NFL SuperBowl LIV - 2/2/2020
- Thread starter VF21

A lot of the Seahawks fans in my circle are Timbers fans who hate the other team that plays in their stadium and use a childish name to describe Seattle. It's just a complete mind-f that you can run your mouth off about Seattle for 9 months out of the year and suddenly turn Seahawk fan during the soccer offseason. It's about 50-50 from my Portland native friends between the 9ers and Hawks with some Raiders fans sprinkled in (and boy are those folks loving the Pats early demise this year like the Raiders have had anything to cheer about since 2003, it's like a victim of spousal abuse cheering that their happily married neighbors had a fight about bills one night).
GB fans I know are largely a bunch of people with no tie whatsoever to the midwest. They've won just enough to not really be underdogs and yet are chronic underachievers based on media treatment/perception which makes it even more puzzling how folks just glom onto that team. And boy do they run their mouths. Maybe it's because they have similar colors to the Oregon Ducks?
Speaking of, I actually had one person try to defend the position that the Titans held Marcus Mariota back and all a QB has to do in Tenn. is hand off the ball. Ok, then why has Marcus been so bad the past two years? (hey, I'd love the Pats to bring him in to backup Brady next year if I wasn't now convinced he just isn't all that)
Sorry for mini rant, I'm rooting for SF from here on out even though I'm Cinderella, it's midnight and you have my magic slipper (Jimmy G).

I cannot believe the hit that Crowley put on Wentz didn't result in a penalty at least. I'm really tired of seeing officials look the other way as Seattle takes out opposing players with helmet-to-helmet hits. Props to the Eagles for trying their best.
NOTE: I'll be removing the old poll and putting a new one in its place shortly.

This round is TOUGH. If the games are anywhere near as good as they should be, I'm in for a whole bunch of football fun next weekend. On a personal note, I picked the teams I want to win. Of the 4 matchups, I think the last one is gonna be the most nail-biting. I'd much rather see the Niners face the Packers so I'm gonna be using all my mojo to send them good wishes for next Sunday ONLY.
