With all due respect, to the fans of the Patriots and Seahawks, this is the least anticipated Superbowl that I can remember. Both of these franchises have won titles in approximately the last twelve years. The Patriots having won three. These are far from starving fanbases. Let someone else have a seat at the table. You selfish douche bags!
A strong contributing factor to the lack of excitement for this Superbowl, is the fact that a lot of people, your boy included, do not necessarily feel that either of these teams are all that deserving of winning a championship. This was a notable down year for the NFL, in terms of there not being a lot of good teams. It did lead to a lot of exciting games. Teams were very evenly matched. The number of games that came down to the wire felt unprecedented.
To an sports obssesed individual like myself, the lack of a truly great team is making this season feel a little empty. I am well aware that this is a personal problem and I am working on it.
For the record, I think either team that played in last year’s Superbowl, the Chiefs and the Eagles, would wipe the floor with the Patriots or Seahawks.
Time to take my guns out of the holsters and fully go after the worst team to make the Superbowl the last twenty years, the New England Patriots.
If you watched their postseason games, this team looked like they were playing against teams with blind quarterbacks. CJ Stroud and poor old Jarret Stidham threw pass after pass directly into Patriots defender’s arms, with reckless abandon. It was truly sickening to watch. Any teams besides the Panthers in the NFC would have also beaten all of the Patriots opponents.
All that being said, I am a strong believer that you play who you play. The Patriots could not control the mass amount of suckiness. They saw the opportunity and seized it. They do deserve some credit. Puke.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are going to regret not taking advantage of this historically weak field, until the end of time.
A fact that is not talked about enough, is the Seahawks easy playoff schedule on the way to the Super Bowl. They dismantled the injury cursed 49ers in their first home game. Then they barely squeezed out a win against the aging Rams in their second game.
To be clear, the Rams were far superior to any opponent that the Patriots played. This fact, coupled with the fact that they earned their two home games by having the best record in the entire league, are causing a lot of people to give the Seahawks a free pass. Not me!
The Seahawks have consistently been favored by 4-5 points, since the gambling lines were first announced. That line feels a tad high to me. I will most likely be placing some cold hard cash on the Patriots to cover in this contest.
I really hope that the Seahawks win. My god do I hope they win. If you have the misfortune of knowing any Patriots fans, they are UNBEARABLE. My cousin actually played for the Patriots in the 80’s. I still hate their guts. Boo the cheaters.
Not to jynx it, but I do think there is a strong chance that this game mirrors the Seahawks previous Super Bowl title. If you forgot, they had a dominating defense, and absolutely manhandled the Denver Broncos. I don’t think it will happen, but a thirty point blowout is on the table.
The best storyline of the week is the redemtion arc for Seahawks quarterback, Sam Darnold. Darnold has received so much scrutiny throughout his career. Your boy needs to put his hand up as Darnold’s heaviest scrutinizer.
To be fair, he was cast aside by numerous franchises. He also has had a tendency to play terrible in meaningful games. However, to his credit, Mr. Darnold was able to put aside all of the negative noise surrounding him and play incredibly well in the NFC championship game. If he can pull it off once again, and win the whole damn thing, he will forever cement his legacy as this generation’s Kurt Warner.
A bientot!
