Denver

Gmrson 01-20-2014 06:46 PM

Out of it, but still enjoying the thread :)

Denver 34-17

sam majors 01-20-2014 08:00 PM

Ending somewhere in the middle?
 
Denver by 10
I don't really care who wins. Just hope it's a good game that ends before early Monday morning.

talkinbaseball 01-20-2014 09:09 PM

this was fun
 
I'm going with Denver & the "Omaha" count.

For revenge sake, I pick Denver

... (though I really think given how closely contested Seattle makes every throw/route, I think several of Peyton's floaters may end up in the hands of Seattle's big and brash DBs).

Plus, if he escapes, as Kaepernick kept doing, he's got nothing to do. It could end up being a very low-scoring #1 offense.

Agree Scott, I just don't see that offense clicking against the Hawks (or Niners) like it has against the rest of the league.

Separately- I suspect your CenturyLink experience was much more enjoyable than mine!:eek: Can't wait for next year (or the next 4-5 for that matter) and hoping to have a healthy Bowman back by then.

Pythonfactory 01-21-2014 12:34 AM

Hawks!

peterose4hof 01-21-2014 10:03 AM

Fantastic job running this Frank! We really appreciate all your hard work!

I'll take Denver 27-23

drmondobueno 01-21-2014 10:23 AM

Seattle, 24-23. In a blinding snowstorm, the stadium runs out of beer as all the taps freeze. Meanwhile, the Pirates are getting ready for spring training..... Guess that says where my heart lies...

PM770 01-21-2014 11:12 AM

I'm 16 so out of contention, but I'll make a pick anyway:

Seattle 26-24

That was really horrible what happened to Bowman - I don't think they said anything during the game, but my brother texted it to me.

I think this rivalry will be around for a long time - neither owner is stupid enough (ala Jerry Jones) to get rid of coaches of this calibre. But to get these two teams matched up again in the title game, at CLink, takes a lot of things happening right. Glad we saw it when we did. I honestly hope you get to see the same game next year, but in San Francisco, as I'll never be able to afford to go again anyway :)

mybuddyinc 01-21-2014 01:26 PM

so not to be a "drop-out" :)


Denver - total points - 56*

btkpath 01-21-2014 09:36 PM

I will be attending the Super Bowl watching the "best defense" (Seahawks) beat the "best offense". Picked up my tickets yesterday!!!!:D

Will any other net54ers be attending the game?

frankbmd 01-22-2014 05:53 AM

An observation and my pick
 
Who are the "True Believers" in their Super Bowl team pick?

Seattle pickers for the big game have unanimously picked Seattle in all three games.

The same is not true of the Denver pickers, many of whom picked the Patriots last weekend.

Based on this early data, which is questionably meaningful, I think that on the basis of will alone, that Seattle will win the game. However, since I picked New Orleans to win in Seattle and since I am in the running for the Horse's Ass trophy, my pick for the Super Bowl is

DENVER - Go Seahawks

2dueces 01-22-2014 07:11 AM

After much inner debate

Denver 24 Seattle 14

38


No dog in this hunt. Just hope to see a great game to finish the season. Good luck to the 6 other finalists.

johnmh71 01-22-2014 04:13 PM

Seattle 24-21

mattsey9 01-22-2014 11:14 PM

Seattle 46 points

Go Hawks!

Post-game possibilities?

Amazingly, Erin Andrews had to endure a second straight tirade from a great NFL player, after Peyton Manning's stunning touchdown pass that won Superbowl XLVIII. Manning threw a perfect pass to the back of the end-zone, just over the fingertips of Richard Sherman, and into the hands of Wes Welker. Manning then ran up to Sherman and patted him on the butt. A few moments later, Andrews seemed relaxed as she approached Manning for an interview, but was still taken aback by his surprisingly passionate and somewhat violent tirade when she asked: "Peyton, can you take us through that last play?"

"I'll go to Welk EVERY time when he's got one-on-one, I don't care who the corner is. You put a mediocre corner on any of our receivers, that's the result you are going to get. I'm the best quarterback in the NFL and you just saw the result - game over. You don't talk about me or you see what happens."

"Who talked about you? uhh....never mind...John, back to you, and could you pass the mustard?"

ibuysportsephemera 01-27-2014 12:19 PM

My official pick is Denver to win but wouldn't mind if Seattle pulled it out.

Mike (18colt) 01-27-2014 12:19 PM

I'm out, but Broncos 26-16, just like the Denver/NE game.

EvilKing00 01-27-2014 04:08 PM

slipk1068 01-27-2014 04:12 PM

Just for fun Denver wins 31-20

pariah1107 01-27-2014 04:13 PM

Seattle Seahawks win!

Thank you very much. Another great net54 postseason contest.

GoldenAge50s 01-27-2014 04:15 PM

Denver 24-20

edjs 01-27-2014 05:13 PM

I guarantee it will be one of two possible teams win this game!

Seattle, 13-9

frankbmd 01-28-2014 09:52 AM

We have yet to hear from one of the seven contenders for the grand prize. That would be bn2cardz.

Following directions does not seem to be the forte of the board as the tie breaker point total applies or is required for only the top seven contenders.

Nevertheless numerous entrants have entered a score for the Super Bowl.
Wasted effort --- Perhaps not. If someone hits the exact outcome of the Super Bowl for both teams on the nose regardless of how many total points they have in the contest, perhaps I can wrestle another shirt out of Leon as a consolation prize. The trophy however will go to one of the seven leaders.

Your contest coordinator is always looking out for you.;)

Julz24 01-28-2014 09:28 PM

In that case:

Denver 17 Seattle 13.

Thanks for the contest! It was fun till I lost.

BleedinBlue 01-28-2014 09:58 PM

Mired in mediocrity
 
I'm just bad enough at this to have no shot at winning but too good at this to get the worst prize. Oh well. It will all be worth it if my pick comes through this week.

Broncos

And for fun the score will be 27-17

MyGuyTy 01-28-2014 11:36 PM

Just a prediction:

Hawks - 23
Donkeys - 20

freakhappy 01-28-2014 11:55 PM

Denver 27
Seattle 24

barrysloate 01-29-2014 04:30 AM

Despite the brutal winter we've been having, doesn't look like the weather will be much of a factor. Should be a great game.

pgellis 01-30-2014 07:22 AM

Seattle 23
Denver 21

insccollectibles 01-30-2014 10:29 AM

Drum Roll please...






DRUM ROLL PLEASE....



Anyone? Drum Roll? Come on!

Fine! You can lock me in with:

You can't. I've got Denver as well and you are a point ahead of me.:D:D:D

A reminder though ---- You cannot come in last unless you participate in all eleven games.

... just when the wounds were healing I'm reminded!!! The NFC Champ game was so brutal!! As tough as Matt Barr in 1991.

I officially picked Denver earlier in the thread (payback), but fully think Seattle will win. Their defense is amazing.. and think their DBs are big/strong/fast enough to beat up and keep up with Denvers WRs.

Pythonfactory 02-01-2014 05:32 PM

Seattle wins 20-17
