Super Bowl XLVIII Thread

[Inqui]

That game is a thing of beauty. That's about as close to a perfect defensive game as you can ever get, and it happened in a super bowl no less.

Yeah, and Joe put on a similar masterclass last year.

 

I forgot how early Jim Harbaugh's ballistics started.

[Pats]

I can't wait for the superbowl half time show yet again

[T3hRaven]

We're about an hour away, right?

We're about an hour away, right?

 

Yep 6:30, meaning one more hour of blabbing away by the media.

I've never watched all of the pregame network stuff before.  I learned why today.

Lotta orange in the stands.... reminds me of 2000 and the whole audience was made up of giants fans

[Inqui]

One good thing about this lengthy build-up. This pretty good Sportscenter ad.

I hope a similar defensive masterclass gets put on. Wasn't Kerry Collins really hyped-up too? I know Peyton and his receivers are better and all, but.

Trey Wingo: "As Trent Dilfer will tell you, there's no defence for a perfect throw."

 

What would Trent know about a perfect throw? O_o

 

At least with the American broadcast I'd say there's more variety going on.

Ill have to check this but i think collins had just set the record for offensive yards made in a championship game in the nfccg. He then proceeded to feed our defense the ball like seymore feeding that plant in little shop of horrors.

You could make a drinking game out of this pre-game coverage. Every time someone calls the Broncos a team of destiny, or uses a cliche similar to the "unstoppable force hitting an immovable object".

 

The tenure of the Ravens being the reigning champions is coming to an end. At least it was fun while it lasted.

[Ravenseconbeast]

I see broncos winning this

ill drink to the last paragraph.... heavily.

And here's a toast to the next one we lift..... lets make it less than 12 years this time,fellas!

[SecretAgentMan]

Go Broncos....

I think we will. Ozzie and Steve seem to have a good team-building plan this time around. I might bust out my SB Champs "executive" glass today.

 

Go Hawks!

[JO_75]

Can we please start the game. We know who the teams are, no need to introduce them.

From Ravens 247 FB Page:

View from the press box just moments before player introductions. Seahawks fans outnumber Broncos fans at about the same clip as Ravens fans outnumbered 49ers fans last year. More Richard Sherman jerseys than Peyton Manning jerseys.

[SecretAgentMan]

Kurt Russell....

[ratedr]

Fox has awful sports coverage. Last year with CBS was so much better. These team intros suck.

[T3hRaven]

I've got the Broncos tonight.  I'm not confident in the pick, but that's what I'm going with.

[SecretAgentMan]

Damn you and your puns Kurt!

[SecretAgentMan]

I've gotten the last 5 SBs right, I want Denver but I think it's going to be Seattle

[T3hRaven]

The Broncos would be better off if the dark blues were the home uniform, or if their uniform pants were orange or blue.  The white doesn't look good IMO.

[The Mom Gene]

OK boys and girls....  let's keep it within the lines tonight....  and have some fun too.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Gonna be a great game

[The Mom Gene]

They have played in the Orange jersey twice before....  Lost both times.

[ratedr]

Rooting for the Seahawks but I think Denver wins.

 

Sorry Sherman, love ya but it won't be a good night for you.

[JO_75]

Let's take forever to sing the National Anthem, good job whoever you are.

[Inqui]

Did that anthem singer miss a line or was that just me?

[MissK528]

Let's take forever to sing the National Anthem, good job whoever you are.

 

So glad I'm not the only person without a clue as to who this lady is.
