disclaimer

[theeboredone]

trolololol

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Looks like they believe in Eli!

 

[Masmasher@]

the secret to winning the super bowl is hail mary passes

 

[theeboredone]

Trolololol

 

[Atlus8]

LOL! Packers suck!

 

[Virgilijus]

Guys, please make at least partially pertinent posts. 'Trololol' and things like it do not count.

 

[theeboredone]

Another bogus call. Roughing the passer? BS.

And come on, the Giants are trolling the Packers whenever I post those. Hail mary to end the half?

 

[Masmasher@]

WTF at that personal foul call

rodgers got hit but cmon

and when they look back on this
the receivers should facepalm

cmon giants

 

[theeboredone]

The receivers were dropping passes everywhere in the Super Bowl. Maybe they all are choke artists.

There is a difference between the posts:

'Man, Giants are just trolling the Pack with that hail mary at the end of the half XD'

and

'TROLOLOLOLOLOL'

Go with the former if that's what you're trying to convey.

I didn't do anything.

Again, look at the time of my post and the action on the field and it makes sense. I know this is not a live chat, but the timing is still there. But whatever. Moot point.

2 bad calls by the refs (fumble and roughing passer) = 14 points.

 

[frotaz37]

Looking more and more like the Superbowl will be Patriots vs. Giants

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Man, this was a terrible week for my fantasy team... No Ray Rice, Jordy Nelson, or Matt Prater... And then the Saints go and get eliminated @.@

 

[Virgilijus]

Don't want to derail the thread any more but last point: your posts have to be relevant. If I have to bust out my cape and pipe and sit for an hour in my living room, slowly deducing what your short, nonsensical post is actually referring to, then it's still spam. Just be clear in your post or at least refer to what your post is referencing.

 

[Atlus8]

Man, it doesn't feel like the Packers got outplayed to lose this badly! Giants just capitalize on the Packers mistakes!

 

[Jem.]

I predicted the Giants beating the Packers a week ago. Come to me if you're a betting man. Some people made bank betting on the Giants in Vegas I bet.

Giants - Patriots Superbowl, Giants win the Superbowl. They're on the freaky run of 2007 again.

What worries me about the 49ers is did they use all their emotion vs the Saints? Will they come out flat like the Broncos did after upsetting the Steelers? Does Vernon Davis have more tears to give out, or was that their Superbowl right there? I wouldn't be surprised if the 49ers won, but I'm just going to give the nod to the road warriors and that they won't turn it over five times.

Giants 24, 49ers 21. Patriots 30, Ravens 21. Giants Pats Superbowl.

 

[Orboknown]

EE must be soo mad right now. Giants ripped the pack. Rodgers is the only reason it was as close as it was.

 

[ZIO]

I am quite pleased with the Giants.

At least some of New York is still doing good this season.

I had a feeling it would be a close game, but that was just a bad game for the Packers.


The only thing I hate about this outcome is that the one team that looked like they could take on anyone will not be there and it almost looks like a free ride for the Pats, if you look at how the Ravens performed today.

Oh well. We shall see. I HOPE THE PATS LOSE NEXT WEEK >:(

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Ravens > Patriots
49'ers > Giants
49'ers > Ravens

Let's have ourselves a good ol' family battle.

 

[Orboknown]

Ravens over Pats
Gints over Niners
Gints edge out Ravens

 

[Reizilla]

49ers > Giants
Pats > Ravens


As much as I hate the Pats and really want the Niners to win, I have a hard time picking them in that match-up :/

 

[etecoon]

Pats > 49ers IMO

I wouldn't have confidence in picking this one way or the other if the super bowl were on a truly neutral field, but they like to have it in a dome or warm weather location almost every year so I'll take the pass happy offense over the dominant defense. GB lost that game more than the Giants won it in my eyes, I don't expect San Fran to do that and the Ravens only show up for home games this year...

Giants are the only team I really hate remaining but I could at least find some pleasure in them winning with Eli having one more ring than Peyton, always thought it was ridiculous that he was overshadowed because of his brothers regular season dominance when I see Eli performing better in the playoffs most of the time.

 

[theeboredone]

Heart says Niners all the way. Head says Pats beat Niners.

 

[Peeze]

Oh well. For whoever wins this one, the Super bowl is definitely going to be Ravens v Greenbay

i agree


Side notes: Saints are garbage away from home, they were bound to lose.
Brady is hungry like the wolf and wasn't planning on losing.
When Giants are hot i don't think anyone can beat them.

 

[Jem.]

Giants > Pats in Superbowl. I will be very devastated if the Superbowl is Alex Smith vs Joe Flacco.

 

[M@v]

Do I really have to pick between the Patriots and the Ravens for the AFC championship? This is a Steelers fan's worst nightmare.

Go NFC, I don't care which one.


The only reason I would root for the patriots is because their offensive coordinator is becoming Penn State's new head coach next season.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Man, you guys take this too seriously.

But what would I understand, I'm Asian.

Still pulling for that family brawl though.

 

[etecoon]

funny end to "the year of the quarterback", the troll bowl!

 

[theeboredone]

I'm surprised there aren't as many Niner fans as Cowboys, Pitt, and Packers. I mean, the 49ers have had a huge down time, but this team was competing from the 80s to early 2000s. So many HoF players, so many great moments...and yet it seems like SF is neglected by the media.

 

[Orboknown]

Out of sight out of mind.
If you aren't winning now why waste money covering them?
And now they are winning=coverage

 

[Reizilla]

Cowboys have had like one good season since their last superbowl and still get top coverage.

 

[Orboknown]

Its the bull**** America's team label i guess.
Plus Cowboys have longer winning history than SF i think

 

[theeboredone]

Wern't the Packers or Steelers voted higher in a poll for "America's Team?"

And SF has 5 SB titles I believe. Two of those being back to back.

 

[Orboknown]

Dallas has 4 or 5 as well.
the moniker came from a movie or commercial the DC's owner jumped on.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

NFC East. They won't stop covering it until it stops being a mess of dumb titles, dumb people, and dumb players.

 

[Reizilla]

I thought it was a former president that dubbed the Cowboys as "America's team." I could be wrong.

^the history of the name

49ers have stayed relatively healthy though overall. It'll be interesting if they lose now, if they can make it as far next year. We've seen how easy it is to do good and then the next year spiral out of control downwards. Obviously on paper "They are set up for success!" etc, but still.

Also, when you're battling with the Rams for the cellar of the NFC West for most of the last 7 years, that is why the 49ers aren't getting coverage. Just like people outside of Seattle probably didn't hear about the Seahawks much once Mike Holmgren left, but nothing has changed in the area here. Still selling out games even with the 4/5/7/7 win seasons, etc.
