And up in Foxboro a gale is moving into town. So weather could also be a factor.

GB/Atlanta will be 72 and with no sun.

By game time in NE the wind should only be around 12mph.

My heart wants Pitt and Green Bay, but my brain says my heart hasn't got anything right since meeting the Mrs thirty yrs ago.

 

[GA_Boater]

Angus - So far through the playoffs the home teams won, until last Sunday when Pitt and GB beat the favored home teams. There is still hope.

Go Pack Go

 

[WIMUSKY]

Looks like the Packers are done.......

 

[Volphin]

Yeah, the Pack is going to be Packing. We'll see the dirty birds and the 'riots in SB 51.

 

[GA_Boater]

The fondue is done.

 

[82rude]

How sweet it is.

 

[GA_Boater]

Brady and co. are cold.

Not anymore. Steelers are having a tough time.....

 

[WIMUSKY]

2 blowouts......Kinda unusual for conference championships......

Sarcasm posted as the first drive was steaming down the field. FG was the result, but since then - HOT.

NE vs Atlanta in Houston for SBLI. It should be a good game with Ryan and Brady.

 

[WIMUSKY]

I missed the 1st drive watching national news. The wife changed the channel after GBs game.........

Even tho my team is NFC, you know me, go Brady!

 

[RGrew176]

For me its Go Patriots. Should be a good Superbowl game.

I think I am going to root for the Falcons. They haven't won a Super Bowl yet.

 

[tpenfield]

Falcons were a surprise (to me) after all the talked about Aaron Rodger's performance of late.

I figured that my Patriots needed to play well to win . . . and they did. The flea-flicker was a great play.

Disagreed with Pitts decision to go long ball on 3rd and 1 on their opening drive. They were running the ball at will up to that point. Lost all momentum there and no points. Also getting stuffed at the goal line from 1st and goal at the 1 foot line didn't help. I think those 2 plays were difference makers. If they put points up on their opening drive momentum is now on their side and if they punch it in the end zone its a different game.

Steelers really need to figure out how to adjust to opponents strategies. Brady was picking apart their zone defense like he always does. Obviously what they have done hasn't worked so lets keep doing it?

I still feel strongly that their is a lack of discipline on that team and that starts with the head coach. How many penalties did AB have early in the year for touchdown dances? If Cowher was still there there would have been 1 penalty and that would have stopped. AB recording the locker room last week? Players suspended? I really hope Tomlin cracks down on these guys next year or we will have a repeat of this year.

Oh, and the middle of the night fire drill might not have hurt, but certainly didn't help and was ignorant at a minimum. Wouldn't surprise me eat all to find Belichek was behind that too.

When your team doesn't play well...blame Belichek! LOL

Belichek just out coaches the other coaches. Plain and simple.
