Hawks vs. Colts in the Super Bowl

[itjclarke]

Hawks (going against my heart on this one, so want the Pack to win)
Pats

[Piratedogcardshows]

Packers
Colts

[Runscott]

Thanks! Packers and Colts

Peter - even if Bryant's catch stood, odds are that Rodgers would have driven the field for a touchdown or, at least a field goal to force ot, assuming Dallas converted 2.

It has been a deluge in Seattle so far. I am soaked and not even to the stadium yet.

If I'm going to make up points, I need to go against the favorites.

My picks are Packers and Colts (although I really think it will be Seahawks and Colts).

Good luck to all!

Samsung galaxy wont load pics. Just as well.

Here you go

[gregr2]

LOL Nice!

[freakhappy]

Sweet! Thanks Chris and Scott...it feels more realistic when you can see pics like that. Plus you see angles you otherwise wouldn't on tv.

Alice in Chains - more asses

Did they resurrect Layne Staley?? Can't imagine Chains without his voice.

Gotta admit, all these pics, especially that damn "12" building are giving me flashbacks to last year. I was sitting down low and in the corner of the end zone Sherman made that tip (on a first down with 3 open receivers!!!). Still haven't fully gotten over that one, but am happy to see what Pack have been able to pull so far today.

That said, Seattle has a tendency to make magic happen in that stadium, so it's not over by any means.

Alice in Chains singer is excellent. Sounds like Layne Staley on the old stuff and pretty good himself on the newer stuff (and he's not a heroin addict).
Green Bay fans should be embarrassed by their team's play. Game should have been over in the first quarter. I can't stand the Seahawks but give them credit, they have more heart than that suckfest called the Packers.

I disagree. The Packers dominated the game for over three and a half quarters. The defense didn't give up any points until about 3 minutes left in the game. After that, everything went Seattle's way - the onside kick (that should have been recovered by GB), the 2 point conversion (I'm still shaking my head on that one) and then the coin toss - Seattle got all the lucky breaks within the last three minutes.

If the GB fans are to be embarrassed, it should be because of the coaching, not the players. GB had the ball 4th and Goal on the Seattle one yard line TWICE in the first quarter and they should have gone for it - especially on the road against Seattle. Instead, they elected for field goals. When GB got the 4th interception, they had great field position (GB 43 yard line). At that point, instead of playing to win, they were playing not to lose. Poor play calling - run, run, run, punt. They should have shoved the ball down Seattle's throat instead of playing it so conservatively.

I hear what you're saying, David...but that was a big time embarrassing loss by the Packers. I'm not saying fans should hide or anything, but that is an epic loss...blame the coaches, players, whoever you want, but that's unacceptable. Completely shut down the Seahawks for almost the whole game and all of a sudden they meltdown and give up an onside kick, a miracle two point conversion (which ultimately cost them the game) and eventually the td drive in overtime. Kudos to the Packers for being nine point underdogs and coming out and looking like the better team, but no excuse for losing after that start.

As far as the early decisions...kicking the fgs. I think they were the right calls. If you get a chance to put up points, you do so. You are facing the best goal line team in the NFL. If they run it again, they aren't getting in against that defense. So most likely they would have had to throw it...just low percentage imo. The Packers didn't lose because of those decisions, it was the meltdown in the last three minutes of the game that did them in. When the announcers started talking that it was four down territory on that first drive, I was in disbelief...this was the first drive of the game...get points when you can. Anyway...great game and the Super Bowl should be just as good!

[freakhappy]

Chris....that last pic is awesome! Thanks again Chris and Scott for sharing your experience with us

[atx840]

Was an intense last few minutes. Wow.

Looking at your point total, like me, you made a lot of mistakes. I am turning over my king.

[itjclarke]

Pats, and the pride of San Mateo County- Tommy Brady... and Julian Edelman (love that guy) take it home.

[vintagetoppsguy]

Please include the point total (total combined score) of the Super Bowl along with your pick. This will be used in the event of a tie breaker.

[itjclarke]

Pats 28- Seahawks 14

ADDING: my head says the Hawks take this, but I'm rooting for the Pats and sticking with my pick.

[freakhappy]

The leader has spoken!!! What's up, Ian?

Beautiful Championship games...I'm torn who I want to win. Both teams are animals and I'll be happy with whoever wins.

[freakhappy]

Seattle 27
New England 20

Total 47

Defending my title is next to impossible.

New England 73
Seattle 46

Tom Brady will fill the air with deflated footballs and Seattle's tackle Gilliam will score 4 touchdowns on passes from punter Ryan in addition to 6 field goals, all from inside the 10 yard line.
