AFC Championship- Patriots 21 Chargers 12
NFC Championship- Giants 23 Packers 20 OT

Both great games. Who do you think will win? I think the Patriots have it, but the G-Men will put up a good fight.

Wrong Fourm Crip :P

If i'm not mistaken this belongs in the General Discussion section. Not in International Incidents.

Yeah, but i like this one better

Is not not allowed here, or just not a popular spot?

AMERICAN FOOTBALL.

ALWAYS RELEVANT.


... but yes. my homerism is on proud, proud display.

AB! My man! I've not heard from you in forever!

General...the mods want this one just for RP. Sorry, Crip.

But I do say Pats...I'm a Jaguars fan. Pats are unstoppable.

AB! My man! I've not heard from you in forever!

My bad dawg, I've been off and on the past few months...point me to any threads ya need me at, I'm open now.

EDIT: Madcap Time Warp!

This thread is blatantly in the wrong forum but I must say HOW BOUT DEM GIANTS? YEAH THATS RIGHT, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, FAVRE? WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The simple solution would have been to RP it as if it were happening in your nation, and everyone responded ICly, that would have been the way you should have done it.

This thread is blatantly in the wrong forum but I must say HOW BOUT DEM GIANTS? YEAH THATS RIGHT, WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, FAVRE? WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stfu Doom before I come through IRC and strangle you. :(

I request a move to NS: General. A roleplay forum is no place for RL events.

Zilam are displeased with superbowl. :(

i was disappointed too, i would have liked to see either the Packers or, the Redskins go for NFC. Im glad about the Pats though, im from Mass, so Im lovin sports right now.

lol, I'm just glad greenbay got shut down at the last minute.

But the Patriots will floor the Giants, they already beat the better Manning.

I think the Pats will win. The last time a team has gone undefeated was 1972 Dolphins.

Duuuuude... *waves away pot smoke cloud*

Put me down for the Pats. They've had an amazing season and I think they deserve it.

I feel pretty smug knowing that I predicted it (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13387053&postcount=160), if only in jest at the time. However, given all the broadcast problems that occured the last time these two teams met, I do want to make sure this game will be broadcast nationally, right? :p

All kidding aside, I don't think we'll see a repeat of the Patriots' 38-35 win- it'll be by a much wider margin. This one is for *all* the marbles, not just records and pride, meaning the Patriots will have much more intensity this time around. Furthermore, given New England's proven Super Bowl track record (including that of Tom Brady) and given the New York Giants' spotty playoff record, not to mention Eli Manning's youth, I don't see how the Giants could ultimately compare with New England. I don't think I need to bring up the talent gap here either.

That said, there *is* history on the side of the Giants- the last time the Giants faced their Super Bowl adversary in the regular season (in 1990 against the Buffalo Bills), they lost their regular season game (at the Meadowlands no less) yet won the Super Bowl (while also being the underdog). Furthermore, in their other Super Bowl-winning year (1986), the Giants also played their opponent in the regular season (the Denver Broncos, at the Meadowlands, but this time Phil Simms & Co. won the game). In fact, the only time the Giants lost the Super Bowl (2000 against the Baltimore Ravens) was when they didn't play their opponent in the regular season. So New England's victory is anything *but* assured.

Besides, New Yorkers have to get back at the Bostonians after they took the World Series, right? :D

With any luck the Pats will choke.

Or die.

With any luck the Pats will choke.

They were on the way to choking against San Diego but the Chargers couldn't turn a few of those turnovers into TD's.

Though I am rooting for both teams, I am throwing my vote to the New England Patriots.

Although, Eli has really changed in the playoffs this year.

Am I the only one wondering, "Now, how the hell did the Giants get this far?"

Himself and I will be cheering for opposing teams. This automatically makes it a great Superbowl in my book.

Am I the only one wondering, "Now, how the hell did the Giants get this far?"

Me too.

Its called luck and a QB who has finally found a way not to turn the ball over.

Eli Manning: Game Manager. Eli isn't good, he just isn't bad.

Also, I don't want to see the Pats win but I don't want to see the Giants win. I'm an Eagles fan, and NY would never forget how fucking magical they were when they stopped the Pats.

Am I the only one wondering, "Now, how the hell did the Giants get this far?"

Nope. I was shocked when the even beat the Bucs. I thought they were going to surely lose to the Cowboys. Then, i thought i knew the Packers had them. Im really surprised.

I LOLed

So the Giants overcame the Packers last night in below zero weather. I guess the 3rd Tyne was the charm(oh God horrid pun!) because Tyne scored the winning kick. The Giants finally won 23 to 20 in overtime.

Yay!:D but they're facing the dreaded Patriots! I hope the Giants can crush Tom Brady and bring an abrupt ending to the Pats perfect season.

Predictions?

It'll be a long and boring game, with time outs that effectively cut into shows that people would otherwise rather be watching. The game will then be subject to unprecedented snowfall. *nods*

I'm going for the Giants.
But the patriots will win.

Boston Vs New York, blegh it's like baseball season all over again. I'm hoping there are good commercials.

You smell that? Thats the smell of a Giants victory over the Pats in the SSUperbowl.

I hate Tyne and I hate the Chiefs, since we traded Tyne for some rookie and the rookie sucked, and Tyne went on to take a team to the superbowl.

>=[ :upyours: Damn you, Tyne/Chiefs!

I think the Pats will win. They didn't get this far just to lose the Super Bowl.

I think the Pats will win big. Besides, it's better for fans outside of New York if they do- just imagine all the airtime on ESPN wasted on showing the covers of the respective NY papers if they win, and all the overhyped analysis just because they call themselves a New York team even if they do play in Jersey.

The Pat's offence looked pretty bad last night, and they still won by nine points. I think the Giants are doomed.

Doomed.

DOOMED!

No one said that KC was the smartest team in the AFC West. No wonder some commercial called them the Chefs :D

Go Patriots. Keep the title in the AFC!!!

I hope the Giants stop the cheating scum bag Patriots from winning the Super Bowl. (Yes I am a Jets fan)

It would be nice to see the Patriots lose a game because no one can stand them anymore.

I think the Patriots will win by ten points, but no more. The fact the regular season game ended 38-35 doesn't lead me to think the Giants will be blown out of this one, but the fact New England just appears to be in a higher league than the NFL doesn't make me think that the Giants will have a chance either.

I don't want the Pats to win but I think they will because the Giants don't have a great record in winning Superbowls.

U mean their 2-1 record?

Am I the only one wondering, "Now, how the hell did the Giants get this far?"

No, pretty much every sports fan in the nation is wondering that.

LOL, sorry Jer, but i think you just got shut down by Corneliu

And the Patriots are 3-2 in the Super Bowl :D

Patriots will throttle the giants. I have no interest in this superbowl because its going to be a route.

The Pats already beat the giants twice during the season (and the second time as only about 3 weeks ago), so I know for a fact this third time will be no different.


Might as well make the Pats 19-0 now and just give em the trophey, save everyone the trouble.

Twice? Um...they only played them once this season. They did play them in preseason but that was not the season.

And the Patriots are 3-2 in the Super Bowl :D

true, but 3-0 with Belichick and Brady.

Also, Knights, they played only once this season. Pat's only play 3 teams more than once in a regular season, Jets, Dolphins, and Bills because they're AFC East.

And the Patriots are 3-2 in the Super Bowl :D

I think I got mixed with another team, but I still don't want the Pats to win.

LOL> It hink it would be interesting to see what happened if they lose. It would show Tom Brady crying. Then, Peyton Manning crying LOL.

Tom Brady does not cry. Tom Brady malfunctions.

Personally, if they don't have a super-fucking-awesome O-Line, Brady does not reach God status. Nor do they go 19-0.
