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.

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Either is going to be a Low scoring defensive battle or a blowout in seahawks favør.

I don't understand a word of the show, but it looks cool

I'm not exactly sure what that Dunkin commercial was, but it was awesome!

I'm kinda rooting for a no touchdown Super Bowl now!

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

.... Although I guess the Football Hall of Fame does look like a juicer.

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

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, I've already started freaking the fuck out.

This is one he'll of a storyline for the Hawks. Think about the last few weeks. Beat the Rams to take the lead in the division. Beat the Niners to clinch the #1 seed. Beat the shit out of the Niners again. Beat the Rams again to advance to the Superbowl. Four straight wins against our biggest rivals to get here.

And then it's the Pats. Of course it's the Pats. Beating them would complete the redemption arc. Vanquish all our demons.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

As a Niners fan... you ain't gotta rub it in like that! Still rooting for the Hawks though because it's the division my team's in.

We're supposed to hate the Seahawks, but I don't. I don't really dislike any team but I don't wanna see the Pats first to 7 Super Bowls. So I'm going Hawks. Completely unrelated to my username.

Guy Fieri as "Just a Guy" was something.

Collinsworth throwing shit at the only guy having a great game.

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.

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

HOW THE FUCK IS DARNOLD AVOIDING ALL THIS PRESSURE????

At least they took a shot into the end zone.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Which, in true Darnold fashion, was almost a disaster

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

my preditcion is patriots shut down the run and by proxy sam darnold

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

1st drive no. But Pats seem to be reading Hawks' pass patterns.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

yeah it could get messy if they are able to continuely jump routes

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

Pats offense needs to stay on the field and give the defense a break. Can’t keep this up all night.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Soooooooooo which team is going to come up with a brilliant half time adjustment? or is capable of it?

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

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 points 1 month ago

Walker is their entire offensive game play so far. Run him or pass to him.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

SOMETHING HAPPENED! A FUMBLE!!!
