Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

For those looking for a new team to be featured or root for this isn't the superbowl for you. But there are stories to be found in this one. Two successful teams of the last two decades who finally moved on from their franchise-defining and aging coaches and QBs. One team went with a young QB while another found success with a veteran journeyman. The team with the young QB find themselves in a familiar situation from 2 decades ago - a 2nd chance coach with a 2nd year QB who ends up unexpectedly in the superbowl. And won. Can the lightening strike twice for this franchise?

Then there's the story of that veteran journeyman. A former high 1st round pick who was written off as washed. That he was seeing ghosts. Moving from team to team, his value being seen as adding another voice in the QB room and emergency backup. An unfortunate injury brought him an opportunity to start again late in his career and found success. Perhaps he's found a home, only to find himself packing again at the end of the season for yet another city. This next stop surpassed everyone's expectations as he reaches the superbowl. Will winning complete his redemption arc? Or is getting there enough for his story.

His new team has its own baggage. Of ghosts on the one yard line. And a familiar foe. will they slay their ghosts together. Or will those dark spirits triumph again come sunday evening.

There's that what-could-be-crucial turnover.

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Y'know, 12 isn't a lot of points with still a quarter and a third left.

Fuck NBC for running ICE ads. Turned it off right there and I'd encourage anyone who isn't a piece of shit to do the same.

At least they took a shot into the end zone.

Is it just me, or do all the commercials suck? That Levi's one is the only one worth noting so far...

I'm... umm... not sure Cupp had that with both feet in bounds.

So, what do they do with the cannons of Patriots confetti that won't be going off?

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Presumably the confetti can just be sent back to wherever it came from. The Patriots Super Bowl Champions gear (hats, shirts, etc) is apparently donated and winds up going to international charities. Winds up in Africa and similarly far away places.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

I think the entire defensive line of Seahawks should get MVP.

That should put a fork in it

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think that foot might have just kicked the Hawks into a Super Bowl win.

Well, Maye is showing his inability to hold on to the ball yet again

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 points 5 days ago

Hey, only 99 yards to go for the Patriots. Against the Seahawks D. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] dhork@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They are if Seattle can get a few first downs and run down the clock

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Of course Diggs is in the middle of any BS.
