FU PATS!!! GO NOT-PATS!!!

Though it'd be nice if someone silenced B-Rex.

[a500lbgorilla]

I hope the Pats win, because no one wins when the Jets win.

And besides, crushing Brady in the AFC championship game is how it needs to be done.

[bigred]

I feel like I might want this win more than a super bowl win. I hate the jets so much

[Hawk]

Shitty game so far. Hass is playing pretty well, but the bears coverage is making every catch tough, and we aren't coming up with them.

For anyone who only saw us play last week and this week, this is exactly how our entire season has gone. Everything going right or everything going wrong. No middle ground.

So there's actually something to that whole 'loudest stadium in the NFL' thing?

Haven't been to any other stadiums to compare, but Cleveland Browns Stadium does not seem loud at all in the current incarnation of the browns.

I haven't seen games in any other stadiums either, but yeah, it's ridiculous how loud it gets. It's always very loud, then in big games it goes to a whole other level.

[Ragnar4]

Meh. I've been in Seattle when it's fired up. (The Seachickens came back from being down 17 points against the chiefs and won during the Dick Vermiel years) It's certainly loud, but not nearly as loud as I had expected.

In Old Mile High, if you weren't wearing ear protection during the game, you'd have hearing problems for the next week when that place went nuts.

[Hawk]

You must have caught us on an offweek. I do need wear earplugs because of it.

When we get going it's def louder than any rock show I've even been to.

About this week, at least it looks like we are at least making the score look respectable, and we aren't giving up. Considering the talent deficit we have vs all these other playoff teams, that's not too bad.

Even if we were to pull off the late miracle, I'm not sure we'd have enough healthy bodies to field a team next week

[bigred]

Still waiting for the Patriots to come out of the locker room. Who did they lend their jerseys to?

[Lukie]

pats were down 14-9 after a touchdown, pending a PAT, at the end of the 3rd.

finally a coach that understands that the common sense play of going for 2 there is also the right play.

[Lukie]

going to be tough coming back from 10 down with 13:00 to play

[a500lbgorilla]

And just when you think the Pats will start imposing their will, Cotchery sets up an amazing Holmes catch.

[lolzzz_321]

santonio holmes so clutch

[bigred]

brady couldn't be playing worse if he tried

[Lukie]

who says you can't throw the ball away in the pocket?

[a500lbgorilla]

Wow, ballsy not to fall on it.

[Lukie]

gg pats

[a500lbgorilla]

That's game.

edit A hope... a chance.

[Lukie]

wtf pats, go for 2

[a500lbgorilla]

woot, don't have to play the pats in the AFC championship game!

[Hawk]

I'm now rooting for GB to beat the Jets in the super bowl.

I'm soooo glad to see the pats lose. I thought they were going to take it all.

[drmcboy]

jets-pats had to be the silliest coached game of the year both ways

[Ragnar4]

one of my favorite things in the world is to go to the Patriots forum and just read the epic QQ after a big loss. This one is good.

Pats fans are just rabid about either being "the best, or the worst"

[fjuanl]

what an awesome catch by holmes. not a big jets fan but i have to root for them because LT deserves a ring

[bigred]

Adding fjuanl and hawkfan to the list...

*flexes mod muscles*

[bigred]

Also, Bart Scott is a thug. I hope bad things happen to him.

[bode]

TOM BRADY!!!! QQ

jets vs steelers, ugh

bears vs packers for nfc championship, pretty awesome.

i'm kind of rooting for murda's team in this one, but as long as the NFC wins i'll be happy (they won't)

bears d has done pretty well historically vs rodgers and the packers o, from what i can remember.

[bigred]

go packers imo

[a500lbgorilla]

ugh? I'm excited for the jets vs steelers game! It's one of the top match-ups I could ever ask for.

Also, I'd really like to see a Steelers Packers superbowl. Aaron Rodgers looks like a fun QB to play. I don't like watching Jay Cutler play football.

[ensign_lee]

It's too bad that hte Ravens and Steelers had to play each other. They always don't do so hot in the game after.

AMAZING gameplan by the JEts, even though I wish Green had knelt the ball once he had a first down instead of scoring that TD (for purely selfish reasons on my part).

[a500lbgorilla]

It's too bad that hte Ravens and Steelers had to play each other. They always don't do so hot in the game after.

huh?

This is certainly the first I've heard of this and we won the SB in '08 after beating the Ravens in the championship game.

So I'm gonna go ahead and say no.

[bigred]

Don't mess with Texas, Rilla. On top of that, don't miss with Asian Texans. You get a mega godzilla on your hands cause everything is bigger in Texas.

[ensign_lee]

There's a pretty successful betting system where you just fade Baltimore and Pittsburgh the game after they play each other because they beat each other up so much and expend so much energy and motivation in their game that they don't play as well the next game.

Of course, this is for the regular season. Playoffs might be a different matter. But might be rolling Jets either way.

[a500lbgorilla]

Well, since it's the playoffs and the Jets arguably came off a bigger motivation high in playing the Pats, I wouldn't use the Steelers fading as a betting strategy.

[ensign_lee]

yeah, unless it's the whole "beating each other up" factor that's the dominant factor.

[a500lbgorilla]

Maybe, I have the sense that this was one of the less hard-hitting in the last 8 Ravens Steelers games. But that could just be because I can't recall anyone being visibly annihilated.

[ensign_lee]

lol true enough. GO RILLA

[Trikflow77]

action?????????????

already down a shitload whats a little more

[a500lbgorilla]

lol true enough. GO RILLA

Thanks! I'll play as hard as I can on Sunday. That is to say, it sounds to me like you'll be going against my advice and taking the Jets +3 or 3.5.

In any case, it's only wednesday and this is quickly becoming the shortest week of all time.

[Ragnar4]

Steelers versus Jets? The game is afoot!

[Trikflow77]

Steelers versus Jets? The game is afoot!

I hate both teams so do not want to bet this game

will take action on other game, up to 5k depending on what u want.

[ensign_lee]

WTF is this shit? no chatter on Championship Sunday?

[boost]

I watched like half a game this season, but I think I may tune in for Bears Vs. Packers NFC championship.

[a500lbgorilla]

woot, that was an insane game to watch.

So Lee did you end up taking my advice?

[ensign_lee]

Yeah, I bet on Pittsburgh 2nd half and lost like $4.5k

Terrible day overall, down $11k.

[a500lbgorilla]

Sorry bout that. Yeah, that 2nd half slipped away from them a little bit.

I'm glad its Green Bay and Pittsburgh though. That's good football and I think it's a 50/50 game.

[bigspenda73]

[Roid_Rage]

Just a lil brotherly love, nothing to see here.

[kingnat]

Um... bump?

[Roid_Rage]

Superbowl.


Thread updated.

[Ash256]

The BBC is showing the Superbowl tonight! It'll be the second time I've ever watched American football.

I look forward to watching it confusedly, failing to actually understand what's going on then making multiple threads about how boring a sport it is

[Roid_Rage]

At the very least, you'll enjoy the commercials.

[drmcboy]

the commercials suck these days, i think it is the economy

but not as much as the black eyed peas, or the steelers, or steelers fans, so there's that.

RAPESGIRLSBURGER PREPS TO ADD TO HIS LEGEND

*EDIT: NVM

[Ragnar4]

Women in Dallas better watch the fuck out. Rapelessburger has some frustration to get out of his system.

[supa]

Damn.

[a500lbgorilla]

Wooo bringing the title back to title town! Great game to the Steelers but the Pack was on the attack WOOOOO!

[baudib]

Most forgettable performance of XLV:
A. Troy Polamalu
B. Fergie singing "Sweet Child O' Mine"

[Lukie]

awesome game

abominable half-time show

[Roid_Rage]

Yea I'm really surprised Hair Man didn't do more out there. :/ Steelers defense didn't do nearly enough this game.

Great game though, and FUCK YEA LIONS BEAT THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPS BOOM HEADSHOT

[lolzzz_321]

no lockout plz

[a500lbgorilla]

lockout required. Packers must be the first and final Superbowl champs.

[BennyLaRue]

Don't worry, guys. If there is a lockout, you can start watching the CFL.

Catch the fever!

[Ragnar4]

The average Super Bowl viewer with a DVR either paused, rewound or fast-forwarded 145 times during the game, TiVo said.

HOLY SHIT
