one day will just find out he is retiring without the press being that tipped off on the decision.

Probably hired by the Pats. Sneaky, cheating bastards.
