SB53: Pats vs. Rams Buildup
- Thread starter RedOctober3829

If they only could have gotten Reggie Jackson, Reggie Sanders, Reggie Ruckers and Reggie Watts instead of the other 4 guys the Pats would have had a clean sweep.
By the way, while researching this reply, I found out that being an athlete named "Reggie" is bad for longevity, thanks to Lewis, Roby, Rogers and White
Not to go all Ben Roethlisberger, but he wears #9 in honor of whom?I think I know who Brees is rooting for in the Super Bowl (this was at today’s game)
Still, he may root for his conference team, team that eliminated him, kind of traditional things to do.

The Red Sox hat is an indication that he's cheering for the Pats. He's the franchise guy for another team so won't outright wear a Patriots hat. (h/t reddit for pointing this out).
Will Blackmon must be rooting for John Johnson like too many BC Eagles fans were for Matty Ice. Hate it.
David Andrews wearing a Braves hat urges Patriot fans to “take over Atlanta and show them what a real fan base is down there”. Lol.
The article on the send-off rally here in Los Angeles was relegated to page three of the local Sunday paper. Generously call it three paragraphs long. You really would have no clue this city is in the Super Bowl. It's a Dodger and Laker town. Kings have their narrow, dedicated following but that's it. USC owns football.
NFL Network is doing 30 minute recaps of past Super Bowls. They just did the one with Carolina.
That game was AWESOME. I forgot a lot of that, but specifically I forgot that almost backbreaking 85 yard TD catch. It was just blocked from my mind. That Brady INT at the goalline reminded me of KC last week.
Mistakes were made.

That long TD to Muhammad came right at me. It was such a weird feeling cause that team hadn’t trailed in a game for like a million straight days.
I have ESPN on my side TV and they are doing the skills competition for wide receivers.
Adam Thielen might have the best hands in the game. He made that thing look so easy, it looked like CGI.

Yep me too, I was in that end zone. I remember they flashed the graphic that the Pats hadn't trailed in a game... since the game in Houston back in November, which I was also at. So I felt a calmness.
I’ve been thinking that this week. Thankfully Brady got his usual brain dead SB INT out of the way a game early this year.
Delhommme played the game of his life. And still lost. And it basically ended his career. That's like David Duval's career once Tiger came along. Duval's best wasn't good enough and it collapsed him.
Now I'm watching the Bears/Colts SB. Man, the Bears blew that game 40 different ways. Grossman was horrific. And the fumbles were a killer. And that is before Rexy threw like 47 interceptions in the 2nd half.
Peyton Manning won two Super Bowls and in just world, he would have won none. The 2015 Super Bowl win was a joke, of course, as that was 100% the defense. Alas.

His TD pass to Smith was incredible too.
But what is most amazing is that the game of his life happened after he started off 1-9 for 1 yard. Carolina's first 6 drives combined for 20 plays for -7 total yards, one first down (via penalty), 3 sacks (including a strip sack / turnover). The Pats D was demolishing that offense in a way I have never seen before. Then on a 3rd and 5 from their own 10 yardline, right before the 2 minute warning, Delhomme hit Ricky Proehl for 13 yards with a juggling catch, and the flip switched for Delhomme and the Panthers offense. After starting 1-9 for 1 yard, Delhomme finished 15-24 for 322 yards and 3 TDs. If Proehl hadn't made that catch, I wonder if the Pats blow that game wide open. They would have gotten the ball back in Carolina territory at the 2 minute warning up 7-0.
Great game though.
Yup. Just an amazing game and great atmosphere. The injuries to Harrison and Wilson really opened up things for Carolina’s offense.
The Pats safety situation at the end of the game was horrific. If that game went to OT and Carolina got the ball the Pats would have lost.
LMAO, I finished watching the one vs. The Eagles, SB 39, no interest in SB 40, so I switched over to MLBN and they're showing greatest comebacks (2004 of course). Just can't get away from shows about Boston/New England sports successes.
OK. I hope his support for the Pats makes the difference. Well, shouldn't be that close.
Funny but probably not for those who are trying to use it. About two hours ago I passed the Pats’ bus procession that was leaving Gillette. My daughter commented that the police procession on Route 1 was excessive. What was done in LA goes to an entirely new level of silliness.CHP stopped all traffic on the 405 so the rams could get to the airport.
“Ended his career” is a little harsh. Carolina made a few more playoff runs with Delhomme (even made a conference championship) before he self-destructed in the 2008 divisional against Arizona.
Now it's the 2nd Patriots/Giants Super Bowl on NFL network.
Aaron Hernandez catching TD passes. Man, that feels like about 47 years ago, not 7.

The game ending Hail Mary was so perfect, with two Patriots receivers right there for the deflection. Ugh.
The way it was filmed and shown during this broadcast was pretty impressive. That ball hung up for a long long time. Gronk was right there, but just one step slow to it.
Patriots plane is scheduled to land in 12 minutes.

At the Patriots' rally, Patrick Chung said, "We're gonna go out there and kick their ass, baby!" Then at the Rams' rally, Brandin Cooks told the crowd, "Hey Chung, we heard you talking that talk back there in Foxborough ... let's get straight," before dropping the mic on stage.

NFC being shut out in the pro bowl, in the 3rd quarter.
17 nothing, AFC leading. That's awesome.

That is awesome; so if the AFC holds on, we get home field advantage next week, right?
It was embarrassing. I've never been embarrassed for a player before, but that was just awful.
I believe that is the case. And if the NFC is shut down, the Rams only play with 10. Let's go Mahomes!
I look forward to a report on the 6:00PM news tonight as the opening story where some reporter I've never heard of interviews random fans leaving the rally he asks some female fan from Saugus "So what did you think of the rally!?!?" and she replies "It was awesome, Patriots all the way next week, WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!", all the while the Patriots hat and pink Brady jersey she bought in the pro shop earlier in the morning still have the price tags hanging off of them.
