New England Patriots: Knocking on Seven's Door (Now with Happy Endings) - Page 299 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yeah at first I wanted the Pats to blow out the Seahawks to just ease the pain of that game because it would mean that probably the Packers would have probably lost. Now I'm coming around to the idea that it would be better if the Seahawks won meaning that McCarthey blew a Super Bowl. A blowout by the Seahawks would really emphasize that.

However, trying to be objective, I think the Patriots will win this game, I think the Pats stand a good chance of doing a lot of damage with Blount and shutting down the Seahawks offense. Brady should play well in this game, Wilson I thought was exposed in the NFC championship game. Seattle WRs not that good.

Wilson running the read option 60 times and throwing 4-6 deep balls off play action scares me a little.

I have this weird feeling that BB blows everyones mind and just runs zone coverage all game instead of the customary man to man, just for those ^^^ reasons. I know it seems like its going against our strengths but I think BB might be more concerned about RW running the read option then beating us passing the ball. I think BB might have more confidence in this type of scheme then the avg fan would.

My Super Bowl party will be 2 legit fans coming over, a massive cut of meat, and awesome beers. Can't imagine watching it in a loud place with music playing etc.

I'm guessing that Kraft's neck is not as much at risk as Goodell's. My guess is that Kraft doesn't take this risk unless he has something on Goodell that trumps underinflated footballs.

Just bought a 55" UHD curved TV, which will be delivered by the end of the week.

I'm thinking way better than live.

Is the Super Bowl being broadcast in UHD? I was always shocked that the Super Bowl was never broadcast in 3D.

I don't know of much yet that's up to UHD (2160pi?), but at least I'll get full 1080 pi out of Verizon, my normal HD TV now only gives me 720.

From what I've seen fro in-store displays, the curve mimics a 3D image.

Hey Traids since I know you are lurking, see what Revis is experiencing this week? Listen to him at media day? Notice how it's all part of that game that the Jets never ever are going to play in because they're loser Jets? Yeah that's why he's never going back there.

Matt Light on WEEI yesterday. Two great quotes (I'll be as close as I can)

On what he loved about football: "I got to get violent and beat on people and not go to jail."

On the haters calling the Pats cheaters: "I say let's line 'em up and have an old fashioned fist fight."

Love how Salva completely disappeared after it was obvious nothing bad would happen. Really hope he stays gone until our first loss next season.

Cant really recover from advocating snap firing BB. If he has an ounce of self respect he wont return, but he will.

FWIW - if Kraft is involved in the firing of anybody from this incident, that somebody will be Roger Goodell.

I expected the deflategate overreaction from haters, and i guess also the media....but the Pats fans who overreacted im just disappointed in. I should expect that crap from Salva, but more importantly ive got some Facebook friends who made posts I assume they regret now.

I don't remember hearing of Ernie Adams before today.

Boston Globe: Mysterious Ernie Adams is Patriots' man behind the curtain

New York Post: Meet the 'black ops' guy behind the Patriots' success

Report from Glenzero

Stub hub tickets were $8,800 on Friday but only $7,500 Sat night. I might buy in by overtime.

Pats are making a good showing but I think the Hawks have a majority.

Hawks jerseys are a lot looser preflop, Pats won't fold any piece of the flop.

The Valley of the Sun had 24 hours of rain and today awoke to grey out fog. I've told five Lynches so it's not rainy in Seattle, the clouds just follow you around.
