Superbowl Prediction thread POST your WINNER and SCORE here.

[EzraTank]

I think everyone is overlooking the Eagles. I said way back at the end of October that the Eagles were going to make the Superbowl and win it. That was before Wentz went down. If Wentz was healthy this game would be a blowout by the Eagles, but I still think it will be. They are getting no respect and I'm originally from Philly so almost all my friends are Eagles fans. I've watched a lot of their games this year and their defense is for real. I think their front four get pressure on Brady, stop the run, and their corners/safeties cover Gronk & company. Gronk will still get his "push-off" catches but they will shut him down forcing Brady to throw to other receivers.

I see the Eagles starting out slow and then win going away 34-17.

[st33lersguy]

One of the most insufferable fanbases in all of sports will have this Super Bowl win to rub into everyone else's faces and become even more insufferable than they already are :ranger: (hint: that's guaranteed to happen regardless of who wins)

[Fire Goodell]

The Patriots are not gonna be denied, they won't lose unless they're playing against a Manning (The only players the refs love more than Brady)

At least this is the attitude I'm taking towards it cause any time I'm optimistic NE will lose, they don't. So fuck it. Either way I'm not watching.

Pats win 27-24, last second field goal yada yada.

The only thing I disagree with is the Wentz part. It’s crazy, but Foles has been just as good (with the Eagles):

-better W-L record.
-better TD-INT ratio
-better completion percentage
-higher passer rating

But, I am splitting hairs... Eagles win by 17. :nod:

I have turned off Super Bowl games before but have never missed one completely until tomorrow

The Steelers were a bright spot in what was a crappy NFL season and then the Steelers season fell apart after Thanksgiving

I will be rooting for the meteor.

We will have the game on at work and are having munchies along with ordering in pizza.

Someone asked me if I would bring in cupcakes. I didn't have time to bake any (and just didn't feel like it, damn it! :lol:), so I was going to take the easy way out and buy them. Not a Patriots or Eagles decorated cupcake in any store where I live in western PA. Yeah, baby! That's how we roll and I'm damn proud of it. :) So, I purchased the prettiest cupcakes. :chuckle:

The lesser of the two evils for me are the Eagles, but the Patriots are just so damn lucky (and have the refs in their pockets), so we shall see.

This catch rule is bullshit. Clements TD shouldn’t have been a TD if James’ TD wasn’t a TD and Ertz’ TD shouldn’t have been a TD if James’ TD wasn’t. Fucking bullshit. Fucking BULLSHIT.
While they did call numerous catches similar to Outlaw's as catches since then (which is why I think they kinda changed how they call those plays since Outlaw's catch)... I'd have to watch Clements again, but Ertz was clearly a catch, then he took a couple of steps, making him a runner.

But I do agree that the rule should be changed, that it is a catch if the receiver has control over the ball at any point (a firm grip in his hands), of course in bounds, and he is a runner afterwards, no matter what. While that may change some of the incomplete passes of today into fumbles, it is correct then. Because it's called a CATCH and not a "catch the ball and keep it for some time". It's obviously ridiculous that whether the receiver caught the ball depends not on whether he controls the ball (thus catching it) but on things like making a football move.


BTW - Dolphins really showed Ajayi...lol.

I think Clements was a catch. He caught it his left foot hit, then his right, he switched hands on the way to the ground and his left foot out of bounds but he controlled it through the ground.

Actually, no. James's momentum was taking him to the ground while he was making the catch. He most definitely was not a runner. Ertz's momentum was forward and he would have stayed up had he not been tackled, so he was a runner who only had to break the plane. Big difference.

Yeah, the dude caught it on the 6-yard line, took like 4 steps and then dived. Still, I was sure they were going to overturn it. And so was Collinsworth, that useless cocksucker.

Since Foles has a weird ass contract that basically guarantees he'll be traded (contract automatically voided if he's on the Eagles roster at start of 2019 league year, but not another team's), it seems as if they'll keep him as insurance next year and trade him in the offseason. They'll get a king's ransom for him, too.

I don't see him going anywhere this offseason; they may very well need him for part or all of next year depending on how the Wentz injury plays out.

Basically they are in the best possible position with QBs though.

No you dork, taking the timeout right before the 2 minute warning is actually the right way to do it. At least as far as pure time management is concerned.

Take it, play #1 starts at 2:03, play #2 starts at 2:00, and then the clock runs. Don't take it, play #1 starts at 2:00, play #2 starts at 1:55 or so, and then the clock runs. It basically saves you the motion time of one play, you don't lose 30 seconds.

Now what really would've been a coaching masterpiece was if the Eagles had run a surprise passing play at 2:03 since the 2-minute warning was coming no matter what. That was a free chance to put the game away but instead they ran it. Also the risk of taking the timeout at 2:03, which I would say probably is more important in the overall scheme of things than 5 seconds or so if your opponent thinks fast enough to do it.

I have to say that tonight's game was probably the best Super Bowl game I have watched in a long time. It was a good game, and I'm so happy the Patriots LOST!

I would just like to add that Pennsylvania now has a total of 7 Lombardi Trophies. I just wish it was our beloved Steelers who won their 7th.

I'm totally not surprised Philly is a hot mess right now. Show a little class. Geesh.

Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady’s wife, turned the New England Patriots’ 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday in Super Bowl LII into a teaching moment for their children — two of whom were crying after the game....

“Sometimes you have to let other people win,’’ she said. “…We have to share. Sharing is caring.’’...

Then along came Rob Gronkowski, and Bündchen waved over the Patriots’ all-pro tight end.

“Guys, this is Gronk!’’ Bündchen exclaimed, stretching her arm around the three children for Gronkowski to get a good look. “You see, Gronk!”

The children’s sad faces lifted briefly as Bündchen told Gronkowski about the wisdom she had imparted to them about losing the Super Bowl.

If be on the phone to the Rams today looking to trade for Nick Foles. He'd be an instant upgrade to the back up QB and he's only going to cost about $1.7M.

Wouldn't have been a bad idea had the Steelers traded for Foles as a backup option instead of Jones...Super Bowl LII just verified...all the more reason to pay up for an experienced veteran QB as a back up.

Collinsworth made a point to mention that the Steelers 6 Lombardi’s took 34 seasons... but, the Taperiots did it in only 16 seasons, which is like a “super dynasty”.

Firts of all, the Taperiots only have 5 Lombardi’s (although I’m sure that Collinsworth still thinks that Brady will make a comeback against the Eagles).

Secondly, the Taperiots’ 5 Lombardi’s in 15 seasons is actually not as good as some the 49ers (5 Lombardis in 13 seasons).

But, yeah...

He kept trying to make it sound like Ertz touchdown had a chance to be overturned. Ertz caught the ball between the 5 and 6 yard line. He took at least 3 full strides after cleanly catching the ball and then launched himself into the end zone. Collinsworth knows that what Ertz did was the very definition of a football move after the catch, but decided he really had to make the case for the Pats as he kept talking about the ball moving or hitting the ground when he crossed the goal line. Is it just for added drama? I don't know, but he was drooling all over Brady and the entire Patriot team with his comments all game.

For the life of me, I don't understand why nearly everyone in the media goes out of their way to kiss the ass of that team. It's sickening.

With no losses, either.

I would also argue that winning the most championships over 34 years means you were actually good more than once with different players and coaches, which is more impressive from a "best franchise" standpoint than just the same guys exploiting the same thing for a single stretch. I'd say the Cowboys and Giants would be above them for that too. Probably even the Packers.

For that matter, if the LA Clippers ran off four or five championships between now and 2034, nobody would be talking about them as the most dominant franchise in the history of the NBA. Think about how idiotic that sounds. But that's literally the exact same thing Collinsworth was talking about.

No surprise Super Bowl ratings down even with the high profile Pats back defending their championship - presumably would have been even worse if a small market low profile team like the Jags had played

An exciting upset victory in Super Bowl LII could not prevent NBC's telecast of Sunday's game from dropping for the third straight year and hitting a nine-year low.

An audience of 103.4 million TV viewers watched the Philadelphia Eagles win their first Super Bowl ever with their 41-33 victory over the favored New England Patriots, according to Nielsen, a 7% decline from last year for TV's biggest annual event....

The TV audience is the smallest since 2009 when 98.7 million watched Super Bowl XLIII on NBC. The year-to-year decline is not as steep as the nearly 10% drop the NFL experienced during the regular season. But the 7% decline is likely to cause some concern for the league and its television partners (http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-super-bowl-ratings-20180129-story.html)....

The loss of viewers — which was only 3% in the big city markets measured by Nielsen — indicates that the NFL's troubles are more significant in the country's heartland.

http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-super-bowl-ratings-20180205-story.html

Hard to see how the NFL explains this away as anything other than a declining ratings trend over multiple years, which started before the anthem became a political kickball.

With people able to stream entertainment on demand, the NFL is not capturing the viewers that used to watch the SB because there was no other option. Most broadcast and basic cable stations don't really air anything significant against the game and basically cede the evening. Now with Netflix, Hulu, etc non-sports fan viewers can watch something else and are not held hostage by the NFL being the best option. I suspect that is a measurable portion of your 3%-7%.

I agree streaming as an alternative viewing option is part of it but based upon my guess streaming is more likely to be utilized in younger/more affluent big city markets, where the audience drop off was only 3%, than audiences in what is described as “the heartland” where the drop off was greater, there presumably are some other factors that the NFL knows about or, even worse for the NFL, may be clueless about and not even know how to respond.

Good point. I guess I could look into how they defined the heartland, but I'm guessing everything that is not the coasts and a handful of big cities sprinkled throughout the vast middle of the country. So that encompasses almost everyone I know and they all have a consistent usage of streaming media content. I don't think Netflix is just for youngsters on the coasts and the heartland isn't just full of old folks that have no idea what the internet is.

Amazing thing is a "down" SB was still the 10th highest watched broadcast ever!

[fansince'76]

At least their defense protected the late 4th quarter lead, unlike Pittsburgh's defense, and it's not like Keith Butler knows how to stop the Cheats

Still doesn't change the fact that if Ertz's catch (or, for that matter, Clement's) would have been ruled like James' was the Eagles probably lose.

Speaking of which, think shitty and inconsistent-as-hell officiating might have something to do with the down ratings? For instance, Collinsworth mentioned (when he wasn't swallowing Brady) that the Patriots' offense had their FIRST penalty of the postseason on a false start last night. Yeah, OK...

[AtlantaDan]

At least their defense protected the late 4th quarter lead, unlike Pittsburgh's defense, and it's not like Keith Butler knows how to stop the Cheats

Agreed that at least they won is the ultimate rebuttal. :drink:

But protecting the lead by first giving up the 10 point halftime lead because the Pats scored 3 TDs
on their first 3 second half possessions as part of not punting all night and then having the game end on a midfield Hail Mary on a drive that started at the Pats 7 with a minute left and no timeouts is not anything that would get a D-coordinator a promotion (unless you are Matt Patricia :chuckle: )

Eagles got one crucial stop and that was enough - Steelers forced several punts and a turnover against Brady and it wasn’t enough. If Sean Davis holds on to the interception at the start of the Pats game winning drive at Heinz Butler is a genius

It is a game of skill but sometimes random luck and however Al Riveron is feeling at the time ends up being the difference between closely matched teams

Even with the James overturned TD, the Steelers still had 2 chances to win the game and still would have won were it not for the trainwreck that was the ensuing 2 plays (which is the fault of the coaching staff, particular Todd Haley, not the refs).

There is this Bitch Pigeon fan like perception that the Steelers in week 15 did enough to win, but were unfortunate victims of the NFL and Gotohell. The cold hard truth is that had they played well in crunch time when it mattered most, and had the coaching staff not suffered a collective brainfart when it mattered most, the Steelers never need a Jesse James TD, or at the very least they would have overcome the Jesse James overturn with a TD in the next two plays, two plays in which the Steelers instead chose to imitate a comedy act

Both teams held 5 point leads with less than 3 minutes to go. While the Steelers promptly let the Patriots drive down the field with ease, the Eagles force and recover a fumble and put the offense in a position where they run off 1 minute and add 3 points to their lead. And surrendering 27 points and a 4th quarter lead is nothing to be proud of.
And if we want to talk about postseason, in Butler's only postseason game against Brady as DC, he did surrender more points than the Eagles did last night and that was with the Pats coasting the final quarter
